Production Update #35: Still Charging Windmills -- SHOOT Sat 5/31 @10am

Well, in the spirit of financial irresponsibility I've decided to take some of the money I made by producing the public TV documentary "Eatin Crabs: Chesapeake Style" and use it to purchase more 16mm film stock. For those of you who've lost track (or interest), we now have 48 minutes of our feature film project fine cut, and about 25 minutes left to shoot and cut...

We kicked off the summer with a 4-hour MOS shoot last Sunday May 25 with Talia (Novia Campbell) still struggling her way through her honeymoon-from-hell (and a backyard overgrown with weeds...)

This weekend, we want to keep our momentum up...

SHOOT: This Saturday May 31, 2008 -- 10am - 2:30pm

Cast and crew call: 10am

Location: Village Inn Tavern. Lineboro, Maryland

Scenes will include:

1) Tavern: Talia & Skip ("How can I get out of town?")  [tungsten stock]

2) Payphone: Talia (calls her maid of honor for the third time) [daylight stock, short end?]

3) Flynt's Front Porch: Talia, Jim (Jim brings the walking wounded) [tungsten stock]

All of this will be shot in "downtown" Lineboro, and barring bad weather, equipment failure, and horrible traffic, it should be a fairly light -- and dare I say? -- enjoyable day...

As always, we could use several student volunteers: for pre-production, prop gathering, packing and moving gear, confirming actors, as well as gripping and production assistance on the day of the shoots (lighting, slating, audio assistance, still photos). If you have half a day, I'm sure we can put you to good use.

Thanks to everyone for their trust, kind words, and support -- and sweat!  Hope to see you on Saturday..
