behind the scenes

Jerry was just perusing this month’s issue of Studio Monthly, and check out who he spotted on page 16.  FLF Key Grip Matty Blum!   

It’s an absolutely beautiful day in Reno and here at FLF we’re looking forward to a long weekend!  

In the meantime, I just thought I’d post this article from Plumas County News about the short film “The Sierra.”  Our horse wrangler for the film, Lloyd Cooper, is based in Quincy CA, and this article takes a fun look at the production from his perspective and experience working on it.

By the way, the “frantic call” is pretty accurate!  72 hours before production on “The Sierra” began, our original horse wrangler backed out.  It was a producer’s nightmare… horses were featured in nearly every shot of the film, and suddenly we found ourselves with none!  

I still owe Lloyd Cooper a debt of gratitude for coming through the way he did - and on 36 hours notice!  It was amazing.  He rolled up to Lake Tahoe in the middle of the night, the day before shooting began, set up his own temporary corral and made sure we had everything we needed…  right down to the black saddle (with silver hardware) for the hero, John.  

Thanks Lloyd, Alan & Fort Hope!
