Aaaaand We're Back

Shooting resumes this Sunday at 8am. We pussy-footed around and now we can't use the cabin until mid-January. It's been decorated for Christmas. According to local author Mike Muething:

Camp Muething is a festive holiday wonderland featuring 3 running trains
a functioning set of cable cars and an awe inspiring 12 foot winter solstice
tree. While this environment truly inspires joy I do not think it is
conducive to a Columbo episode. Camp Muething will return to it's cabiny
self the second week of January. Until then please join my family and I in
having a wonderful Rama-hana-kwanz-mas.

So instead we are going to shoot the "post-restaurant pre-murder" scene. This involves our leading lady -- Danielle Muething as Lily Lasanka. Danielle is the only for-real actor on the project. She's going to look out of place.

I've started reading some books on how you are really supposed to make a film. We aren't far off the mark. It turns out this was a pretty good choice for a first film project, except for two things:

1. It's pretty long
2. It's copyrighted so we probably can't just throw it on the web

If you want to do this for a living, I highly recommend the book From Reel to Deal.
