From Micah’s we drove out to the metal scrap yard to pick up a scene. Left there and went to the studio where I anxiously awaited Tyler’s arrival. She came, and I was ecstatic. We went to Mexican food, then hung around the studio for a while. Blake drove me and Tyler to a hotel […]

Shooting Day 8: Local News
September 20th, 2007 · No Comments
Today was chill. Didn’t do anything until 3pm when a news reporter came in. Micah came into the holding room and asked me and Ray to do some stunts for the camera. I threw some pants on and did a back suicide, Ray did a front suicide. I was lazy so I didn’t put on […]

Shooting Day 7: Clubbing
September 19th, 2007 · No Comments
Today was at Jabs Ultrabar. It’s a hip hop club. Blake says that it has the second highest alcohol sales in the city, which is amazing considering how much liquor there is ’round these parts. Did some dialogue with Brian, and then did the dialogue scene with Huyen. Oh… my… god… I’ve never had this […]

Shooting Day 6: Getting Naked
September 18th, 2007 · No Comments
Today was entirely comprised of shooting at the strip club. Micah took me over to Blake’s place where we met up with Jesse. I drove with Jesse to Winston-Salem where the club was located. Jesse’s a chill guy who reminds me of Ricky from Trailer Park Boys, except thinner and way more responsible. Arrived at […]

Shooting Day 4: Kung Fu Schooling
September 16th, 2007 · No Comments
Spent the whole day at the kung fu school doing dialog scenes, training scenes, and fight scenes. Did a couple new stunts. One where I fly over a wall, land on some kicking bags, and HK spin off them, and another where I jump back and land on some pilates balls. Blue ones. Yes blue […]

Let The Shooting Begin
September 16th, 2007 · No Comments
We started shooting Dogs of Chinatown on Thursday September 13th. Day one of shooting was one of those easy days of production. Micah and Eric ran around Greensboro and took care of the scenes where other actors were not needed. A good time for Micah and Eric to get to know one another both professionally […]

Shooting Day 3: Green Day
September 15th, 2007 · No Comments
Most of the beginning of the day was in front of the green screen where Huyen runs in after I do some action. The background’s gonna be this church, which should be pretty rocking. Ate at a vegetarian place called Boba House (sounds so generic being from the Bay Area where there’s more boba than […]

Shooting Day 2: Reign On Me
September 14th, 2007 · No Comments
Went out to an abandoned metal scrapyard … with no metal, and shot a scene with Patrick. Guy was awesome, from New Jersey. I got to point a gun around like a little kid, all the while watching the road and hiding whenever a cop drove by. Everyone kept telling me to chill out. Not […]

Day 1 Of Shooting
September 13th, 2007 · No Comments
Woke up at 10am after a weird dream involving Tyler (and oddly enough she had a similar one about me) and we head over to the studio, which is basically a video store converted into a green screen room. The only videos they have there are Asian flicks. The rest of the crew shows up […]
