There is so much to say about it, I don't know where to begin.
I'll start by saying this whole filming thing came about when this awesome and amazing cinematographer married into the family--Paul. If you want to see some of his work, go to his website and check it out. I especially recommend the History Channel one--with the old guys and guns.
When he said he would help me do a trailer, I had no idea that we would be shooting a real piece of film. This was big time stuff, in my opinion. Real actors, real movie-making equipment, even a stunt driver and weapons specialist!
Since we didn't have a real Hollywood budget, we used a lot of friends and family. My son was on dolly, I helped with the directing, my sister in law did craft services, and my nieces did the fake blood, set dressing, take-marker clacking, and my sons and nephews and husband moved tons of equipment, lighting, props, dolly tracks, fog machines and light reflectors. Whew! It was a crazy weekend!
I don't have all the stills and behind the scenes photos yet from the official photographer, but here are a few I snapped with my phone.
Mason Mac as Christian. Yes, they are making snow while filming.

What's left of the crew after wrap on Saturday night.
As soon as I get more stills, I'll put them up. And then hopefully we can expect to see the trailer in a few weeks.
That is seriously cool. Now I can't wait to see the trailer!
