Behind the Scenes Part 3

A friendly game of chess is played between the boys while awaiting to be called to the set. This chess board and the pieces were made by my grandfather (on my mother's side) He made many remarkable pieces that sold for hefty sums in Alaskan Art Galleries. We are using many of his pieces that he left to us in the film.

A true daughter of virtue, Audrey waiting her turn on the set.

Okay Derek, we're just about ready...

Sorry Derek, it wasn't quite right...

Quiet on the set! Take 5,987!

It's all in jest. I have to note how much I appreciate the Moreland family's flexibility and willingness to dedicate their time and resources to this project. Many thanks go to them.

I heard what you said!

Reviewing the script.

Mr. Moreland helped in a multitude of ways with every spare moment he had outside of playing a major role in the film. Here he helps Gator and Audrey review their lines.

Jack and Jeff testing the tracks and undoubtedly scheming up other uses for the camera dolly.

Mr. Rivera was an ever present source of joy, enthusiasm and laughter no matter what circumstances arose.

Audrey was a delight to work with and is an excellent example of femininity in our film.
