One year ago today we gathered together to start production on ‘Elle’. I still remember the mix of excitement and nerves. It definitely wasn’t the smoothest start, But somehow, through teamwork, laughter, and a lot of heart, we pulled together and made something special.

Beyond the film itself, Elle gave me new friendships, memories, and a reminder of why I love doing this in the first place.

So grateful for everyone who was part of it, you made the experience unforgettable.

After spending the past week watching back through the footage of My Roommate Lucy, I honestly can’t say enough good things about this cast.

Every single one of you excelled beyond my expectations. You didn’t just play your roles, you brought real depth, energy, and authenticity that lifted the story off the page and turned it into something truly special. Watching your performances come together has been such a privilege, and it makes me even more excited for what’s ahead.

I feel incredibly proud and grateful to have worked alongside such talented, dedicated, and generous people. You’ve each given so much of yourselves to this project, and it shows in every frame.

This film wouldn’t be what it is without you, Thank You for trusting me and Thank You for giving it your all, and for making this experience one I’ll never forget. It’s hard to believe it’s only been just over a week since we wrapped.

That’s a wrap on My Roommate Lucy!

I can’t quite put into words how much this means to me. This film has been a year and a half in the making, and in so many ways it’s the fulfillment of a dream I’ve been chasing for 27 years. To see it come to life has been nothing short of surreal.

To the cast and crew, thank you! from the bottom of my heart. Every single one of you has worked tirelessly, gone above and beyond, and poured your talent, creativity, and energy into this project. Set life isn’t easy, there were long days, challenges, and moments that tested us but together, you’ve made something truly special.

This wouldn’t have been possible without all of you, and I feel so lucky to have shared this journey with such an incredible team. You’ve not only helped me achieve a lifelong dream, you’ve made the experience unforgettable and I can’t wait to get on another one and work with all of you again.

With production wrapped we head off into post-production and I can’t wait for the world to see what we’ve created.

They’ll be plenty more BTS pictures and videos coming soon to give you a peak of the fun we had making this.

Thank you all again, it was an absolute pleasure.

Today we say goodbye to two fantastic talents, Toki and Eva, as they wrapped on My Roommate Lucy.

From the very first day, they’ve brought such warmth, professionalism, and dedication to set but more than that, they’ve brought heart. It’s been such a privilege watching them bring their characters to life, and the joy, laughter, and energy they’ve shared with the whole team will be missed.

We’ve loved every moment of having them with us, and we’re so proud of the work they’ve done.

It’s people like them who make the set such a great place to be, and we’re so grateful for everything they’ve done. It’s been such a joy having them with us on this project!

Today we wrapped with our leading lady, Megan, and what an incredible two weeks it’s been! She’s truly brought her character to life beyond my expectations in My Roommate Lucy and made the role something really special.

Beyond the amazing work on camera, we’ll miss having her around on set, the laughs, the energy, and the good vibes she brought every single day. Thank you, Megan, for everything, I can’t wait for everyone to see your performance!

A massive THANK YOU! to the incredible cast and crew of My Roommate Lucy. Every single person has poured their energy, passion, and creativity into this project, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Set life is no easy ride, there have been long days, challenging moments, and plenty of unexpected hurdles but through it all, the dedication and spirit of this team have made the experience nothing short of extraordinary.

I’m immensely proud of each and every one of you. Watching this film come to life has been an absolute blast so far, and I feel so lucky to be surrounded by such talent and hard work. With week one of production now wrapped, we’re charging full steam ahead into our second and final week.
