‘Jerry’s Pub’ Production Updates

Just finished printing up some production paperwork this afternoon for ‘Jerry’s Pub.’ You know, some of the fun stuff like contracts, releases, location stuff. Pretty time consuming but we need to cover all bases, right? And our asses, of course.

Adapting this little piece of mine to the screen is gonna take some tweaking and imagination, but I’m sure those involved with the project will be balls-out ready to give it their all. Granted, this flick is an ultra-low budget indy, but we’re looking at utilizing what resources we have available to make it good enough (if not better) to make some festivals next year. I really believe in the story itself working as a short flick, and I’m sure that the final product will be something we’re all proud of.

We licensed a track by Moby for the opening credits, and I’m going to be working on maybe getting another track or two of his into the movie. I love Moby and am glad that an artist of his caliber, whose music is renowned worldwide, is a part of our little flick. I’d love to have some local Pennsylvania acts feature some music in the flick too.

This being our first flick I’m a bit set against an open casting call for the remainder of the open roles, mainly because I know what I want in those characters but also because we simply don’t have the draw for quality actors from other regions to come here and work for peanuts. However, I do have a handful of local individuals that I’m considering to read for the open roles.

Location scouting is currently in progress, and I’m sure things will easily work out the way I want them to in that department. I have some things going on in my head that I know we’ll be able to find in this area. Of couse, the flick will have a couple more locations than the original stage version of the play, which only has one.

That’s about where we are at this point. I’ll keep you guys updated as we move forward.
