If anyone is curious about the recent spate of digital single lens
reflex cameras which also shoot HD video, here is a review from the
writers of Macworld that compares 6 leading models in that class:

Our meeting on 10-9-09 enjoyed the first look at the video shots on 9-12-09 taken at the rural cemetary in Stockton, site of the statue of Reuel Gridley. Despite the lightening, thunder and rain the shots turned out well thanks to Erick and Bosko and the Deprato family. As noted in the previous missive to members, what is needed to complete the "Midas Sack" will be shots of Gridley with his sack of flour in front of the saloon in Austin. Jeff Thompson, are you still willing to play Gridley? If so, can you let Erick know what days and times you would be available.

We are asked to submit our favorite movies on DVDs to a group called Movies for "The Love of It". I like the following: Night on the River, A Time to Run, The Switch 1 and 2, and Moving Minnie. Also the movie by Duke but I can't recall the name of it. Help?? Let us know your favorites, remembering that the deadline for submission is Nov 1, 2009. We're not assured how many, if any, will be shown. The notice is copied below.

And please calendar Thursday November 12, 2009 for the next SAMM meeting.

Bob and Sue White

Dear Sue and Bob,

Melinda Stone (USF) and Kathy Geritz (Berkeley Film Archive) are planning a new presentation of movies made by amateur clubs at a "For the Love of It" event next February. Even though most of the Northern California movie clubs are now defunct, they feel there are a lot of movies made during the last 10 years or so that would be of interest to fans in the Bay Area. I know that the movies made by the Sacramento club and screened at Inter Club Contests are superior examples of the art, and I would like to offer them to Melinda and Kathy as candidates for screening at this event. Do you have DVD copies of such movies that you would be willing to put on the program. Please send me a list of titles and running times as soon as possible. The deadline for setting the program is Nov. 1.

By the way, thank you for the information about the ABC Cinema Digital Film Course. It sounds interesting. I note that you have sent the information to Frank Swanson and Bill Mannion of the Viewfinders Digital Video Club (in Cupertino), that is the only surviving amateur movie club in the Bay Area. I'm sure that they will respond to your message. When I see them, I will remind them of this issue.

I look forward to hearing from you. All the best,

Bernie

I just received this e-mail today, 7-13-09. Either somebody's clock is set wrong or
their e-mail finally made it to the server.

A while back a friend and myself were shooting some photos at the cemetery on
Broadway and some gentleman came out and asked what we were doing. He told
us that we had to have a permit to shoot photos there, had to do with privacy. He
gave us some city address where we could get a permit. We were non-commercial.
We just packed up and left.

Just a head's up.

I would like to get involved with the group but have been so busy. I'm about to leave

got new u/w video lights, have to try them out!

Access Sacramento and The Tenth Annual "Place Called Sacramento Film Festival" invite all local folks interested in local filmmaking to come to the Coloma Community Center at 6:00 PM May 20, 2009. Local, short 10 minute scripts have being judged by local filmmakers and the top ten have been selected for production.

On May 20, the ten selected writers/producers will introduce themselves and invite your participation. Experience and inexperienced actors, directors, producers, production, post-production. location scouts, and "craft services" are invited to attend and select which volunteer team you would like to help. Introduce yourself and maybe you will be "cast" or selected to help produce a film to be seen on the Big Screen at the Crest Theater October 4 and posted "on-demand" at www.AccessSacramento.org

Bring your business cards, resum es, head shots, etc. if you have them but they are not necessary. This is NOT a traditional "stand-in- line audition". Plan to attend from the very beginning (6:00 PM sharp) to hear the scripts and then introduce yourself to the filmmakers of your choosing.

Join the fun this summer and help make a movie about your hometown. All ages are invited. Invite your friends and family - we expect to see more than 200 people but hundreds more can be accommodated. A ccess Sacramento builds community by making movies - only in a place called Sacramento.

May Meeting on Thursday 5-14-09 Coloma Coimmunity Center, 46th and T Streets, Jamestown Room, 7PM.

On Saturday 5-9-09 in the Access Sacramento Studio we re-recorded thecommentary for "ATime to Run" Thanks to Erick Lorenz ingenious tele-prompter and Duke McAdow's skillful handling of the equipment and his intelligent directing, plus Sheila Hirsch's attractive appearance and smooth delivery, I believe this version will make ATTR of interest to even more agencies and schools. Duke's sister, Ada, was also a big help. Bosko Ljubisavljevic also lent a helping hand.

