...Liquor in the rear
The fun begins! WHOOO HOOOO!
So we are filming this Saturday at an (or is it “a”) historical landmark building. We are turning it into a fictional “specialty” bar for the film. Our cast is ready to get to work.
The great news is that we have a returning actor from our previous film PREDATORS FROM BEYOND NEPTUNE working on our first day. That’s a great way to start a shoot with familiar faces and new folk. The 4 main leads have never worked with us but it’s clear we are all on the same page. Our productions have always been small crews with everyone pitching in to do a little of everything. These new folk are welcome addition to our production family. As usual the “Boozinator” will be on hand for all to enjoy. Every shoot I have done with this director we have had apple martini’s on tap. In no way do I support overindulgence and driving. So if anyone drinks its at their own risk. I wash my hands of anyone’s fate. With that being said BOOZE and WORK go great together! That boozebucket will carry thru to the opening of the film. We make some sort of silly sparkletts water bottle booze dispenser for every shoot. I should save these things but… It’s fun to make a new one for each film. Nothing better than making movies and not remembering anything the next day.
Its what I call The Dick Van-Dyke method.
Not only do I have the pleasure of producing this film I seem to have been wrangled into playing a barfly. (no stretch there) Fun fun fun I tells ya!

Sounds like you make work alot of fun!
I agree drinking and working (not driving) does work well in the creative sector.
Where oh where will you find the motivation for your cameo barfly appearance? :)
Yes it was. The pulled out the old railroad ties that have been buried under the asphalt a few years back. They were great looking old, gnarled grizzly things. I saw a pile od them at anawalt lumber for sale as some sort of wood to be used for landscaping. The tracks used to be right down the middle of santa monica. and then by the side of the road in beverly hills. The spot that now sports the two level metered parking. Its amazing these things went away! we could use the same route and the same type of service.
