It has been Sophia O'Shea's dream to travel to an Asian county, and she gets the opportunity to do so when she lands a job working as a member of the production crew to the Netflix original movie "A Tourist Guide to Love." When she gets to the count...
We were in the middle of the city, shooting the very last scene where Amanda chases after Sinh before he makes an escape to his dad's place to get away from everything, and she has to overcome her fear of crossing a busy road full of mopeds in order to get to him. She was scared to do it before, but in order to get to the man she loves before he leaves, and before she leaves as well, she has to do it. Really, it was so touching.
Being a part this filming process we quite an experience, minus the drama between me, Scott and Joey. I was told that I had an in to maybe being a part of another film, most likely another Netflix original. I was all for it. Maybe I would be able to get onto the set of a major film. The only downside to it all—show business—the movie was spoiled as you were working on it. Before, even, since you would be working on the script. The rush would be seeing the finished product—the project all of the cast and crew worked on for weeks. Not the excitement of seeing a new movie and seeing it as a surprise.
It was a risk I was willing to take. Only in the next one, I would be more focused on the movie and not the hot actor in it. Said actor was way across this wide street, standing over near what was supposed to be an opera house. Some crew members were with him, as well as a cameraman, since the movie needed to show Sinh's face when he sees Amanda braving the busy street for him.
This was the last scene we would be filming, interestingly, since scenes were shot out of order mostly. We were following the storyline pretty well, aside for a few out-of-order shots.
It was bittersweet. I didn't want this to end. I didn't want my experience on a film set to end, nor did I want to leave this beautiful country.
Everyone got into place, and we started the scene. The moped riders went on riding, creating a chaotic street. The camera was on Rachael as she, as Amanda, shouted for Sihn, but he couldn't hear her, so she decided to cross the street. I was on the side she was on originally, so I watched as she made it across the street, and there was an aerial camera capturing her doing it.
We all knew that the ending scene had a kiss, and in the past few days, Scott and I talked about it again. I told him that I wouldn't freak out like I did last time, no matter how many times the shot was done. I knew that I loved him and he loved me, and he knew it, too. We were crazy about each other, and all our new friends here knew it. Also... Brittany started talking to Joey online, and so far, it was going well. I was crossing my fingers. Joey was headed back to LA as well, so maybe they could meet up.
That was another thing... I was still down about not seeing Scott for a while before he would come back to LA after Thailand. We talked about that, too, and we both agreed that we would do our best to get through it.
When you love someone, you never want to be away from them.

The scene was shot a few more times before Steven and everyone else was happy with it. The mopeds stopped, and I was able to get through the street and go over to Scott. Since everyone knew that we were a thing, I wrapped my arms around his torso in front of Rachael, Steven, the cameramen, and a couple others of the crew. Most of them thought nothing of it, but Rachael was grinning as Scott wrapped his arms around me.
