I lost the game against Stan "The Man" Lee!

I always liked the Hulk. I've stuck with him through Jarella and the Microverse, his journey back and fighting Rocket Racoons, and space clowns. Then the U-foes were a horrible knock off of the Fantastic Four, except they are VILLAINS! Did someone pitch it to you with so much conviction, because he was a huge fan of the Fantastic Four growing up, and thinks it's a dream come true to work with Stan Lee;  so you had to run with his sincerity?

Or did you convinced yourself that the big guy, Ironclad was the Thing, but he's made of ice!
And Vector was the leader of the team, Kinda like Reed Richards; brilliant guy before turning into a Super Person
Reed Richards was a SUPERHERO, and Vector was a SUPERVILLAIN. the argument is: U-FOES ARE EXACTLY LIKE THE FANTASTIC FOUR, so we cannot defer away from the supposition.

  Vector has a sucky superpower, he can deflect things... Kinda like Reed Richards, but they use it to their advantage and make it the most useful of the team. Reed Richards can wrap himself around the Hulk to keep him bound long enough to calm him down and help the Super Heroes. Vector has almost defeated the Hulk singlehandedly, (<----is that word a Stan Leeism? it's not in the spell check...) but he forgot one thing: The madder the Hulk gets; the STRONGER HE GETS! But Vector is a SUPER VILLAIN,  He traps the Hulk long enough to unveil his master plan while the Hulk is getting stronger by the millisecond.

Vapor is Vector's wife, she can turn into vapors, (That's original... must have took hours of meditation to come up with that!) She's almost invisible, but not quite. To compensate,  she can turn into deadly poisons and kill you... nice trade off Stan! Her super powers are deadly! ...but Dude, you can still see her and fan her away, or battle her on a windy day. However if I'm in an air tight room with no escape THAN VAPOR WINS! but in all other situations, I can use a pizza box to push her away...


And then there's Johnny:  no wait... Jimmy! Well he's like the Human Torch, except he's made of X-RAYS! yeah so it makes as much sense that he can fly just because the Human Torch is a guy made of Fire and he can fly! I hope I never see campfire attacks

Scoudouc News Eye Witness.

"We just lit a campfire and these fireballs attacked my girlfriend! I wish fire didn't just randomly fly!"

Hello! fire doesn't randomly fly! Even if there is a human inside who can withstand extreme heat; what manner of propulsion is making him fly? Same as X-Ray. Do I have to look out for random X-rays when I go to the airport? ...Oh yeah I might. but they were not FLYING AT ME!

SNEWitness:  I usually have to walk to it,escorted by a busty blond in a security suit, and the 6'5 tubby guy. So you decide it's not a good idea to say: I hope I require a strip search! and that she would take you up on it. With his presence, you don't say it; because he might take you up on it!


So I stuck through the U-Foes. Actually no... I went backwards. I sought out back issues. Why did he go into outer space? He killed Glen Talbot? No way! But he really sacrificed himself to save Betty. Banner/Hulk got to see Talbot die and probably blames himself for the destruction he caused,.but Hulk was just trying to save Betty too. Don't blame yourself Hulk.

In the old series Hulk spoke sporadically "Hulk SMASH" "The madder the Hulk gets: the STRONGER he gets", and "Puny humans"

SNEWitness: "Puny Human was funny to me because Banner/Hulk is human. He's a monster of a human, and green; but still human. But the Hulk really says:, I'm the one who saves your puny ass from disasters, alien invasions, monsters from the depth of the sea, EVERYTHING YOU'RE SLIGHTLY PARANOID OF !   
The Hulk loves you. the madder he gets, the more he's trying to save you! In the 2008 movie, would I.as the Hulk, stand in front of a burning Helicopter crash, to save Liv Tyler playing Betty Ross? I'll buy that....Even if the CGI wasn't great (which By the way, it was awesome!) I still think the Hulk out-acted William Hurt as General Ross. with the stare back. Without words, he said: "I love your daughter sir, I know you don't like me now, but I would never hurt your daughter, I would crack the world into two pieces with my fists. I would kill any abomination you throw at me" (guess what Hulk? he does!!!! Introduced very well by Tim Roth.)

