Unfortunately due to a server error it has taken rather sometime to complete the Inner Calm Production Diary and update the website. Things are now back up and running so expect many updates and changes over the next few weeks.
Production wrapped on Inner Calm on the 15th of October, when the cast and crew took a much needed break and slept for a few days before celebrating the wrap with a well deserved party. Since then work has progressed on post production, with the edit moving steadily forward (expect a trailer to be posted soon) and many preparations being made for the upcoming festival season.
There is also now a dedicated Inner Calm website which can be found at www.innercalmthemovie.com. Over the coming weeks many updates will be made to the film's website with photo galleries, detailed information and some behind the scenes videos to be added.
Once again Tread Softly would like to thank everyone who has been involved or supported Inner Calm, here's to a great 2009!

Day 13 & 14
Joining the cast for the first two days filming in the idyllic town of Tabor, was Orlando Seale. On Monday the 22nd Orlando watched from a distance as Olivia Chappell and Tim Robinson continued their kissing scenes in another part of the world.
The following day Orlando and Olivia joined in a scene which required them to dance. The cast and crew took over a public chess space in central Tabor. The floor on the location was a giant chess board, and the set would have been perfect if the space hadn’t been trashed by Czech youths. Graffiti and dirt were some of the few problems facing the Art Department; Rhiannon Preece-Towey, after spending three hours on her hands and knees scrubbing the chess board floor, became rather over protective when a runner placed a foot on the now brightly shining floor.
Despite heavy rain and impending darkness, Gaffer Sam Alberg managed to rig the room so beautifully that the photos have been compared to a studio shoot. The Czech press where amazed that we were filming on one of the coldest days in the year, while Phillip James walked around in bare feet like the trooper he is. That night everyone returned to their rooms to enjoy a nice hot bath.
