Captian of Snapple Command

I have been working hard as a line producer in prep work for this film. Things are turning out alright. Got to go to SAG office and drop off papers. Sidenote- saw an interesting report on LA's own cspan channel that covers LA council meetings. This meeting was about creating a task force to better deal with paparazzi. They had John Mayer (who is extremely well spoken, smart individual), Eric Roberts (julia roberts older brother who recenty was in Dark Knight), and Milo V. (from Gilmore Girls and Heroes fame who gave a great speech but was quiet afterwards) They want to start licensing paparazzi which will scare away alot of people who go out and buy camera and just initiate themselves into this free market enterprise with no control. Which sounds great. I have seen one instance of Paparazzi out here. A Mazerati which is quite common in WLA, BH area made a right hand turn in front of me while i was stopped at the red light. After the car pulls out 3 cars quickly follow (2 were black suvs), they surround the Mazerati as best they can and when i reach the stoppped light they are at. They were taking pictures of the the car. Dont who was in it. I found it quite fascinating but also extremely foolish.

We begin filming Snappple Command tomorrow for 10 days over the next 11 days. Wish me luck and send me prayers about being responsible on set and able to put out fire that might emerge.

earthquake

I survived my first California earthquake. I was a good 30 miles or so from it but i still felt. For the damage it did and the earthquakes they've had in the past if you watched the news you would have thought it was much worse. Heres a clip from the news. We know of a couple of old pipes bursting causing small flooding on the street. Now to the streets. Well here at this store in Chino hills we see this drug store had 20 oz liter bottles fall over. Now to the valley. This little girl was on an escalator at the mall. Escalator shook and I was scared. Now back to more coverage of this earthquake. I got to watch some during my lunch time since I couldnt make calls for work.

Speaking of work I got a job as line producer for a ultra low budget film. The script is exciting and the crew is ready to roll. I have a lot of responsibility I never thought I would be working with in my first 2 months here. Sitting on my table is the SAG (screen actors guild) contracts for the film.

Last friday I was able to go to Comic Con in San Diego. I got to see updates on the marvel world. I was able to give my business card to the rep from Marvel Studios. Though he gots lots of cards and he was the only person I was able to give my card to. I missed the panel for Watchmen so went into the panel for the cartoon for spider man spectacular. Robert Englund famous for Freddy Cougar movies is part of the cast and afterwards he did a line as Freddy for me. I got to go to the panels of Wolfman starring Benecio Del Toro and Spirit with Frank miller, jamie king and the bassest mofo Samuel L. Jackson making apppearances. I was in the middle of a room in a giant room. That night i got into Spaced showing. Introduced by Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright, and Jessica Haynes the creator of the show and behind Shaun of Dead and Hot fuzz. Before they showed the film they got in a shootout with many people there who had seen the show. Talked to some interesting people there but i say over half the people had costumes ranging from a tshirt to full out costumes.
