Shooting - Day One, part one

Hi, it's me, Shannon. The Producer. I apologize for not getting these blog posts up sooner, but I am happy to be able to present a slice of our production process for your review, and hopefully amusement. I'd love to go back and detail some of the pre-production process at some point, but I thought that, for now, I'd skip right to the filming. I should also begin by stating for the record that we don't have photos from every location or day, but I will try to post whatever I have that is relevant.

The script had been fine-tuned, the actors were cast, the costumes were selected, the gear had been obtained, the table read had been.. read. It was time.

Our first week of shooting, which began on July 16, all took place at Trafalga. For those not from the Provo/Orem area, Trafalga is a "fun center" located just off of I-15 in Orem. Trafalga has batting cages, go-karts, an arcade, and (clearly the most important) two miniature golf courses.

We started the day with some of Bryce's scenes. Bryce is played by William C. Stewart. William, in addition to being a really great comedic actor, was, in his off-acting times, an incredible Production Assistant. Bryce asking Jeff if the club he has is regulation is one of my favorite scenes in the movie.
