Storyboard, shot list, crew projections; resulting budget makes me back slowly out of the spreadsheet and rewrite script, rinse, lather, repeat.
Budgeting, crewing up, paperwork, double-checking ["Does that location have electricity? Are you sure? Well can I come check?"]
Location nailed down; made rough floor plan and video for walkthrough, to share with DP, gaffer and sound mixer.

Auditions held
Casting complete. Lucky, lucky. Three of the actors who took time to come in (thank you!) were so outstanding that the choices were easy.
Sylvia Kratins - made me forget about everyone else for that part.
Tom Cokenias - when he walked in, I assumed he must be a veteran TV actor. He owned the part from the start.
Jamal "M" Jennings - the embodiment of the role he accepted.
Fortunately they all said yes.

Beginnings
Inspiration: a news item forwarded by Louis-Eric Simard: a protest in Montreal against Berger Blanc, who run the city's animal shelters.
Released into the playpen of my brain, the story mutates. A battered woman shows up at a financially strapped shelter, in search of her dog. But things are not as they seem. Yeah. I feel a film coming on. Unleash the casting notice!
