Another day of filming

We've been doing shots on friend's homes/business places for the past days now. Tonight's shooting location was courtesy of WT (E's connection). We are just blessed to have such friends who willingly opened their homes and business places to us.

It took some courage to ask these friends. We know they will not refuse, yet we don't want them to think we are stretching the bonds the friendship. Before I even ask, I ask myself if there is enough emotional investment on the relationship to ask for such a favor.

When they say yes, they open themselves, their homes, their business place not only to us, but also to the other cast and crew, people they do not know. We use their place (and utilities too) , we take their time (time they could have spent doing something else), and for the whole shoot we put them in our control (lessen movements, lower voices, etc.)

So, how does one thank these kind hearted friends? It remains a puzzle to me.

p.s.
4 more shooting days. Still a long way to go.
