News from Iowa

Greetings from Northwestern Iowa.


This is just a short report on the filming of Winning Favor. We started filming last week Monday morning. We did our first shooting at one of the local high schools. The first week was great but very long. Three of our shooting days were over 14 hours long and the rest were in the 12 hour range. We shoot six days per week. This week has been much easier. We have had later call times and the hours have not been as long. The crew is is small but we work well together.


Hunter Richards, Director of Photography

John Doryk (Sound recordist), Matt Ashford (Actor),
Steve (Actor) and Jamey Durham (Director).


Jamey, Hunter, Kiera (Camera assistant), Kristen (1st AD), Kimberly (Script supervisor) and Kathryn (Loader/Data management)

This past Sunday several of us went rock climbing.

This face was the hardest thing we climbed


This route was one that I spotted and wanted to climb.
It ended up being one of the most fun climbs we did.


David trying out the new route.


John, Steven, me and David.


The Rocks at the park are stunning. If we go back we might try out some routes on the the backside (right side of the picture) of this rock.



Well that is all for now. I hope that you all enjoyed this small peek at what I have been up to.

Wow! So fun and impressive! I am sure you guys don't know who Matt Ashford is but my grandparents used to watch Days of Our Lives and I would watch with them in the summers (yes, gasp, I have a sketchy past!). Jack (his character) and the beautiful Jennifer, his love, were a favorite couple! So, it's fun to see his picture again and you working with him. Can't wait to hear more about your work and, in the end, a movie!

Nate,
So glad that you shared these with us. That rock looks like so much fun. Are you the one climbing in any of the pictures? Well at least if you fell down you'd land in water.

love,
Mom

No, I am not in any of the pictures. David tried to take some pictures of me with my camera but they did not turn out.

Can't wait to hear the stories . . .
