BEHIND THE SCENES: WRAPPING MILLERS SURPLUS

This entry was posted on 11/2/2006 7:31 PM and is filed under production.

Our third and last day filming at the Millers Surplus store was an easy evening. Actor Tom Rogers is wrapped, completing his portrayal of our "Ray" character. Assistant Director Paul Adkins joined me and my Producer Gabriele Andres that night to get us out of Act II and into Act III, the last of three Acts that will complete principal photography.

On this night, we filmed all of the simple shots we saved for last, getting all of the more difficult shots out of the way on the previous nights. Los Nawdy Dogs were rehearsing "Eve Of Destruction", the song we want to buy the mechanical rights to use as a cover song in our movie. Below are some behind the scenes photos from that night:
