I don't believe this...

Shooting was scheduled to be completely finished by the end of this weekend. Everything was going fine; we had everyone on set, we were to get a beautiful sunset, and we only had about 2 scenes left to film. But out of fucking nowhere, Finn goes and flips out over nothing and just walks right off the set. We were unable to convince him to come back and now we're unsure of where he even is, that bastard went AWOL on me. I don't know what the hell to do now. We'll never find someone with Finn's talent on such short notice. Not only that, but that fucker Joe is swamped with other projects for the next week or so. Steve is not happy about this, he tells me I'm going to have to pull some strings here or I'm fucked.

Sigh...

I guess this is just the price one must pay for trying to make a film like this.. SitD is the film they didn't want you to see. Something real, and integritous, and truly challenging to the sensibilities. Maybe fate doesn't allow for some things to be seen, I guess the world isn't ready for Surgery in the Dark....

I should never have let Finn hold responsibility over developing that trailer. I guess I'm going to have to do that myself too. You just can't trust anyone in this business. They'll stab you in the back the first chance they get. I probably should have known Finn would do something like this though. Maybe this is partially my own fault. I never should have let Finn work me over with his charm. I should have paid closer notice to all of these signs that he was an unstable jackass.

However, in spite of everything, I'm not going to give up this easily. I'm going to hold emergency auditions first thing tomorrow for someone to replace Finn. I'm going to develop a trailer myself. I guess all of this has taught a valuable lesson: I never needed Finn to begin with, he's only been holding me back.

Sometimes glove don't feel like it should...
