Independent film making could not succeed without the help and support of our community...
We want to thank our location providers. Without them, we would not have a film!
George Jan, owner of STOP 'N SHOP at 6500 Folsom Blvd. has been amazing! As fate would have it, he was about to remodel his store when I approached him and asked to film there. George and cousin Lucky were fabulous hosts to our cast and crew. George even stepped in as an extra! We love you guys!!

locations are characters too ...
Our Locations team Amy Lawrence and Alison Wells had their work cut for them. We needed two houses.
Thank you to Starr Bachman for opening her home to our filming crew.
It's the perfect Ida Short home!!
Sometimes scheduling locations can turn into a juggling act, and lining up dates can present a challenge. When one location didn't work out, crew member Rick Gonzales said, "Let's film at my house."
He even had coffee ready!!

PROPS....
BIG thanks to Keith Richardson, who provided props and wardrobe for our film. Hand delivered with instructions!

One of our characters is a very special prop. Michelle Barbaria, from Access Studios sacrificed her prized purse for our film. When the purse didn't work out... with only hours to spare before our first shoot... Michelle went home and got another one!
The new purse worked out perfectly! THANKS MICHELLE!!!