Access Sacramento has just purchased a new tele-prompter with its $600 dollar plexiglass attachment. Ron Cooper tells me his tele-prompter utilizes a laptop feature which allows potential users to prepare their work at home and then bring the laptop to the studio and place it in the tele-prompter. This is a far better feature than having to rely on proprietary and expensive software, he said. This latter feature is part of Erick's excellent creation.

Ron Cooper has asked SAMM members for help on May 20, 2009 at which time they will be working with groups who are creating movies for the annual showing at the Crest Theater. It will also give us a chance to recruit actors, if we need them, for "TheMidas Sack of Flour." and future movies. More on that at the May meeting. .

SAAM members:

I've never contributed to this group before but you brought something up that
you might want to know about.

A year or so ago, we were shooting some still photos at the cemetery on
Broadway. I have to admit, from an observer's point of view, it was kind of
weird, it was of a lady dressed up in a bride's gown.

Somebody approached us and asked what we were doing, we were not
doing anything commercial but he told us that to take photos in the cemetery,
we had to have a permit from the City of Sacramento. We didn't argue with
him, so we just packed up and left. They told us it was a privacy issue in
that people's names were on the monuments.

Just a heads up, I didn't see a problem with what we were doing, but the city
can have some weird rules.

Although I joined your group a while back, I haven't been following your
activities, I'll have to pay more attention to the Yahoo site.

Sue and Bob White, Herb Bennett and Barbara Evans, Bernie Scoville and Florence Smith attended. Discussed were the issues regarding the shooting of "Ihe Midas Sac, of Flour. Russell Tanihana and his son Jonathan are willing to play the roles of father and son in the script.
Also discussed: where to shoot the father and son scenes. By blue/green screen or ussing the entrance of a local cemetary such as the one on Broadway, or go to the cemetary in Stockton and shoot everything there.
I phoned Erick Lorenz and he believes that the blue/green screen method is complicated and the chance of having a good result would be hard to achieve. This means that either going to Stockton Rural Cemetary where Gridley's statue is located or using Sacramento's Broadway Cemetary for the father/son scenes seems the two choices we will have to make. Erick will be available to work on the shoot the first four Saturdays in May. I will contact Russel Tanihana to see if he and Jonathan would be available on one of the May Saturdays.

EDITOR'S NOTE:

Lots of film projects are starting production as we speak – and we are looking forward to seeing the fruits of your creative talents on screen soon. The Sac Music Seen listening party for filmmakers is coming on April 18th (see item #6 below) and that is always a great way to connect with other filmmakers and crew who are up to the creative and competitive film challenge. DTE’s newest entertainment TV series ‘Up All Nite’ is getting underway and the producers held a very successful casting event last weekend, and we have new studios cropping up as well. It’s a good time to be creating in Sactown!

See you out there…

ITEMS THIS WEEK:

1) One Man Filmmaking – How to Do It All For Less Back to Top

Come to the monthly CFAA meeting on Tuesday April 21st at 7pm, and hear from filmmaker and TV cameraman Mike Carroll, who will provide tips, ideas, lessons learned and anecdotes as he shares his one-man filmmaking experiences.

As an independent filmmaker, it is imperative that you understand the many technical and creative processes and procedures of move making, and there is no better (or cheaper) way to learn than to take on all those tasks yourself!

Mike Carroll is a TV news and documentary cameraperson with 24 years experience, shooting for KCRA Channel 3 Reports since 1989. He partnered with Bonnie Bennett in 1999 to produce the documentary Dog Soldiers; with Michael Dryhurst to produce Year, a finalist in the 2006 Sundance Film Festival; and currently with Bonnie Bennett to produce the feature film Nightbeats for submission to film festivals and distribution on DVD and internet download.

The CFAA meetings are held at The Art Institute of Sacramento, located at 2850 Gateway Oaks Dr., Sacramento CA. Admission is free to CFAA members or $5 for non-members. All are welcome!

Mike is also teaching a course at UCD Extension called
‘Digital Cinema – Digital World’ (see item #18 below)

2) Actors Needed for Script Read On Tues. 4/14 Back to Top

The next CFAA monthly script read/feedback forum will be held at 6:30 on Tuesday April 14th at The Art Institute, 2850 Gateway Oaks Drive, Sac 95833.