I love the Hulk, and the Hulk loves me back. I love him so much I would like Betty Ross to come back. I would sent him to Hades. He has seen the future. In 2099 the Hulk will reign supreme! A tyrant! The evil forces are recruiting him now. Lady Death herself is at first uninterested. but later likes the Hulk. He can be the leader of destruction, he can give her bigger megadeath tributes than Thanos and he doesn't need an Infinity Gauntlet! By then Thanos will be so jealous! The battleground will be huge in the underworld! A showdown of Ungodly proportions! Hulk wins... but he's been burned twice. Jarella died and Caeira died... He's not interested in another doomed relationship. (I'm such a puny human!) Thanos, relieved the Hulk is not pursuing his longtime woo, offers him a gift
Betty Ross....

SNEWitness. Upon researching the cause of her death  the last blurb on the page is: 

However after a brief period were Bruce was being tortured by Nightmare, Betty was apparently resurrected (apparently? you mocking me for not keeping current, you puny, Marvel web content guy Supergeek? don't make me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry. lol).

So the Marvel Universe is set and I didn't need to catch Stan Lee's attention. He answered my wishes before they were even in my head.

But if you kill Betty again, she would not be in Limbo or Hell, she would be in magical garden, with Caeira and Jarella.  Beta Ray Bill is holding on to them near Asgard. Hulk will have to shake the walls of Valhalla again... Then Lady Death intervenes and MY HULK STORY IS plausible!

I lost the game against Stan Lee, He dared me to be a fan and I've retained stories of the Hulk more than Stan Lee does! I reminded myself it was stupid to accept a man can fly while on fire... but because Stan Lee told the story, it didn't matter.  When Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan, we accept she believed in another faith or religion. Why for the Love of God can't we accept the real message? there are good people who believe in other religions and you should not persecute them for it.   

Hulk's message was about Love, not Rage. I got that. So if my Jesus is 8 feet tall and has green skin, so be it.

Conspiracy nights

November 4th, 2009. I know the post has a time posted, but I was checking if I knew this at this point. See I'm stoned now, drinking the last of my Screech. On my last 10$ until Friday, owing my landlord this month's rent (due last weekend) with cut off phone services, eating peanut butter from a jar so I'll have something somewhat "solid".... yet here's the punch line, I'm laughing my ass off! In my hazed behavior now, the most likely scenario, is now the most unlikely. Hence known as conspiracy night since Blood Shed. I smoked weed like maybe once a year before Blood Shed. But since I got to know Pierre Huard, I'm very fortunate when he comes by at least twice a month.
Reggie's special tick was that he believed in conspiracies in Blood Shed and was a druggie. Since then it has been my special code on the Internet to let people know I'm stoned.

It's two days before Silverwave. Pierre arrives with his adorable daughter Julie. She's so used to seeing me, I'm practically an uncle. I'm quite sober, it's only 12:30pm. Let's forget he's 2 hours late because his cute daughter is with him. However the story should have started the night before. Where we saw an amazing three song show by Bruce Legrow's band (I keep forgetting the name... sorry Bruce!). Yes I did get high last night too.... but I witnessed Pierre totally manage the show! It was flawless! He sensed their disappointment about playing reasonably crowded gigs on Mondays, and playing in a clothing store on a very quiet and subdued Tuesday! with no gate fees!... So I really wanted to ask him about it. Is he managing them? but I don't discuss "the biz" in front of his daughter. He got to know the singer, he's from where Pierre grew up! I still think the drummer kicked his drum stand to get out sooner, making the right side drum fall off the kit. Pierre insists it was a fuck up, on a night they weren't into it, and in a weird way was happy about them getting a bad experience, so that they will be ready and check all their gear for bigger venues.

So our mission today: put up posters on campus. Sounds reasonable. Cathy and Tony let us print 50 copies on the copier at the film coop. We get the copies and part ways. His wife works until 8 and Pierre has to get his son Alex from school soon. I come back home, I'm still pumped from the metal show the night before, I put on the heaviest tunes I know: Rage Against The Machine, Skindred, then went caroming youtube for Eddy Grant's Electric Avenue. (Skindred does a rocking cover!) Then Robert Palmer, Genesis' Mama... then it went into "mashes": Genesis (Mama) with Queen (We will Rock You) Then Johnny Cash with Cypress Hill! Johnny Cash singing Hurt, written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. The point was, I wasn't getting my "special assignment until I (Pierre) get back at 9pm" done. "You need to write this down: (via facebook) 3$ Student... door prizes: get free passes and an evil giraffe, and la souris est dessous la table"
Sorry I watched a little Eddie Izzard on Youtube before Pierre got back a little after 10pm. He wants to play me some Franz Ferdinand on youtube for me. You like metal Pierre, why do you like a generic band only in the industry to bang 17yrs old? He came in at the right moment when Eddie Izzard had stopped playing. I think He's an absolutely brilliant stand-up comedian, I don't think Pierre would get over the fact he's cross-dresser, and performs that way on stage. He'd give me the stare: "you're watching men with make-up? You queer or something?"
Yes we are both filmmakers, but both from rural parts of NB. We are the last bastions of the John Wayne Era, the movies our dads watched and tried to emulate the tough as nails mentality, and transpire it down to their sons.
"Shit you shot yourself in the foot? I think I got the moose! you coming or your staying here like a little pussy because you got a boo-boo?" Homer Simpson Parenting, but not too far fetched. However, us farmers, fishermen, and miners we don't talk about the arts.
"Heck I like Grammies macrame and that's all the art I can handle; I'll take my lined rubber boots off, relax, have me a dozen beer and watch me some Grand Prix Wrestling!" That would be all our Maritime fathers' routine. However when you get paid work on a movie set, we have that doubt in our minds that dad thinks he questions where he went wrong. On a film production, you can be worked easily twice as hard than on the farm. But dad may sees it as:
"He's run away and joined the circus! Idiot, I knew that boy ain't right!" We've worked with them gay folk on productions. There's no room for homophobia on a film set. Gay men can't tell you the difference between a sandbag and a C-stand, but good Lord! they decorate the shittiest locations to look like mansions , will complain worst than a woman, but still surpass by a thousandfold your art department expectations; and know how to dress, do her hair, and make-up, so that every part of that actress' body is so god damn good looking on camera! ALWAYS be nice to the flammers on set. Why? because of the "Fag-hags" The wild actresses or extras who've seen him at the gay bar. Yeah those hot bi-sexual women who hang out with gay men because they don't feel threatened. Yeah those mythical creatures, they exist in the movies; they are more rare than unicorns, ......in the outside world. They run like gazelles on film sets... or so the rumor is, you always know that grip who took home two chicks after a long day of shooting, but never experienced it yourself.

Anyway off we go to UNB campus. "We don't exactly have permission to post these up." Pierre says, "but let me do ALL the talking!" Oh boy, I was going on a caper with Pierre! We started at the SUB (Student Union Building) We posted on the bulletin boards everywhere. However, in comes this student security guard, and Pierre uses Jedi mind tricks on him and he left petrified. But Qui-Gon-Louis wasn't done... Pierre has a handful of passes to give out to the Cellar, the student pub, in exchange for hanging up a dozen posters. Pretty slick. We sneaked around to Tilley Hall where Blood Shed is playing on Friday night and started taping posters over doors. Meanwhile..... I'm smiling!
I was actually looking for hidden cameras, especially over the lockers. Am I on a reality show? Am I on The Truman show? Am I being watched? When it looks like I was becoming despondent, and not interacting with Blood Shed fans, Pierre shows up and gives me a moral boost?
If this is an act, Pierre is doing a horrible job acting panicked... Or on the flip side, he has to do it, and is doing a horrible job acting calm. See now here's scenario 2:
Jason Shipley is making him do it. Jason must rub into Pierre's face how he has brought Blood Shed around the world, how he mastermind a record attendance last year at the midnight show by doing the very same 'unauthorized campus blitz". Pierre has to bone up, he has to fill Tilley Hall, on his own.
Scenario 3: (and most plausible now that I'm coming down) Pierre decided, on his own accord, to do this mad caper. He probably knew best if he got me stoned, I wouldn't be all jittery... and it was about a lesson in confidence. He knows I want to get laid this weekend. He wants me to look at whoever I choose square in the eyes, and say to her in not these exact words: "I'll screw you inches away from death, but you'll feel the pleasure for a week." and she'll have to agree. Thanks bro, I'm expecting an awesome week at Silverwave, regardless if I get laid or not, with a reunion of Blood Shed.

Reggie

fake leg, fake head, and fake cocaine

Chronologically and shooting schedule- day 2.

Reggie wakes up on the floor. His nose is bleeding and there's still a line of coke on the mirror next to his sleeping brother. It's a little cold so Reggie keeps his blanket on like a cape. He drops to his knees and snorts the coke off the table. He's cold and the stove is empty, he wants a fire going. Reggie steps outside to the woodpile. The stiff breeze and the obvious hangover would threaten to turn back a weaker man, but not Reggie! Besides, his brother is sleeping on the couch. It's the nice thing to do since he took MAMA's death so hard. Reggie will do the nice things MAMA would do for them when they were kids. Reggie might even gut the fish Louis caught. Pile up as many piece of wood you can carry for your bro.... AGGGGGGHH! Reggie stepped on an upturned nail! It went RIGHT THROUGH HIS FOOT AND BOOT!

Visually, without a word, this is Reggie's most beautiful scene, Jeff Wheaton did an amazing job! I love how the breeze picked up as the right time, and clutching the blanket made Reggie look like he was struggling to keep warm. The nail "removing" was funny to shoot. Pierre and I developed synchronized grunting, which got a big pop from the crew. When it was finally removed, Louis drags me inside. Then all Hell breaks loose from that point on!

I won't reveal too much, but I've never had so many prosthetic parts made for me. I love monster movies with heavy make-up/special effects and Blood Shed had a few gore make-up and head casting sessions. My signature butt chin and prominent brow were cast in plaster of Paris for our most unique kill scene.

Then there's the party scene. Whatever that powder was (vitamin B) it was very dry and if you coughed during the scene, a cloud of white smoke would shoot out, and it happened to be the scene with the most dialogue! I think I did 12 lines in 4 takes of the stuff. Make-up around the eyes made my eyes bug out, I look completely stoned but really the vitamin stuff was coating my lungs... I felt like I just drank an energy drink, without the bloated stomach feeling. It wore off in like 15 minutes, so I knew I wasn't snorting real cocaine.

To this day I have a few physical props of Blood Shed. I have one of Reggie's bloodstained tie-dyes and a wedding band I picked out of a ring box. It is written inside "forever 1967" I was born in 1971! I wear it on occasions I need to be married on film on in theater. The poor tie-dye is stiff from the fake blood and I don't dare to wash it. It's fine the way it is, hanging in my closet with my black overcoat and pimp fur coat. As an actor in NB, I often get asked: "well what do you have for your character's wardrobe?" Maybe in a video montage with: "I know what I like in your wardrobe" by Genesis in the background I'll show you. I surprise myself too. Why do I have a light green women's top?

bad ass door kicking and trailer fishing

I don't know if I have the shooting schedule still but I remember what was shot in the daytime and what was shot at night. To spare Reggie tie dyes, we shot the scenes when Reggie was unhurt first. Friday morning wasn't so bad. it was like a camping trip. When you get up and feel the nice fresh air, blowing from the nearby river, you can't help feel energized even if you drank your face off last night. The fishing scene was one of the early takes. I love to eat fish, but I seldom go fishing, if at all. I've gutted fish someone else caught, but never actually casted a line. In BLOOD SHED, I'm actually trying to put a worm on the hook as Pierre is casting and saying his lines. Like a year later, Pierre brought me back to the same waterhole and I ACTUALLY CAUGHT A FISH! I ate the bloody catch, he was mine and I fried him up with butter and a cold Keith's.
You can also see this scene in the trailer
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=60818351604&oid=5430965833#/video/video.php?v=60814411604&oid=5430965833

I think a few dialogue heavy scenes where shot, where we saw MAMA in a photograph. Jennifer Mawhinney was real mama, posing with her three sons. Pierre's son Alexandre was young Reggie. I call him my "mini-Reggie" and he loves visiting me when his dad picks him up from pre-school. I have cool toys. However my favorite scene of the day started with Reggie at the typewriter. He hears a car coming in, looks through the blinds, grabs a rifle, kicks the screen door charging out to blow the F_cker away! The underwear was nixed, much to the delight of the crew. I was slightly over 190lbs then. Today? maybe balls out, bottomless. OK that's Dennis, Reggie isn't a pervert. But you gotta wonder what he does all alone in a camp near the lake. Oh yeah Pete calls strippers for him... case closed.

