In this week’s episode, while Elizabeth finishes up this latest round of edits, while Angie turns her attention to her summer project. She’ll be creating the scaffolding of a short film and, with a small number of actors, will work on improvising a film. Improv is a tool, be it short form improv like Who’s Line Is It Anyway, or even Harold, a more long form improv game. Improv with actors and a director and film however, will be an interesting balancing act of not squashing opportunities while letting moments happen naturally.
