Celebrating the Midpoint of Production With a Fine Dinner


Image by Lelo Laurenzo


The wine flowed and so did blood, tears and goulash.
We shot fast fast, I'm amazed that Lelo and Kim were able to catch what they did.
The sheer incompatibility of the family members in the story really surfaces in this scene.
The dinner marks the turning point from mere post-apocalyptic dysfunction to downright Greek tragedy.
The amazing roast-pig is the creation of the talented Hiroe Gotto who spent most of the previous night giving it the finishing touches.
The bridal makeup and hair on Stephanie DeLatour were done by Amanda Ryan and it was Mia Bauman who had the pleasure of messing up James Allerdyce yet again.
On the right is Catriona Rubenis-Stevens who gave a stellar performance as Lil'.

Finally "Hunter" In All His Glory!


Image by Kimberly Boldrini

Hunter's costumes took the longest to design. We had been through at least five "drafts" until we settled on this amalgam of wild-man-hero elements from different cultures.
Lee endured the weight and awkwardness of his additional accessories gracefully. They included 4 amazing dead animal props completed just in time by Hiroe Gotto and Cristina Atkins.
The dog was an intruder, though now we're considering casting her.

Toby and Lee Working the Bath Scene


Image by Lelo Lourenzo

It was a really special shoot. No storyboard. We relied on the knowledge and rapport we established over the last few shoots. We worked slower, making decisions as we went along.
We may have just found our modus operandi for this bastard child of film and comics. At least for now...
