It’s a wrap! The director declares her brain a 24 hour no thinking zone!
…with this incredible man-made lake.
…and hot…
And it really is desert…
Or you can sleep outside.
Full moon over the corral as the heat starts to fade.
…or without!
…with friends…
You can sleep in the converted stables…
…and dogs.
…and sweet cats…
…with friendly horses…
It really is a ranch…
Spike himself (!) of Spike’s Roughout Ranch.
…late at night!
…at night…
They let us film in their depot…
Great location, really nice people.
Coach America was amazing!
I liked the bus…
It got really late…
On the bus with Tina D’Marco.
It’s okay, the bus wasn’t really moving.
Hail to the bus driver, bus driver, bus driver…
We wrapped the windows in black fabric to make lighting magic.
The Bus
Austin Michael and Tina D’Marco wait.
Dinner…
The Bus Crew.
Austin, Anastasia, Ally, and Lendon.
Coach America gave us a whole room to set up in…
…choosing costumes…
Ally Fainberg (aka Chain Girl).
My motley bus crew…
Pierre Dulat, one of the nicest people in the world.
Frankie, Tina, Deborah giving directions to JK.
Rhett takes craft services seriously.
Coffee’s good. View’s breathtaking.
Craft Services: location location location.
What does six in the morning light look like?
Anastasia Narinsky
Chris figured it out.
And who’s that man in my bathroom?
How do you film in a bathroom with mirrors on all sides?
Doug’s amazing house – the most civilized place we filmed by far.
Beautiful Lysa – the best producer, just the best.
Raffi sets up his moon shot.
Full moon over Barstow… Raffi got a great shot of it rising as the sky.
Rhett… PA or Pirate of the Caribbean?
…and ranch cats.
Frankie in the shade…
Shade!
Figuring out the shots…
The gorgeous lanai at Spike’s Roughout Ranch.
Tina D’Marco, Deborah Geffner, Perry Smith.
Spike’s Roughout Ranch with the man-made lake in the middle of the desert.
Chris imagines what it would be like to be an actor.
“Barstow, man.”
Chris Clifford figures out “how we’ll do it.”
Sun sets over the train tracks… Almost time to film…
Scouting…
See how the train leaned away from Raffi so it wouldn’t hit him?
Raffi and his camera…
This is a good track.
…but not on this track. Jesse says hello from Barstow!
Trains really run here…
We found spikes!
The train tracks! At last!
My intrepid assistant director, Jesse.
…we didn’t stop to eat at Peggy Sue’s diner.
…not much farther…
The ride out to Barstow…
… everything.
Jen and her kitty Katya (caught ya?) who liked everything!
Rehearsing…
I may be going crazy…
Perry brings me invisible cake.
This is it!
I think I have the next setup!
In Jen’s apartment wondering how all this will work.
The “hospital room” before the equipment got there.
Claire and Jason – Happier Times!
We got to eat it at the end!