We will be reading a comedy written by Doug Coleman entitled Master Baiters (it has to do with fishing)!!! It is male heavy so we really need you chaps to turn up.

Please click here to contact me if you are interested or available, let me know asap so I can ‘cast’ you in a role and get you on the list.

Thanks, and if you have any questions about this or wish to submit your script for consideration, please contact me.

Ruby Sketchley
CFAA Board / Script Read Coordinator

3)Sony High Def Users Group Back to Top

A new group is forming for owners and users of Sony's EX1 and EX3 High Definition cameras. We'll get together to share operation information and techniques.

If you'd like to be on the list to join this group, email Frank Casanova at The Studio Center or call (916) 564-9333.

4) Fly Fishing Movie Coming to the Big ScreenBack to Top

Did you ever see the movie “A River Runs Through It?” Tom Skerritt narrated that movie and he narrates you through “Rivers of a Lost Coast.”

The upper northern California coastal area is called “The Lost Coast.” It is, for the most part, terribly rugged territory.

Fly fishing in the early years, the late 1800s and early 1900s, was something pretty much unheard of. But, there were early pioneers to the sport such as the legendary Virgil Sullivan, Grant King and Bill Schaadt. It’s reported that in a few hours of fishing one day, Sullivan caught 27 steelhead on the Russian River that fed his family and his needy neighbors.

Today, the Russian River and most others don’t support the fishery of yesterday. But, in this chronicled movie, you can see how many of the rivers were fished by anglers in the infancy of fly fishing.

Produced by Sacramento filmmakers Justin Coupe and Palmer Taylor of Skinny Fist Productions, this movie is a must-see for fly anglers. It will be at the Crest Theater in Sacramento only on April 22-23 with showings at 5:30 and 8 p.m.

5) Prop Master getting out of the "Bizz" & selling everything Back to Top

After 30 years as a Hollywood Propmaster, Rich Baum is getting out of the business and selling it all.

Prop "Taco" Cart, Set Prop Boxes, Container Cart...see my website.

In addition to these carts & boxes, I have Director's Chairs, tools, breakaway glass, ammo, containers, watches, rings, printed material, lots of period props & packaging, cleaners, Rubbermaid carts, dollies, furniture pads, expendables, supplies, sprays, cleaners, glues, streaks & tips, toys, balls, backpacks, ropes, printed material, license plates, money, blood, brooms, brushes,

Here is a link to Sun Valley Cabinets and here is a link to Backstage EquipmentCarts (notice my cart new goes for over $1700 !!! I will sell my cart at a fraction of that price.)

You name it, I got it for pennies on the dollar.

Give me a call to learn more or if you have any questions.

Thanks

The Power of the Peep
Partially filmed in Sacramento!

Boxed in sets of five and staring out with sugar-blackened eyes, Marshmallow Peeps have been emerging like clockwork from a factory in Bethlehem Pennsylvania since the 1950s. They were born in the mind of a Russian immigrant, hatched in Easter baskets, and eaten by the dozens across the country. Then they armed themselves with lances, stood in front of trucks, mutated in microwave ovens and set out on their own.

This is the story of what happened when a marshmallow met modern America. It’s the story of how a sweet candy product got to the shelves of your convenience store – and what happened after it left them behind.

The Power of the Peep takes you to World War I Russia, across America and into the Peeps factory itself to tell the extraordinary story of Marshmallow Peeps.

Part of this doc was filmed here in Sacramento at the annual Peep Off, which occurs again on April 18, 2009! More info on Peep Off XII: Of Gods and Men can be found here.

Coming in May!

20) Playwrights Collaborative Meetings At The Big Idea Theatre Back to Top



All activities are at the Big Idea Theatre, 1616 Del Paso Blvd (in the same complex as Fran’s Cafe and the Supper Club, across Del Paso and a little east of KFC).

Workshops are monthly on Sundays at 7:00 PM on dates to be announced. There are no dues, fees or other charges for participating.

Staged readings may be scheduled occasionally by playwrights.

At the Sunday, April 19, workshop, Michael Von Haenel's "Agent of God" will be read and discussed. "Following a tragedy which crushes the lives of a young couple; each of the partners chooses to deal with their grief in different ways.

