As you know, the hiking scene took a bit of a left turn with Evelyn taking a fall and Emmett refusing to help her. I had him record B-roll checking in on her when wegot back to the farm, so we can spin his concern for her health if you choose to use the accident.
We reshot the scene and have him call for a medic, but it reads a bit wooden on screen.
The good news is we caught the kiss at Prickle Point from multiple angles, and Camera Two shot over his shoulder to give us the perfect angle on Evelyn’s face while also catching the sunset. I think with a little artful clipping, that scene will hit exactly the way we wanted it to.
The women back in the bunkhouse were NOT pleased about him choosing Evelyn for the picnic, and we captured a lot of shit-talk and catty B-roll. Cookie and Evelyn seem to have some mounting tension that might be worth building this week.
Let’s see what next week holds!

CHAPTER 21
Julia
Mom
Can you not tell your brother ANYTHING about the show? He keeps asking me. He’s like a dog with a bone.
Julia
Is that your way of calling him annoying?
Mom
I mean… if I had to label one of my children that way, it would not be you. But I prefer to consider him determined.
Julia
I’m sticking with annoying.
“The Ranch? No, that bar is where all the yuppies go.”
My gaze shifts up from my phone, landing on Emmett’s bare, chiseled, glistening torso.
My mouth dries.
