City Island director Raymond Di Felitta gives us our Friday quotient of director blogging by giving MovieSet two short clips of actors Andy Garcia and Julianne Margulies preparing to shoot two scenes. "Here are two charming and telling moments, showing Julianna in the one and Andy in the other, each alone--trapped--in the car trying to figure out how best to get started," explains the director in his latest blog posting. "Directing via walkie-talkie is almost impossible and being out on the highway, with other cars passing and pointlessly honking at us, makes everything even tenser." One of the hazards of being a working actor is when the scene calls on you to drive a moving automobile. It's hard enough having to have your hands full with a cup of coffee or a cigarette but it's also up to you to mark the scene by snapping the clapboard yourself. You try doing that with all those things in your hands and while pretending to drive a car on the back of a flatbed truck and trying to remember your lines. Ah, the joys of working in show business. "The process trailer truly is a weirdly clustrophobic filmic experience for all involved," adds Di Felitta. "My DP, Vanja Cernjul, told me that the great DP Allan Davieu told him that he once turned down a script because he could tell that eighty percent of the movie was going to be the crew and actors stuck on process trailers and there was no way he was dealing with that; the film was American Graffitti."