Kicking out the screen door was a treat. Every John Wayne or bad-ass character never touches the door handle; no, you have to kick it open! I had to laugh when I saw John Leguizamo in Land of the Dead; an actor about my height kicking in doors! It's so effective to illustrate he's a bad ass, despite being vertically challenged. Plus I had firepower. The gun wasn't loaded, but I felt very powerful. I oozed maschismo. This was way better with pants on, I don't think Reggie could have been as manly with his balls hanging out.

SPOILER ALERT: This was meant to be the opening scene. BLOOD SHED starts off with a little backstory about Louis serving time in prison, MAMA died during this time, and Louis went on a little mental kiling spree. Reggie was suppose to die. BUT in the final edit, this scene was brought to the end. Did Reggie imagine all this? Was Reggie having a premotion and was going to kill Louis before it happened? WHO KNOWS? it leaves it open for the audience's interpretation. I love it! Reggie is now an Anti-hero! As the actor who played Reggie, I'm totally pulling for Reggie to save the day!

Day 1 -Thursday night

I somehow ended up with a "production van," a rental, so I could pick up some people in Fredericton. I couldn't find Denis Sweet on campus. When I did, I was afraid I'd be late so I did what I normally do with a rental car: speed. I later learned that Dale was an insane driver, and scared the crap out of crew when he travelled people to the craft (lunch) location. I think my passengers were a bit afraid, but I got them there in one piece and rolled in CAMP BLOOD SHED just before dusk. Perfect timing. There was also talk about the "ratty underwear scene," a week before production. Instead of running out, hell bent on blowing any trespasser's head off, I was suppose to run out in my underwear. I think I was given the underwear on the first night. However the piece the resistance was Reggie's pink tie dye shirt, made in triplicate, because, well... Reggie was going to go through Hell at certain times in the script. Film is never shot in story sequence, but rather divided into sections or scenes depending on availability of actors, locations, key crew, etc. It was also weather permitting as most of the scenes in Blood Shed happen outdoors. luckily no one pissed off the gnome gods and is was beautiful all weekend.



First scene: Reggie stands in front of a rifle as Louis threatens to kill him... whoa, whoa, what? Pierre had his game face on, but at the same time was VERY concerned about pointing a rifle at a human being. "This goes against ALL my life's training as a game hunter!" Pierre said out of character. This was the Pierre I know now: the caring father, the loving husband, the friend that has your back.



This reminds me of a story sort of unrelated to Blood Shed, but too funny not to share. We were at Paul Anger's house, at the "Ask Ug" wrap party. Pierre is cutting an ice cream cake with a huge knife. I missed the first part of the conversation, but I guess it was about kids and family. Pierre suddenly channeled Louis while wielding the knife in the air, yelling: "If ANYONE touches my daughter, son or wife, I'LL KILL THEM !!!!!" Pretty much the whole kitchen backed away three feet until he "acted" like he was coming out of a lunatic's trance, and said: "anyone want cake? It looks delicious!" He meant every word, just went over the top saying so. I do not envy the young man who has to face Pierre when he wants to have a date with his daughter in years yet passed. Of course he will let her go out, but not before scaring the Bejesus out of that kid.
INT. PIERRE'S LIVING ROOM -DAY
Pierre is sitting on the sofa, cleaning his gun. It's not loaded, but the boy doesn't know that.
PIERRE
"See that rifle, boy? I'm a pretty good shot... bring her home by 10pm... or else"
sorry I'm writing a script. It's a scene from every silly movie when the guy has to meet the girl's parents and the dad is a nut. Transpose that love and revenge factor towards your MAMA, and you have LOUIS!

Where was I? Oh. Reggie staring down the barrel of a rifle. And poor Reggie, drunk and high, is suppose to dismiss the claim Louis would shoot him: "Why would you go do that for?" Then Louis snaps out of it and "shoots the moon". the first night was a light schedule and Reggie got to improvise. Reggie is wearing a plastic Viking hat, and has beer. (not real beer... yet) Well damn what comes to mind when you're wearing a Viking hat and you have beer? BEER HAT! I poured the beer in the hat and drank it. Well not really, I mostly poured it on my chin and wore the rest on my head! The crew got a good laugh the first take, but from then on when Louis shot at the moon, Reggie drank like a Viking plunderer. It was then I felt in character, I got the essence of Reggie. Let's wrap it up and drink real beer... well for the set. honestly. Cast and crew were encouraged to drink beer and litter the front lawn, light a campfire and be careful not to crush empties as you stagger to your tent. CAMP BLOOD SHED is being designed with an amazing end of day drinkfest. CAREFUL: HOT SET!

