Over at our house, we've been making a movie.
No, really.
It's hard work. Plus when you're finished, you have to fill all the holes.
The film, called "Strong Love," is scary and romantic. The black & white photos are stills from the film, which stars Jeff Elam and Karen Zumsteg (both pictured) and is directed by my husband, John Sandel.
This week, we shot at
Mountain View Cemetery and Mausoleum in Altadena. I love this place. Really. I know it's a cemetery, but wow.
If you've got to die, you want folks to put you here.
This door is my favorite thing in the Mausoleum. And upstairs, there's a rooftop crypt I like.
We also shot out on the grounds. Left to right:
Elvis Metcalf, Assistant Director; Marilyn Morris, Sound Designer; John Sandel, Director;
Wael Shukha, Director of Photography (here with his Steadicam rig); Glen Silva, Assistant Camera (his site's not finished but
you gotta love his url), and
Rosemary Stevens, who is, as we say in the business, "talent."
Our crew consisted of seasoned pros as well as newbies, all of whom were amazing to work with, a supportive and professional group. Also thanks to Andrew Boyle, Eric Michael Kochmer, Greg Bell, Whit Spurgeon, and Chris Frederick. You guys made it a wonderful day.