While one becomes an alcoholic, the other (who is a trial lawyer) sublimates her rage by pursuing a class-action lawsuit that has the potential to financially ruin the Catholic Church. Through the course of this drama, they discover a way to repair their shattered lives and renew their relationship."

At the Sunday, May 3, workshop, Michelle Cruff's "Clocks and Elephants" will be read and discussed.

On Saturday, May 16, Donya Wicken will present a staged reading of "Magnetic Women."

The June workshop will be on June 7 and a staged reading will be on June 27.

"The Playwrights Collaborative is an organization of writers, actors, directors and others interested in the theater, working together to promote the development and production of new plays in Sacramento and elsewhere.

Through a cooperative process of peer review, Playwrights Collaborative assists in making plays ready for production and helps in finding suitable venues where shows might be performed."

WORKSHOPS: At each workshop, original plays by local writers are read and discussed as are ways to promote deserving works for production. Several theaters have expressed an interest in producing one new original play per year and Playwrights Collaborative has encouraged similar interest by other theatres in the area. There will also be occasional speakers with expertise in various aspects of theater.

STAGED READINGS: Playwrights participating in the once-a-month Sunday workshops will be scheduling occasional "staged readings" of plays that have been developed sufficiently to be ready for production. A staged reading is a play production with the actors holding scripts.

Playwrights Collaborative invites interested writers and actors to attend and take part in the workshop readings which can lead to invitational staged readings of new works. The group actively promotes new plays to prospective producers. Following each reading, comments and suggestions for improvement will be solicited from all who are present.

For further information or if you have a play you would like work shopped, contact Gary Agid, chairman. (916-383-9267) .



21) Interviewing Techniques Workshop? Back to Top



For those of you who missed the last Interviewing Techniques workshop, we'll be having another one, which will be held Wednesday, April 15th from 6:30 to 8 p.m. This one will be led by Molly Dugan, an assistant professor of journalism and communication studies at Sac State.

She will be discussing how to tailor your interviews toward articles that you would be writing for the Sacramento Press.

We'll serve food at 6:30 p.m. and the workshop will start at 6:45 p.m.

Our office is located at 431 I Street, Suite 107 in the Amtrak station. We are in the same building complex as the Starbucks. If you are facing Starbucks go around the building to the left and you'll see our Sac Press sign out front.

We recommend you find parking on the street, bike or take light rail, as the Amtrak parking lot charges $1.50 per half hour and we cannot cover the cost of parking. If you take light rail, we will give you two passes when you get here - one to cover your trip here and one to cover your trip back.

Please RSVP by e-mailing.

If you have any trouble finding our office, you can give us a call at 916-443-5403.

PRAY THE DEVIL BACK TO HELL
"Pray the Devil Back to Hell" chronicles the remarkable story of the courageous Liberian women who came together to end a bloody civil war and bring peace to their shattered country.

Thousands of women - ordinary mothers, grandmothers, aunts and daughters, both Christian and Muslim - came together to pray for peace and then staged a silent protest outside of the Presidential Palace. Armed only with white T-shirts and the courage of their convictions, they demanded a resolution to the country's civil war. Their actions were a critical element in bringing about a agreement during the stalled peace talks.

A story of sacrifice, unity and transcendence, Pray the Devil Back to Hell honors the strength and perseverence of the women of Liberia. Inspiring, uplifting, and most of all motivating, it is a compelling testimony of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations.

27) State Advocacy Back to Top

California Arts Advocates is the sponsor of AB 700, the Creative Industries & Community Economic Revitalization Act of 2010.

The bill's author is Assembly Member and Assistant Majority Leader Paul Krekorian (D-Los Angeles); co-authors are Assembly Member Anthony Portantino (D-Pasadena) and Senators Mark DeSaulnier (D-Contra Costa) and Carol Liu (D-Pasadena). As the sponsor of the bill, CAA board members are working to build public awareness and support for this bill, are recruiting more co-authors from the assembly and Senate, and meeting with elected officials from all levels of government  to gain support among lawmakers at the Capitol.

To become law, AB 700 must pass out of three assembly committees,  the assembly floor, two Senate committees, the Senate floor, and be signed by the Governor, all within various legislative deadlines. It has cleared the first hurdle by passing in the Assembly Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism and Internet Media Committee (5-3) last week.

