Stunt Coordinator

Ryan our Director and Toby our Production Designer, Kevin our Writer/Producer and I had a chance to meet with one of the best in the business at his house the other night. We sat down with Gary Davis (Check out his impressive credits)

to discuss a hanging scene that we have with our character Marcus. Our actor Matt Thompson will be coming up to Sacramento to meet with Gary and get fitted for the harness and rig. We hope that Gary will be on set with us, but he may be shooting Love Ranch during the same time as our shoot. However, we know he'll hook us up with another expert to make sure our stunt with Matt is safe. Thanks to Gary and his wife for the hospitality and for opening their home to us. It continues to amaze me how many talented and generous people we continue to meet during this process.

"RED" E or Not...

We have the privilege of teaming up with Torrey Lomis of Silverado Systems in Folsom CA to shoot this film exclusively on the RED ONE. As the DP, I am looking forward to pushing a new format to its limits. I've been nothing but impressed with its image quality and performance. I'm a little nervous shooting a whole feature on such a new system. But I guess it keeps the blood flowing.
Here's our rough workflow:

Location Scouts

The team has been looking at warehouse space this week to finalized the last of our locations. We are looking for a space we could build a couple of different sets such as Wade's basement, the lodge scene and the crematorium. Other than these locations, we are set. The warehouses that we have found so far have tin roofs and a light rain, could end up sounding like a major down pour. Not good for trying to capture the actors dialogue.

6 weeks and counting....
