1001 Positively True Stories of An Indie Filmmaker

Angelo Bell's Painfully Exhilarating Adventures in Independent Filmmaking

Today Was A Good Day For A Resurrection

January 26th, 2010 by Angelo

I’m still mostly typing one-handed since I fractured my wrist but to quote Ice Cube: today was a good day on the set of Resurrection of Serious Rogers.

On set today was Jamie Fishback, and Mercedes Manning returned to give it another, throat rested and ready to go. Despite the hovering police helicopter noise and some unruly commuters honking horns outside, we were able to shoot 11 pages of the script–in like five hours!

The icing on the cake was that the actors had rehearsed on their own prior to today. It showed. With a few little director tweaks the antagonistic chemisty I was looking for between the characters (Trixie and Agent Martin) was spot-on! Am I happy? Heck yeah.

Oh, and thanks to you, Mercedes’ Mom for loaning us your daughter and her wonderful talent. We promise to return her in good shape and with her voice still intact.

Here are some random pics from the shoot.