The Trip to Blood Shed

This is Dennis Poirier, some of you may know me as Reggie. He's a lovable character. He sees the good in everyone, tough as nails, and loves to party. The road to Blood Shed for Reggie began at the Charlotte Street Art Centre, in Fredericton NB, the NB Filmmaker's Coop's new home from the crowded, upstairs setup on York Street. I have fond memories of taking equipment up that narrow flight of stairs after a long shooting day. The CSAC allowed members of the coop to book rooms all over the centre. Pierre Huard, who I consider my closest friend in Fredericton now, was that crazy guy that made a French film about cousins sleeping together. I didn't know him well then, but he had seen me in "Dead Flies" as the villain Kurt Daly and wanted to audition me for a script he had written called "The Trip". The Trip was about 2 French speaking brothers out in the wilderness. One of them is a killer. Sounds familiar? Well I met Pierre in the art room upstairs to audition for Louis. I was told I was on a short list of specific actors he wanted to act in the Trip and essentially I got the part after uttering the phrase that still survives in Blood Shed: "I just shot Pete!". I didn't hear much from Pierre until I heard Jason Shipley was on board. Jason Shipley? the guy that gave AD (assistant director) workshops? The guy from Fredericton who has worked on Trailer Park Boys, Lexx and many other shows and films I've actually heard of? Wow! how cool is that?

Apparently Pierre and Jason are buddies. Jason was lured to the camp, now surnamed: Camp Blood Shed. Pierre pitched his idea to Jason. Jason was hooked, he's a big horror fan and had just helped his AD friends Jason Eisner and Rob Cotterill concoct Treevenge. At Silver Wave 2008, Blood Shed and Treevenge made the midnight show a huge success! Anyway, I was informed I lost the role of Louis, ...to Pierre! I didn't know Pierre had acting experience, let alone professional experience, so I was going in completely blind that this experience was going to be the best experience I would ever have, and still haven't topped. Jason was going to direct. Pierre and I (mostly Pierre with suggestions from Cathie Leblanc at the Film Coop) rounded up a volunteer crew of coop members. Denis Sweet (aka Mclovin), Michel Guitard, Jessica Holt, Corena Walby, Jennifer Mawhinney, Johnathan Driscoll, Bruce Legrow, and Paul Angers, would eventually be recruited to work on this crazy ride. Paul and I met Jason at the Lunar Rogue in early pre-production. Paul was the special effect person on "They Didn't Make it" He was still learning how to make gore for film, but had questions about the effects desired. "You're doing what with a chainsaw?" In Jason's usual calm demeanor, he reassured Paul safety would never be an issue. Jason also told me to read up on conspiracies, the wilder the better. What he didn't know was that whenever I'm drunk or high, I tend to dream up wild conspiracies. There was one night in production I thought they dragged me outside the city to kill me! So no matter how tired I was, I was going to stay up until everyone went to bed! I never considered myself a method actor, but I was in a constant state of panic and ecstasy at the same time. The DoP was Jeff Wheaton, a guy the film coop has tremendous respect for, Gary Ferguson, toting a machine gun and turban, sporting a long beard, supervising special effects and gun wrangling, poncho wearing Aram Kouyoumdjian, mentoring Bruce on sound, and wrestling with lawn gnomes that were suppose to make it on camera. This was a real film set!

There was another pre-production meeting in Fredericton with Jason, Pierre, Gary and I. Jason wanted explosions. Gary reminded him he was not on a budget shoot. It would cost him upwards of 2000$, and lot of time spent rigging it to work and look good. Jason reluctantly axed the fireworks, but wanted to up the gore and sex. There was talk there would be as many as three strippers in the finale, but we were at a lost to find even one girl would would bare her breasts. Pierre knew there was only one "Scream Queen" around, Miranda Wilkins. She acted for me in my very first film "Hell Dog" (still in post/edit limbo.. grrr!) and Pete would be played by another long time friend of Pierre and Jason's, John Heinstein. With a cast and crew rounded up, we headed to the middle of nowhere NB, CAMP BLOOD SHED!

next blog: first day of production and meeting Mama
