Shooting Day One: Joshua Tree


(DP Ben Koppin getting a close shot with actress Laura Monaco)

Wow!!! What an insane adventure we had in the high desert yesterday. Everyone involved did a fantastic job, and although hot with a sun beating down, the desert cooperated very nicely with us (except for a desert dog that chased two of our cars trying to herd them and bite their tires).

I don’t want to say too much about what’s going on in these images, because I don’t want to give anything away, but you can tell there was a lot of hard work and fun to be had.

A BIG THANKS to cast and crew for an excellent first day shooting!
