Started the morning out by going over to Blake’s place. He cooked us all some mean omlettes. His daughter Lilly is 2 years old I think. She’s adorable. She liked it when I ate a banana and acted like a monkey. What a guy. Went out and did the dialogue with Vladmir. Either my new […]

Shooting Day 12: Warehoused
September 24th, 2007 · No Comments
Drove to the location with Ray, Huyen, and Minh. Learned that there are Vietnamese dialects and that Northern Vietnam isn’t as upfront as Southern Vietnam. The location is a furniture warehouse. We had to wait around until 4pm to start the buildup to the fight. Did a little bit of action with Ray and Randal, […]

I drove out to Raleigh. Got to the kung fu school and found that Ray and Brian were having some difficulty getting their fight scene done. Ray busted his nose and had 2 huge bruises. Micah gave me control over the camera and the three of us went to work. It’s all a blur now, […]

Did some dialogue with Brian, and then did the dialogue scene with Huyen. Oh… my… god… I’ve never had this […]

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 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 […]
