Day 24 (More Photos)

Just all sorts of beautiful photos from this shoot! (The following were taken on a very high tech camera)

Director and Heroines


Blanche - wait up!


Okay... so you're obviously NOT totally thrilled that your younger sister is going to prom with a total jerk when you haven't been asked...


Director Josh hard at work

Anyone know which saint this might be?


Lovely extras

Another silly cast picture


Randomly, I thought this was a funny picture...

Day 24 - March 30th 2010

I cannot tell you how weird it is to be half the country away from the film I'm supposed to be directing... I am so thankful that I have so many capable people back on set to make sure everything works out! Still, it's very odd to have my closest contact be through video chat, and limited at that. I'm probably just as excited as any of you to see pictures from filming! They got some good ones from the St. Catherine's shoots today, and I am delighted to share the first batch with you!

Haven't had a chance to be an extra, but want to? Don't worry, we still have two days of filming this week that we need extras for! Especially guys! So if you're in the Mpls/St. Paul area and are free on Thursday the 1st of April, or Saturday the 3rd, then drop us a line at theshadowofthebear [at] ymail [dot] com!!!

More pictures coming soon! Stay tuned!

Fan Art

While I, like the rest of you, wait to hear today's filming news from Minnesota (and I hear they could use some urgant prayers as they try to track down a missing cast member!) I thought I would upload the fan graphic art I've recieved from you all so far!

Feel free to repost these images on your own blogs or on forums, but do credit the artists and please include a link back to this blog!

Have art of your own to share? Send it to theshadowofthebear [at] ymail [dot] com under the subject heading of "SOTB Fan Graphic Art."
