To Build A Mine

The first week of set construction has come to a close!  The crew has been hard at work trying to build the most realistic cave set possible!  The Crew took a trip to Gold Country earlier in the week and got the chance to come face-to-face with some honest-to-goodness mines from the late 1800's!  We spent some time inside the "Big Haul" as well as the "Gold Gulch" mine!  The folks at the Gold Gulch Museum in Coarsegold really helped us out with tons of useful information and even arranged for our whole crew to go 150ft into a cave!  More on all that to come later!  Also be sure to check out the DVD when it is released for all the fantastic behind-the-scenes info on the making of!  So set building is going great, all the hard work of the design team is really paying off!  We will have pictures to update with early next week.

Fiona and I have been hard at work breaking down the script and planning all the awesome stuff to go into the film!  I have to say we're both pretty excited and cannot wait to share with the rest of the crew - we think they'll be excited as well! Fiona is also acting as our UPM & Script Supervisor for this project!  She's doing an outstanding job and we're having a lot of fun getting all the details lined up for production!  She's a natural!  There will be more on this process later on.

The crew is in great spirits as things are coming together and we can't wait to get on set!
