Due to challenges around scheduling and locations, shoot dates kept getting delayed. In the end, to facilitate things, I offered my house so we could shoot the pivotal scene where the protagonist comes to visit his mother, who is very ill. We wrapped the scene in about 4 hours on April 18, 2012.
Well! Talk about a great working location! Not only did I not have to leave home, I even got to lie in bed to do the scene.
Hope all those gurus, who talk about how we need to commute less to reduce pollution, are taking note of this option.
I'm showing some stills taken during the shoot. One of me in my mother role and then one of the guys setting up in my guest room.On-camera are center, Daniel Shulkin (director) and left, Shawn Nova, cinematographer. Slightly off-camera are left, Robert Eaton (actor) and right, Spencer Still (sound).
When I have some film footage, I'll create an additional post.
As for what's wrong with "mom" and what's happening to her "son" David, you'll have to wait until the film is released!
