Billy Fraker A.S.C., B.S.C., and Eli Kaufman (Winning
the Peace) at the Big
Bear Lake Film Festival (taken with the camera phone...Mr.
Fraker wouldn't approve, I'm sure.) |

Angy
and Insung at the Sedona
International Film Festival. Angy had several interviews.
This is a great festival with great organizers. Thank
you to Pat Schweiss, Sheila Jackman, and everyone involved
with the festival...KUDOS!! |

John
checks the long empty dirt road for proper framing. The
long empty dirt road was in San Bernardino County because
it was free, permits were easy, and even the California
Highway Patrol said it was okay. About a mile down in
LA County, it would have cost us about $250 per camera
set up. Thank you San Bernardino! |

"I
know it looks like I'm relaxing here, but I'm really
rehearsing my lines." Ian spent a good deal of time
rehearsing even when not necessary. He would go stand
or sit in a corner by himself, mumbling something. We
used to think he was crazy. But, we see now that he was
just going over his lines. |

Donnie
stares out the window to see if Carmen's gone. |

Carmen
plays with the broken Victrola. "I could have been
a ballerina!" |

Brooding. |

Empty. |

John
takes a meter reading. Don't tell anyone, but the car
wasn't moving when we shot the interior...unless you
count Hannes shaking the truck from the tail gate. |
 |
The
first shot of any shoot isn't complete without a cool
dolly movement that gets cut out during the editing process. |

"You
mean I can direct the entire movie from this box?" -Insung |

"The
House" exterior. Most people don't know that there
were actually two houses - One for the interior, another
for the exterior. |
 |
John
and Hannes devise an angle for which the camera is larger
than the window. Insung actually wrangled John to help
him for free because he had told him that he was going
to have Jaime Lee Curtis do a cameo for this other script
that he had. Well, he canned the script, but John still
stuck around and honored his word. |
 |
Everyone
remembers the clouds. Does anyone remember the barking
pit bull? |
 |
Insung
checks for framing at the library. Incidentally, there
were also two libraries - one for the exterior, another
for the interior. This is the Victorville Library. |
