Wishing For More Time

It is a sad fact that I barely find time to fuel my own body these past days with all the goodies I have been perfecting over the years and now want to share with the world. It's not so easy being Gluten-Free and having a sweet tooth and a foodies palette. But it can be done. Sometimes I even amaze myself with my creations!

Currently, I am working on a new film project, as yet untitled, directed by Nicole Holfcener, starring Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt. Oh, and Amanda Peet; I just don't understand her appeal and until she proves herself to me as an actress, this is a film starring Keener and Platt!

As the Decorator for the film, I am working hand in hand with the Production Designer,Mark White ('Transamerica', 'The Ten', Boiler Room' .....) and we are putting in some serious hours already. Quite typical when the Production gets behind, the Art Department suffers immensely and is under the gun constantly.

Last night before leaving the office, I received a call from the Caterer for the shoot. Regardless of the size of the budget of a film, food is a major priority for all the crew. A well fed crew is a happy crew and a happy crew gives their all to make a great film. But this is the first time ever that the caterer has _called me_! I always have to befriend the Caterer and the Craft Service peeps to beg for 'Kim Friendly Food' or as the rest of my fellow comrades know it, Gluten-Free. So I am about to make a list of simple ways to make my life on set happy and event free when it comes to food. Bliss! I'll still travel with industrial size bottles of Pepto and my RX for my tummy, a sublingual anti-spasmodic (just in case of accidental ingestion of some trace anount of gluten), but for someone to be concerned about my health and well-being before we even start shooting.....heaven!
I'll check in Monday after the first day in set and see how we do.
Eat well, Be well, Stay swell.
