Family Picture Day

Less than two weeks out, the cast spent the day taking their family pictures to be used in the set design and promotional material for the film. First we headed out to Griffith park and got the traditional family park outing. The June gloom here in Los Angeles provided a nice overcast for the photos. We got group and individual photos of all the cast members in the wooded and picnic areas around Griffith, and had a lot of fun joking around with setups before moving on to the next location and wardrobe change.

Bringing the family out to California, we headed up to a close scenic location near the Hollywood sign. Joining up with several other guest of L.A. as we took photos in front of the sign and with the L.A. reservoir. To my surprise the location was new to some of our actors, and now they have a spot to bring their real family when they come to visit.

Finally on the final wardrobe change the family headed to Universal Studios City Walk. Here we got photos in front of the big sign and Globe out in front of the park. Then to end the day we all sat down as a family and has some great Italian food, and took a few more pictures. The cast was very creative in their photo choices, and had some great facial expressions for the different scenarios we came up with on the fly. I can already tell that after several weeks of rehearsals they are really getting to know one another.


I can't wait until June 24th when the production really gets to come alive. Locations and set design are on schedule, and our crew is ready to go. Check back during production week for on-set reports and daily photos. Thank again to our wonderful cast. You guys are great. And a big thanks to Kathrynn for helping with the driving. See everyone soon.
