Momentum for shooting continues to increase, especially as we see spring blooms start to peek out and realize that it won’t be long before summer like weather and foliage will allow us to shoot our outdoor scenes.

One thing that filmmakers learn is that filmmaking is essentially like solving a series of problems.  In theory, once the problems are solved, you begin to have a film in your hands.  Currently, we are working on finalizing locations.  Taking on a period film (in this case, the Twenties) means that locations need to be chronologically right.  It turns out that a few things have changed since 1927!  For a film like this, it is crucial to find places that time has forgotten and that, ideally, are located within a reasonable distance of our home base in Greenville.
