Aloha Style and a new cast member
OK, so the time has come for some explaining, so you can all catch-up with the fast and furious way things are moving in "movie-land."
Connie, who has been an enormous help with this movie (not even including playing a lead role) has just taken it a step further. She has offered to let me use her Hula studio - which hasn't opened yet, as a shooting location for the ever troublesome bar scenes. So, we bought a tiki bar (which will later be used as a check-out counter for the retail store) and now I am happy to say we have a set!!!
Our new location - Aloha Style!
Of course, now that *that* is settled, I have managed to get a schedule nailed down for the coming month and we started shooting last Sunday. But ... there was still one more glitch!
There is one scene where we need everyone to be there - and so far I had almost everyone confirmed for coming on a certain day. Except Mick (David), who schedule is packed full of his own movie-making adventures (he's racing against the deadline for Sundance). Since I had already told Mick I would replace him if I had to - and he promised his feelings wouldn't be hurt, I went ahead and did just that!
So I would like everyone to welcome David Foster to the cast - He auditioned with Connie and I on Sunday and not only is he great for the part, but I think he will fit in with the rest of our crazy group just fine! Check out his Bio on the "Cast" page!
Welcome Dave!
