Prest hits the pool
From Director Marty Wisher: What a blast this weekend has been. We spent two full days filming the teen pool party scene. The kids were awesome. The weather was a tad cooler than we’re used to. But they were troopers about removing their jackets before the cameras started rolling.
Big kudos to Seth Billig (who plays Prest) for his willingness to be “knocked” into the pool (An icy 50-55 degrees). Of course, we had several takes. And I think the kids got a kick out of just hanging out after the filming. Munching, video games, and shooting archery with Ray.
Thanks to Sue Rawley for the majority of the photos – shot in “Sports Mode,” so we got all the action!

Marty Explaining a Scene
Well, another very productive day of shooting down. Only a couple more scenes to go and we’ll be hitting the post-production hard. Only minor hitches today, including a little early morning carpet cleaning we had to work around. Excellent work from all of our teen stars, including the Wisher kids. We’ll pick up the rest of the scenes tomorrow. Enjoy the photos posted below:

Today we continued filming. Chalane was so sweet in allowing Joey to take a role. And many thanks to his therapist getting him prepared for the part. “Jake. Max. Bye-bye.”
Since one of the scenes shot today was a dinner scene at character Jake’s home, Marty thought she’d cook enough for everyone at the set. Sounds simple enough. Have to feed them anyway.
So, as the crew is running around adjusting lights, props, etc. Someone asks “What’s that burning smell?”
From Marty – “I have no idea how it happened! I’ve boiled water and pasta before (Chalane begs to differ). It was a huge pot. The kind to feed an army. And – oh maybe I put 5 or 6 packages of noodles in. But it certainly should not have turned black and had smoke curls billowing out of it. For those who don’t believe me, it will end up in one of the scenes as Paul (who plays Joe) walks in, pulls the noodles up- dark charcoal side to the camera and ad-libs, “I guess we’ll be ordering take out tonight”
Good thing that the chocolate cake was from the Publix bakery.

Director Marty Wisher
Light resumed shooting on Sunday, January 4th, back on set at Mr. Tim’s house for everything we didn’t get shot the last time. A lot of hard work and a little bit of fun, as usual. A special thank you to Director Marty Wisher and Susan Rawley (also known as Danny’s mom) for the photos, since producer Paul Rose was busy with his sister’s wedding in Fort Lauderdale and couldn’t make it.

Shooting the Shooter
More shooting for Light yesterday. We spent about 10 hours, in and about Mr. Tim’s house. Excellent work, as usual, from our veteran teens, Christian Kilian & Danny Rawley, and Rick Michaels proved why he got so much work over in Miami. Great work also from the indomitable Michael Bey (NO, not THAT Michael Bay), his son, Steven Ruiz-Bey, UFTA member Rob Beauchesne & Keegan Shayne. We accomplished quite a bit. We’re back the first week of the new year.

Bo Peep & Mrs. Claus pose with Santa
Our week started on Tuesday with our performance of “For Whom The Southern Belle Tolls” and “Off The Tracks” improv at the Foulds Theatre with the OssLin Agency folks. Then Thursday night, Starlight did a quick showcase for the European Business Council at the International Holiday Fair in downtown Cape Coral. Then Friday and Saturday, we promoted Starlight at both the International Holiday Fair and the Comcast Holiday Festival of Lights (just one street over), both in downtown Cape Coral. We finished the week by again joining OssLin Agency on the Foulds Theatre stage, debuting our Christmas murder mystery, “A Holiday Recipe for Murder,” followed by the kids performing “Ebony Scrooge,” directed by OssLin’s Aaron Jackson, from NBC’s California Dreams. This week, we’ll be performing “A Holiday Recipe for Murder” for the fine residents, families and staff of Manor Care in Fort Myers. Check out some of our other photos below.

Starlight Productions will be debuting their first Christmas/holiday-themed comedy murder mystery, “A Holiday Recipe For Murder,” Sunday, December 7th, at 3pm at The Foulds Theatre.
The North Pole is being wiped out by a mysterious flu created by evil mastermind Claude Von Streudel. As Santa’s top elf, Elvin, works on a cure to save them, Mrs. Claus depends upon replacements sent from the North Star employment agency to save Christmas and stop Von Streudel’s plan to take over the holiday and the world.
In addition, some of the fine folks from the OssLin Agency will be joining us on stage, performing their show, “Ebony,” immediately after. All this for a mere $15/person.
We invite you to come out and enjoy an afternoon of holiday arts entertainment before things get too busy this December!
The Foulds Theatre is located in the Alliance of the Arts building at 10099 McGregor Blvd, behind the Midpoint Bridge and across from the YMCA in Fort Myers.
