			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, today <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sunshine-Rose-Byrne/dp/B000S6UZEM/ref=sr_1_2/026-1459277-0982068?ie=UTF8&#038;s=dvd&#038;qid=1188227561&#038;sr=1-2">Sunshine was released on DVD</a>. I thought I&#8217;d take this chance to just share some of my Sunshine memories (well the ones which come with photographs which I can more or less make public) from the past two years&#8230;</p>
<p>During filming at 3 Mills Studios, I carried my &#8216;office&#8217; with me to and from work every single day. I looked like a techy bag lady.<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/me_sunsh.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/me_sunsh_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>One of my very favourite things was wandering around the sets which weren&#8217;t being filmed on. Here&#8217;s me sitting in the social area of the Icarus II, where Capa sits when he&#8217;s told he&#8217;s got to make *the* decision.<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/me_onset.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/me_onset_sm.jpg"</a></p>
<p>My Sunshine husbands were/are Damien&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/daaamien.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/daaamien_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>&#8230;and Phil<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/phiiiil.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/phiiiil_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>They did the videos, I did the website. We sat next to each other, ate lunch with each other, made each other copious amounts of coffee, hung out together, stalked Danny together&#8230; the whole thing.</p>
<p>My <a href="http://www.apolloschildren.com/brian/">actual husband</a> was on-set regularly, too.<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/brian_onset.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/brian_onset_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>In between the moment Danny shouted &#8216;Ladies and Gentlemen, that is a wrap&#8217; in December 2005 and the start of the post-production phase, there was the wrap party at which Benny Wong DJed.<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/benny_dj.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/benny_dj_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>The post-production phase went on and on and I didn&#8217;t see a single frame of the film until September 2006 &#8211; it started with a completely different character doing the voice over and was, in my memory, fairly different from the final film. Danny finished post in December 2006 and a couple days later was the first time the trailer was shown. This is Andrew Macdonald, on his Crackberry, in the screening room waiting to watch the trailer shown on a cinema screen for the first time.<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/andrew_trailer.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/andrew_trailer_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Andrew is just the loveliest person in the world. I love him lots and lots and lots. And lots. He very kindly invited me to Moscow to the &#8216;Sunshine&#8217; premiere. Here&#8217;s the two of us in Red Sq.<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/red_sq2.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/red_sq2_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>The Moscow Sunshine Boys&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/red_sq1.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/red_sq1_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Andrew, me, Brian and Danny all tarted up for the premiere.<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/premieremoscow.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/premieremoscow_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Brian, Danny and Cillian (well, his back) ready to walk on stage.<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/russiabackstage.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/russiabackstage_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>And on stage&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/russiastage.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/russiastage_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>I, of course, made a point of making sure my son met as many &#8216;Sunshine&#8217; people as he could. He got <a href="http://www.giagia.co.uk/?p=25">Alex&#8217;s autograph though Andrew said he&#8217;d only sign a cheque</a>&#8230; He also had a great time on set with Troy Garity (who was absolutely lovely with him)&#8230;</p>
<p>He got to meet Chris Evans&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/mm_ce.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/mm_ce_sm.jpg"</a></p>
<p>&#8230;Cliff Curtis&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/mm_cc.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/mm_cc_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>&#8230;Benedict Wong&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/mm_bw.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/mm_bw_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>&#8230;and was a honorary Sunshine Boy for a day.<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/sunshineboys.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/sunshineboys_sm.jpg"></a></p>
<p>So now I&#8217;m finished with Sunshine&#8230; there&#8217;s not really anything left to do (whether or not LA will hire me for *their* DVD release remains to be seen&#8230;), so for the next wee bit I&#8217;m working on &#8217;28 Weeks Later&#8217;&#8230; so you might want to get used to these.<br />
<a href="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/28wlqr.jpg"><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2007/08/28wlqr_sm.jpg"</a></p>
<p>Heh.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I took my son to <a href="http://www.sunshinedna.com">Sunshine</a> yesterday. I introduced him to Alex Garland and reminded him of when we were at Stonehenge <a href="http://www.giagia.co.uk/?p=4">and he said he was like &#8216;that Alex guy&#8217;</a>. They talked about computer games for a bit. My son was amazed that an <b>adult</b> knew about Mario&#8230;</p>
<p>He went around getting various people&#8217;s autographs- actors and crew- then drawing a picture and signing <i>his</i> autograph for them. Just before we left he asked Alex for his. Alex signed his name a few times then chose the one he thought was the best autograph, then drew a rocket. My son asked him if he drew comics when he was a kid so Alex drew Judge Dredd&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2006/04/alexautograph.jpg"></p>
<p>Then my son asked producer Andrew Macdonald for his autograph. Andrew said, &#8216;I only sign cheques.&#8217;&#8230; so Alex  drew a cheque for £20,000,000 made out to my son&#8230; and Andrew signed it.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.giamilinovich.com/giapics/2006/04/andrewautograph.jpg"></p>
<p>We gathered our things together to leave and my son said, &#8216;Bye, famous people&#8217; and we left.</p>
