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:

It Worked for E.T….
Monday, January 19th, 2009
From Director Marty Wisher: Today was such a fun day on the set. A bit too cold for us Floridians though (anything under 70 is deemed freezing).
But since we continue today’s scene in a few weeks the actors had to dress for our usually delightful warm weather. They were such pros at adjusting to all the necessary script changes (location change, character change, script change – but that’s show biz!)
Mitch (who plays CD) gave us one of our best bloopers today. The scene opens in the middle of a conversation. The conversation has the characters of Will & Kevin arguing over who is the hottest assistant in Doctor Who (they’ll also reference some other of my faves – Stargate: Atlantis, Primeval, and Lost) Anyway, for those who don’t know Dr. Who (shame on you) the choice is between the characters Rose and Martha.
Well, while rehearsing the scene, Mitch says “Martha. That’s a name for old ladies!”
I slowly removed my sunglasses and stated “You know that Marty is my nickname. Right? Short for Martha…” He went pale. The kids burst into laughter. Mitch buries his head in his arms.
Tim (Director of Photography) pipes up, “You are so not being asked to do the sequel.”
We all look at Tim and realize the camera was on the whole time. Mitch turns beet red and the laughter continues.
Can’t wait to see what happens at the next shoot.
Thanks to Chris Terrill at Oasis High School for allowing us to borrow some school-logo-ed items for the shoot. And thanks to Sue Rawley for the photos.

Friday, January 16th, 2009Lucas & Jake confide in Mr. T.

Cooking Spaghetti
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009
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.
Finishing Up At Mr. Tim's

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.
