After several fantastic driving set ups with our principal cast and some great supporting actors (Thank you Pam and Vance!) we continued shooting the journey of our protagonists as they head further into the wilderness to escape the Man In Black.
As an independent film shooting on a very small budget, we were always going to favor the 'found locations' approach over building expensive sets. One of the main reasons for shooting the film in Rachel and the rest for Nevada was for precisely this reason.
Aside from the outrageously talented local cast being a big pull, there is also nowhere else in the States with the combination of this kind of scenery, the freedom to shoot on it and the helpful and kind nature of the owners and proprietors to let us do so.
Their willingness to let us use these wonderful locations and their eagerness to support our film, for which we are eternally grateful, is why this kind of film can be made over there and not in other places such as the UK where money mad location managers and the arts hating government have spoiled the film making experience.
In the world of independent feature films, it is a desert out there; but one where with the support of good people, a sense of adventure and the eagerness to succeed, you can accomplish a great deal.
Stay tuned for further adventures as we get ready to leave Rachel and head out into the wilds of Nevada and the Silver mining town of Tonopah for an epic showdown that will leave only one man alive...
