For those of you who've been keeping tabs on me with this blog and the Wandering Men website, you might recall a few veiled hints at some of the stuff that I've been working on over at The Studio. Well, the secret (or at least one of them) is finally out.
Yea, I know you can't read the whole article unless you're a subscriber (which stinks) but you should be able to get the drift. If not, then you need go no further than The Studio's website to piece together the puzzle.
One of the really cool things is that one of my boys was selected to play the role lead for this pilot show and so far, the general consensus is that he's doing really well. I have to say that I'm very, very proud of him, because the shooting schedule has been brutal, and I should know, as I'm Assistant Director on the project. This has been such an uber cool and rewarding project so far, however, and I'm learning a ton of new things every single day, as are we all, I think!
And to answer the questions that I know you're thinking, no, I did not write the script - it was written by Ladd Ehlinger Jr., the fellow directing the shoot. Ladd has several other projects under his belt and you can find out all about him on his website, but I would think that his most notable work to date is Flatland: the Film. I have to say that it has been a very neat experience working with him on this project.

This is us, shooting some of Scene 6. My son, who plays Jonah, is in the center, wearing the red jacket.
Here we are shooting some stuff for a Montage scene where we'll have kids hiking through the woods at the camp.
A wide shot of the location: it's perfect EXCEPT for all of the planes, trains, and automobiles that we have to deal with - LITERALLY!
