Too Much BTS

Hello Pals,

Too Much has been streaming on Netflix for a week and a half. What a joy to send this message in a bottle and see who picks it up and what you send back.

When it comes to TV- the people’s medium!- putting it into the world feels like the final touch, as if it’s a vase thrown on the wheel, carefully glazed but not yet fired, until the audience becomes the kiln (can you tell I went to pottery camp!? My counselor Leslie didn’t shave her legs or armpits and still had a gorgeous boyfriend- and that’s how I found out what feminism is!)

If you’ve watched, we are so thankful. If you haven’t yet and are looking for a rom-com with an acidic soul, I hope you might find it offers you some laughter, some “heck yeah” moments- and mostly, some comfort. As I inch toward forty, comfort means more and more.

Below are some of my favorite behind the scenes moments captured while making the show. My phone is always out on set- to set up shots, rewrite scenes or simply to capture the glorious “let’s put on a play” mayhem of this job.

And sometimes, I even manage to wedge into the picture 🙂‍↔️

From my camera to your phone, from our brains to your screens, from your lips to God’s ears!

Love,

Lena (and the Too Much Team)

Always take a pic on my first day in the office

Meg & Will’s very first rehearsal- their faces melt me

Miss Megan in a van pretending to ride to the countryside but actually in a warehouse standing very still- that’s called acting, baby!!!

BB gurls

Not sure who this guy is or how he always sneaks onto my sets

Rita Ora will win an EGOT is my prediction!

Janicza is never not serving

Mr Darcy looking like 🙄

bed bugs

What’s new pussycat?

We live to put Will in regency riding pants, mostly because he always makes this stank face

Ollie in his gas mask (didn’t make the cut, still important)

Ditto Andrew and his N’SYNC highlights
