Updates

Hello Folks -
     It has been a while, I know, but that only means there is much to share.  After wrap, the filmmakers moved from Scottsdale to Sherman Oaks (greater LA for you non SoCalites) to begin the editing process.  They teamed up with John Bryant, an editor with years of experience, to shape Jake’s [...]

That’s a Wrap

     After a very intense evening on Saturday, Sunday’s filming was of a lighter mood, making for the perfect final day of filming.  We wrapped up with Spence and Johnny inside a sports store, simple as that.  No paintball fights, jalapeno eating contests, dancing, horseshoe games, or crying – nothing difficult.  Just a nice, easy [...]

Days 21 & 22

     We are filming at a house just down the street here in Scottsdale.  The residents of the neighborhood have all come by to take a peak at this production.  It is amazing to me how nice these people are to let us come in with our trucks and trailers and disturb their lives.  We [...]

Day 20

     I believe I mentioned in the previous blog that day 2o’s location was a hospital.  Well, it was the best hospital visit I’ve ever had.  For once I didn’t come away with a cast or scars or anything like that.  Great success.  For the first half of the day, we shot mostly outside by [...]

Day 19

     Our last day here in Payson went quite well, despite the gusts of wind that made for a rather chilly morning.  We shot footage at a funeral home (respectfully) and wrapped up a scene we tried to sort out on Saturday night.  This scene originally was being done at Jake’s, at night, in the cabin [...]

Days 17 & 18

     So yesterday we wrapped up filming at Jake’s Corner, at least in and around the bar area.  We have one more thing to catch on Tuesday, but that shouldn’t take too long.  So, yeah, that’s that for the bar.  Enough cannot be said about the people at Jake’s – they welcomed us (a big [...]

Day 16

     A couple long days and nights here as we try to catch up on our rain delay from two Saturdays ago.  This on top of some of the more difficult scenes to coordinate while we are getting ready to wrap up filming at Jake’s.  Soon, we will be off to the Valley, and then, [...]

Day 15

     Probably the most difficult day of shooting, thus far.  Not due to any problems on the set, mind you, just the complexity of nailing a particular scene that involves many characters and extras.  Throw in a jalapeno eating contest (the main action), and maybe you can get a sense of what has had to [...]
