(Full credit list at bottom of post.)

Some behind the scenes shots taken by Landon (when Landon, River God, was not flexing his spear muscles, making out in paradise or playing with my hair). I think I've exhausted "magical" but our week shooting in paradise couldn't have a more fitting adjective. I'm completely ensorcelled by this cast and crew of brilliant women, little women and men. Emily's luminous performance, the perfection of each shot by cinematographer Ashley, Maximilla and Sarah's inspired directing (and Sarah near 8 months pregnant and in the midst of a move) and Sam and Pat, who worked tirelessly, building rafts, cooking for 20+, ensuring those around them were happy, well fed and enthusiastic about their work all while maintaining a sunny disposition throughout, those two especially are a force to be reckoned with. I fell pretty well in love with the whole lot of them!
