...is to take place on July 7th, with a rain date of the 14th. I'll be sure to update more frequently from then on, maybe with some pics of the motley crew. Right now I'm searching for paperwork for the cast and crew to sign...in blood.
On another note, I entered the FX channel "It's always sunny in Philadelphia" contest. Little did I know almost all of the 20 selected semifinalists entered trailers, and not a comedy short, or an entire scene from an existing show they made prior. LAME. You mean to tell me you reward people for splicing together a trailer from existing material rather than actually taking a story, making it cohesive enough to make sense in the 5 minutes allotted and actually delivering a full, albeit narrative? I have to call bullshit on that one. Stupid me, I thought the idea was to show an idea for a pilot in short form and that the idea could translate into a series. I took the entire 'series' part of the equation very seriously, and thought my idea would work for at least 5 years, or 101 episodes. My idea was entitled 101 Debacles, and each week, I would show one of those debacles in all of it's glory. Most of them are from my life, or things I tend to think about all my life. Could have been great! (just like my life, coincidentally enough) But anyway, here's the first episode if interested. Keep in mind I had exactly 48 hours to film, edit and submit this.

Good luck! Whereabouts are you shooting?
Tim and Grubber-Thanks! I can't wait.
PR-In Collingswood and Mount Laurel mostly.
Christ - I live in C-Wood!
I'll be sure to honk if I see a film crew running around (joke, I HATE when people honk and fuck up the sound). Bastards!
You got all your locations?
I have just about all of them lined up. I do need a Wawa, or something like it. That's about all that's left right now.
There's a couple smaller Wawa type places on Haddon Ave, like the Universal Deli and a few places like that. Not sure if they'd work for your movie.
I shot a few projects at Villa Barone (awesome place) as well as at the Grooveground, The TreeHouse coffee joint and Haddon Twp High. People are usually pretty cool around here for shooting stuff.
Let me know if you need anything!
Yeah, I figure one of those small places would be easier anyway. All I need is a place that contains a deli counter.
I do need something, actually. Do you know a good sound guy?
I used a couple in the past, I can see if they are still around/available.
That woiuld be cool. I'd hate to have to do the sound myself amongst all of my other jobs.
Did you try film.org? the Philly film office is pretty good about helping smaller productions, plus you can list your crew needs for free.
