We are now shooting almost exclusively in our farmhouse location in Amana, our days are getting longer, and our scenes more difficult. We blacked out two rooms to shoot night scenes and shot the closing scene of the movie. We managed to pull through despite an excess of stressful (to say the least) incidents. Thanks to Andy's Grandmother for lunch!
Today we covered ground from Mt. Pleasant to Middle Amana while shooting, with Jared suffering from a case of the shingles. The cast and crew worked well despite his erratic behavior, proof that we are working on a truly collaborative endeavor.
The shoot today went smoothly despite tight scheduling and two missing crew members. Krish stood in for Calvin and Lawrence and made an impressive showing for his first time on set. We were joined by Kirsten and Tim, who performed magnificantly as the waitress and jerk employee. Alex drank an entire rootbeer float in one scene, Henry tripped over mic cords/his shoelaces just twice, and Jared only managed to "sneak" into one shot. Alex also saw an awesome trailer during the shoot. He aspires to become an actor worthy of such a beautiful vehicle.
We have a website! If you're reading this, you have found your way to our new and still under-construction website! Thanks to the genius of Mark Root-Wiley, we have now gone public.
Today's shoot was cold, wet, and windy. Henry (and camera) almost got blown off the back of a moving pickup truck. Two crazy Iowans crashed our shoot and told us we couldn't be using public roads through their land, and that if we wanted to see bald eagles we should go somewhere else.
