[twitter-follow username="ejamesdevereaux" scheme="dark"] I had originally thought that the script for Noirish Project was very simple and slight - although there are several moments of high drama, mostly the script is laid-back, often the characters are engaged in small talk.

[twitter-follow username="ejamesdevereaux" scheme="dark"] Today’s shoot went really, really well.
