The journey for “Welcome to Hell” has been a long and winding one. I have gone through rounds of casting and crew hunting to finally settle on a bare-bones crew to get some trailers filmed. Needless to say, COVID-19 played a role, as it did for everyone…
After an intense day of filming (1 hour prep / 8 hour filming / 1 hour clean up and sanitization), we have the first two produced instances of the show!
My goal was to use them in a crowdfunding campaign, but it looks like the journey to a full-length pilot may be extended one last time for the following reasons:
- My cinematographer is moving to Texas!
- My audio guy already moved to Maine! (I had to run audio as I assistant directed and produced… fun times!)
It looks like we will have to put things on blocks until I can find some crew that is able to do it locally, or I’m able to schedule logistics for a crew and cast residing in four different states (Texas, Maine, Virginia, and Maryland).
Let’s see what happens!
