Day 3 of shooting on the comedy pilot was fun! We had Charla Phillips Roller and Carlea Stafford back on set today for filming. Plus Kathy Phillips made her acting debut as well in a fun bit cameo role. Below are photos from the 3rd day of shooting. It looks like one more day of filming is needed and then we'll be wrapped on this movie. Enjoy the photos!

We are continuing to shoot on our new comedy film. We were joined yesterday by Rachel Riley, (which I last worked with on Spaghetti Noon) & Michael Reiser (who I last worked with on Swindling Charade). It was fun being around and working with these two again. We shot a scene that takes place in a coffee shop. A few weeks ago I posted that DELISH:Bakery and Coffee Shoppe was kind enough to allow us to come in and shoot. It went great! Plus they got great coffee and danishes that we had after we wrapped filming.

We now have the coffee shop that we'll be using in the film. Delish: Bakery and Coffee Shoppe It's in a newly restored historic building in our local downtown area. The owner, Mrs. George, was very nice and friendly to us. It will be a fun time shooting in here and helping Mrs. George spread the word about her coffee shop and bakery.

Today Dad and I went location scouting for the movie. We looked around downtown locations where most of the film will take place. Found some good sights down there. Plus we went to a coffee shop that we thought would be ideal for the movie. The owner was a very nice lady. Tomorrow we're going to meet with her to see if she gives us the "thumps up" to shoot in her place.

That's the update for today.
