The Final Push.

Mississippi.

Its a delta. The whole place was a swampy river before they hemmed the river in. Now its just a huge delta.

Last night our flight was canceled from Memphis so we had to hire another car and drive the three hour trip the puddle jumper would have done in 25 minutes. The car hire was over double the rate we would have paid in loco too. A grand down due to the wind. Wonderful.

My old friend Andy once said to me the only way to produce a big shoot abroad is to try and save as much money as possible before you leave, by doing the very best deals possible and then, once you're on the ground, you just have to roll with the changes and buy your way out of everything and anything that fate throws your way.

He's right. Shit happens. Money cleans it up.

The good news is that the film we have shot today is some of the coolest and most beautiful stuff you will ever see. My client will weep, or at least pay their bill!

We wrap the gig tomorrow, the final push of a nine day monster job through seven states costing god knows how much. I'm very relieved and proud of what my two guys and I have achieved. We've been plagued by illness, bad luck, faulty sat navs and ignorant fools but also had a very fine time seeing new places, meeting very cool and interesting people and kicking the ball pretty hard when we got the chance.

I'll look back at this gig with a grin.

Roll on the next one.