AB 700 will be heard by the Assembly Revenue & Taxation Committee on Monday, April 27 at 1:30pm. This committee is particularly interested in the economic impact of the arts. CAA Board Member John Gallogly, Executive Director of Theatre West and Michael McDowell, Senior Director of Cultural Tourism, LA, Inc. (Los Angeles Convention & Visitor's Bureau) will be at the Capitol to testify in support of AB 700 before the committee. If you are in Sacramento on April 27, we invite you to attend the hearing and show your support.

More than 25 organizations, including the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, have registered their support for AB 700. To convince legislators to pass this bill, we need more organizations to send a message about the public value of the arts.

Please register your support for a public investiment for the arts by faxing your letters to Assembly Member Krekorian at (916) 319-2143 or mail to Assembly Member Krekorian, State Capitol, Sacramento, CA 95814. Sample letters can be found on CAA's Web site. Please also fax a copy to CAA at (916) 979-1116.

The state legislature is in Spring recess from April 2 to April 12. Most legislators are in their district offices and are available to meet with constituents about issues that they care about.

Cut! That's a Wrap... See You Next Week.

EDITOR'S NOTE:

Hello Spring! Hello Wind! Hello Allergies! Sigh… But this too shall pass. And in the meantime, there is a ton of filmmaking activity and creative stuff happening in spite of the runny noses and watery eyes! Most importantly, I am hearing of so many great connections being made, new partnerships being formed and lots of cross support going on, and it makes me proud of our film community. I often get comments from new members and people who have experienced different film environments - and they love that we actually HAVE a community here that supports each other and I agree that is what makes Sacramento so uniquely special. Keep paying it forward…

See you next week…

– Laurie Pederson, CFAA Director

2) Playwrights Collaborative Meetings At The Big Idea Theatre Back to Top

All activities are at the Big Idea Theatre, 1616 Del Paso Blvd (in the same complex as Fran’s Cafe and the Supper Club, across Del Paso and a little east of KFC).

Workshops are monthly on Sundays at 7:00 PM on dates to be announced. There are no dues, fees or other charges for participating.

Staged readings may be scheduled occasionally by playwrights. A $5 suggested contribution will help the playwrights offset their expenses.

On Saturday, April 4, at 7:30 PM, Roberta Blagg will present a staged reading of "Missing Pieces."
Synopsis: In 1998 a group of 6 people in their 50's meet in St. Louis Missouri for a college reunion after 30 years. Because the bonds of early adulthood are strong, they all return to renew their friendships, tell their stories, explore the ways time and trouble have taken their toll, and recapture their dreams.

At the Sunday, April 19, workshop, Michael Von Haenel's "Agent of God" will be read and discussed.

At the Sunday, May 3, workshop, Michelle Cruff's "Clocks and Elephants" will be read and discussed.

on Saturday, May 16, Donya Wicken will present a staged reading of "Magnetic Women."

The June workshop will be on June 7.

"The Playwrights Collaborative is an organization of writers, actors, directors and others interested in the theater, working together to promote the development and production of new plays in Sacramento and elsewhere. Through a cooperative process of peer review, Playwrights Collaborative assists in making plays ready for production and helps in finding suitable venues where shows might be performed."

WORKSHOPS: At each workshop, original plays by local writers are read and discussed as are ways to promote deserving works for production. Several theaters have expressed an interest in producing one new original play per year and Playwrights Collaborative has encouraged similar interest by other theatres in the area. There will also be occasional speakers with expertise in various aspects of theater.

STAGED READINGS: Playwrights participating in the once-a-month Sunday workshops will be scheduling occasional "staged readings" of plays that have been developed sufficiently to be ready for production. A staged reading is a play production with the actors holding scripts.

Playwrights Collaborative invites interested writers and actors to attend and take part in the workshop readings which can lead to invitational staged readings of new works. The group actively promotes new plays to prospective producers. Following each reading, comments and suggestions for improvement will be solicited from all who are present.

For further information, contact Gary Agid (916-383-9267) .

3)Videographer Needed THIS Saturday! Back to Top

Dave is one of the nation's best ultra-long distance runner in the country, and Bill is capturing this unique man's racing goals and life perspectives. The race will take place in the Sierra Nevada foothills outside of Sacramento.

The race is this Saturday April 4th, so if you're interested email Bill immediately so he can provide you with more information. Videographer must have his own HD equipment minimum (1440X1080).

