7-28-08 Notes From Jay Schillinger

Monday, July 28^th: The morning began with some good news. Over the weekend our director (Danny Wilson), UPM (Michelle Hammond) and Crew member Peyton Myrick (who might just be the funniest man I know) found a very important location for our movie – a night club. In the script it’s called The Black Dove. And it’s important because we shoot there for almost an entire week. Well, these poor three had to hit all the Green Bay bars over the weekend to find just the right one. Apparently, once Danny set foot in this top secret location (in downtown Green Bay), he knew it was the one. And the owner (I’ll get his name shortly) was more than amenable. Which is great! And we’ll also be using an apartment right above for another scene! The rest of day consisted of setting up our production offices (fax machines, copiers, phone lines, etc.) and meetings. I’m off tomorrow to scout out a few more locations. You can almost feel the energy rising daily, can’t you? Oh, one more thing. It’s really great to see all the people coming into Pulse (daily) to sign on for extras and/or crew members. Not that I’m surprised – as I knew the city would embrace this film – it’s just great to see. Until tomorrow…
