Yesterday’s location was an abandoned furniture store in one of LA’s many overbuilt suburbs – our director, after surveying the half empty shopping mall and the few customers circling the vast parking lot like vultures, referred to the place as ‘one exit too far’.
Although the actual store which housed our set was really big, there [...]
The enemy of film crews who roll just about everything we have on wheeled carts is sand. Deep soft sand makes it impossible to use the wheel (which is a nifty invention) and means that we have to pick up everything and carry it.
Many of the lights we use aren’t all that heavy, but have [...]
I thought I had Monday off, but I got an early morning call to come in and cover someone who had called in sick. Unexpected work is my favorite reason to be pulled out of a dead sleep at 7 am.

Spotted on Fairfax Ave just north of 6th St.
I’m glad I voted early – the lines at my polling place are unbelievable.
For the three of you who’ve been living in a cave for the past few months, tomorrow we have an election. Not just any election, but the most annoying, highest media hysteria and pundit-rich election that I can remember.
Every time I turn on the television or the radio, a barrage of scare-tactic ads burst forth [...]