Pay is $50 plus reimbursement for shipping fees of footage. Videographer will also receive screen credit. This is a great oppurtunit to build resume experience and see a fascinating event.

5) Auditions for TV Host in Sacramento THIS Saturday! Back to Top

NEW LATE-NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT SHOW HOLDS AMERICAN IDOL-STYLE AUDITIONS FOR TV HOST IN SACRAMENTO

UP ALL NITE is holding an open American Idol-style audition to discover a fresh new face to host the new late-night entertainment and nightlife program.

Auditions are from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 4 in front of Macy’s in Downtown Plaza, 547 L St., Sacramento, CA 95814.

The audition is open to men and women, ages 21 to 35, with the right look, vibe, enthusiasm and confidence to co-host an entertainment show.

UP ALL NITE is an exciting new late-night TV show debuting in Sacramento. The 30-minute show is described as entertaining and edgy and features guest celebrities and field reporters covering the hippest, most daring entertainment, music, nightclub, restaurant, sports, fashion and pop culture news in the Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto markets.

UP ALL NITE is the brainchild of director-writer Deon Taylor, whose film catalogue includes the soon-to-be-released Chain Letter starring Nikki Reed (Twilight) and Keith David and The Hustle starring Charlie Murphy, Al Shearer and David Alan Grier. He says the show is like nothing Sacramento has ever had – and will wow viewers. Taylor also is the creative force behind Nite Tales, an ironic, eerie TV series in the style of Twilight Zone soon coming to cable and hosted by hip-hop legend Flavor Flav.

UP ALL NITE is sure to create a buzz among people who’ve always dreamed of being on TV and being part of something new and exciting,” Taylor said. A segment on the open auditions will air on the UP ALL NITE show.

Everyone who auditions should show up at noon with two 15- to 20-second audition pieces showing your skills as a host and bring the following:

1) a headshot or photo with your name, phone and email on the back,

2) an entertainment resume OR a written paragraph and

3) sign a release at the event allowing UP ALL NITE to use the audition footage on the show, in promotions or for any other use.

The Lost World (1925)

This innovative and ground-breaking 1925 silent film featured amazing stop-motion animation from Willis O'Brien, years prior to his work on King Kong. O'Brien's work in this film stunned audiences in 1925 and was to forever change special effects and science fiction in film. While dated in comparison to today's use of CGI, the dinosaurs are still an impressive sight to see.

The tale opens on reporter Edward Malone (Lloyd Hughes), who wants to marry Gladys Hungerford (Alma Bennett). Gladys, however, only wants to marry a man of great deeds. So Malone, having asked his editor for an adventuresome assignment, is given the task of interviewing Professor Challenger (Beery), who is planning an expedition to a "lost world." Malone accompanies Challenger and his men to South America where, on a great plateau, they find a prehistoric world occupied by dinosaurs and ape-like men. Much adventure ensues, leading to the capture of one pissed off Brontosaurus to return to London with - and well, you pretty much know that dino chaos is bound to ensue if you do something like that!!

Please note that this is from 1925 and does include a character in blackface.

As usual I will not be able to make it to the meeting. �I am still prepared to edit. �Before you go on your shoot please contact me by phone or email. �I would like to pass on some requests for things you can do to make the editing more successful.�

Also if you are able to schedule the shoot for a Saturday I might be able to help out for at least part of the day.

Thanks

Sue and Bob White, Herb Bennett and Barbara Evans, Bernie Scoville and Florence Smith attended. Discussed were the issues regarding the shooting of "Ihe Midas Sac, of Flour. Russell Tanihana and his son Jonathan are willing to play the roles of father and son in the script.
Also discussed: where to shoot the father and son scenes. By blue/green screen or ussing the entrance of a local cemetary such as the one on Broadway, or go to the cemetary in Stockton and shoot everything there.
I phoned Erick Lorenz and he believes that the blue/green screen method is complicated and the chance of having a good result would be hard to achieve. This means that either going to Stockton Rural Cemetary where Gridley's statue is located or using Sacramento's Broadway Cemetary for the father/son scenes seems the two choices we will have to make. Erick will be available to work on the shoot the first four Saturdays in May. I will contact Russel Tanihana to see if he and Jonathan would be available on one of the May Saturdays.
