a week at the beach

or more appropriately a week at a nj beach first aid station that is serving as the soundstage for the most recent film that i am working on.

in this room that is usually reserved for bingo nights and town meetings and houses the local ambulance squad and police department, we have built 3 individual rooms that are each bigger than a small new york apartment. (with atleast a four foot clearance all around, so the fire marshal is happy)

we have tiled one room, carpetted another and built in a false stairway over hang and kitchen. it is great to see things coming together and even better to hear the men with the first aid squad oggle over our craftsmanship and attention to detail. i think they even offered us the job of redecorating the space when we are done.

the interaction of the local people and the film crew is great. it is nice to get a chance to let people see what this is all about and reveal some of the secrets of the movie world...i think i said once, it was like moths to a light...build a film set, they will come.....i say... bring them on!
