Tomorrow marks one year since we started filming ‘Behind The Silent Mic’.
This is going to be a thread of the chaotic production.... because.... the whole thing is fucking funny to look back on!
Everything that could have gone wrong - went wrong.... but we somehow made it work!

One year on, I want to thank @richard_bagnulo, @niamhadonnelly, Piper, Bruce, Darragh, @RoozleDoozle and all the cast and crew for ‘the craziest and funniest FMP production process’ to ever exist....
This thread is sure to bring back many painful, but hilarious(?) memories....

MAY 20, 2019: Day Six
Adam manages to get the studio for a couple hours, to film a scene.
The scene is filmed about 19 times, because Adam’s annoying and picky.
FUN FACT: This gif alone is from three different takes, with invisible cuts to make it ‘kinda’ look like one...

May 22, 2019: Day Eight
Adam is set to film several auditions, from 5pm - 7pm.
#TENET is announced.
Sam Robertson calls off filming, because he says I ‘won’t be productive’ and it ‘won’t be to a high standard’, because I’ll just be thinking about TENET.
He knew me too well.
