Pennsylvania

I'm in PA. It's dark & rainy. The cab of the truck is leaking. Can't wait to be home.

BTW, Jeff Gaumer (Camera Operator & 1st AC to the stars) is kinda a god. And he drives a mean grip truck.

For reals.

CHEATING DEATH wrapped

Cheating Death, Shani Patel's Short Film, has wrapped principal photography in Iowa City, IA.

FUNNY STORY:
Man Called Zombie while ordering food, punched twice in face.

So, there were 2 Zombie Films shooting in Iowa City while we were their: our film, and "Collapse", an indie feature. Our Huge Zombie Ext. Scene was rained out, so our Zombies left. The article is about one of OUR zombies. Oooops.
Here's some photos:
