I don't know why poor Merry Death kept getting shunted into the "responsible straight-man" role. Probably because we happened to be in the same English class, and I would frequently have the answer of "no" when she asked if I had the homework?

The whole "We're not filming again" thing up top really sucked. We had a team of several people who were super stoked to be a part of my buddy's project, and really wanted to make the film...and then one lynch-pin actor who kept flaking. I tried to get my buddy to re-cast the role after the time every single other person who was supposed to be there for production one day showed up, except that guy after two hours of waiting for him and trying to get ahold of him. No dice, though, my buddy had written the role for this particular guy, and really liked working with him. I couldn't fault him for loyalty, but I hated how it killed the production. Heh, I still have the old scripts, tho'.
