Major Location Locked Down

One of the more important locations, a location that I had always thought about using as I was writing the script, is officially locked in.

My old work place, Rumbo, agreed to let me come in on July 8th and knock out the scenes for my film.

I have to admit that I'm a bit surprised that they said yes. I think they still feel sorry for having let me go. Regardless, I plan to shoot quick and get out. Especially since you can really see the progression of the day from the 8th floor view. If it's suppose to be noon and the sun is starting to set behind the actors, it's gonna look like I didn't do my homework.

I've got two other major locations that I still have to approach: the parking lot across the street from the Milam building and the convenience store where Rick and Samantha, the lead characters, will meet.

I'll drop off the release next week for them to sign. I'm not taking any chances on that. They're asking for a list of people who will be at the shoot. It's gonna be a big group. I'll probably get that to them at the same time.

Preproduction hasn't gotten too hectic yet, but I imagine that once we start to shoot, there will be lots to post. I'll try to keep the blog a little more up to date. I'll even post pictures of the cast. I like this place I'm at.

"Other writers, producers, and directors of low-budget films would often put down the film they were making, saying it was just something to make money with. I never felt that. If I took the assignment, I'd give it my best shot."
