Our final shoot of the summer went off relatively painlessly — good thing, too, because we didn’t have much time for things to go wrong.  We had a script going in, but we more or less threw it out the window, giving actors Dylan Bandy and Mike Lavoie free rein to improvise about space aliens and Manchurian fishing villages and murdering Tom Cruise.  (In fact, there was a lot about murdering Tom Cruise …)

Oh, that reminds me — Dylan (Sublet, Moving Pictures) and Mike (Captivated, The Proposal, etc.) are in this one!  We haven’t gotten around to a formal cast announcement yet, mostly because we didn’t know what the heck we were doing until we were doing it, so without further ado, the formal cast announcement!  (Um, see above.)

Also joining us: DP Giuseppe Pugliese, who thus ties Derek Van Gorder for the dubious honor of “most 12in12 films shot”; sound man Chad Sonenberg, helping us out for the seventh time (what’s wrong with that guy?); stalwart on-set go-getters Sumi Lee, Madelyne Camera, and Clint Byrne; and new initiates Gwyneth Connell and Nancy Hughes.  A merry band, an enjoyable shoot, a fairly controllable location — it was a low-key way to wrap up what has been, at times, an overwhelming project.  But this is no time for sentimentality!  (Tomorrow is the time for sentimentality.)  For now, I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves.

“The Jogger” will be posted Friday, August 28th. Yes, that’s tomorrow. Shut up.

All loaded up for the day's shoot.  Dylan looks skeptical.  Can't imagine why.

Mike yawns.  Art has seen it all.

Mike limbers up for a long day of lying in bed. (Art Chan was BORN limber.)
