Mise en scène: Sweet Misery

On a Sunday afternoon, 4 film students from the New York Film Academy united at 88 Greenwich to film Sweet Misery.

Between jokes, pizza, computers, wine, and some other stuff is where the magic occurred. Little do I need to say, the result was extraordinary, NATAS quality of course.

The actress, former Miss Universe 2008 Dayana Mendoza did a wonderful job in spite of being her first week at acting school!

We all had a great time; everyone worked really hard and professionally and the energy was great and very positive! The team worked successfully, obtaining a great result at the end.

Eduardo Alcivar AKA Bandana did a fantastic job directing all his people at the set! He even got 3 large pizzas and beverages for everyone! :)

Logan Hodson's role as the Director of Photography was crucial and extremely accurate to assure good quality in the production.

Evan Quinn, the gaffer, helped around improvising a slidable platform (made out of my favorite blanket) for the camera and positioning the lights in the right way!

Natalia Lopez worked as the Camera Assistant and was a dear of a girl and so nice to be around, showing the Natas team some nice and funky music from Spain, her homeland and also helping with the construction of the slidable platform.

Gabriel Alcivar, also known as WACHO was a great caterer making sure everyone's glass was filled with exquisite white wine and taking charge of the camera for some behind the scenes footage!

And I was in charge of the beauty, of course!!

Here are some backstage pictures for all of you to enjoy!!
