When things go Wrong on Set

So your on set and things are looking great, but when making a film 
I learned something very important

You can prepare for everything, but it something will ALWAYS go wrong.

During our production of our film Baker for Hire, the bathroom at the AirBnb we were shooting at and where our actor was staying broke. We weren't shooting until 7pm that night and it was 11 in the morning. The owner could not fix it, so I drove our actor to a dunkin donuts to use the bathroom. sometimes you have to bite the bullet and drive an hour and a half round trip so your actor can answer the call of nature. We also arrived at our AirBnB assuming it had an oven because the pictures of the kitchen showed what looked like to be an oven, and so we were all surprised when it turned out to be just a fancy cabinet. Sometimes there are things go wrong and it could have been prevented, other times it comes out of the blue and you just have to deal with it. 
What I have learned after this experience:

1. Something will always go wrong
2. Don't Assume, always double and triple check
3.When something ultimately goes wrong
