The journey began Friday afternoon when we packed the car with two bolex's, a tripod, wheelchair, light kit, 4 film majors, and various unmentionables. After stretching a 1 hour and 20 minute car ride into 2 hours and 30 minutes, we finally ended up in Danbury, CT.
We began shooting around 10:30 and had the first scene shot in about an hour. We then packed up the car again and headed to the second location: the sidewalk in front of the emergency room. We unloaded the bolex and the wheelchair and got ready to set up our shot when things began to get interesting. The camera that had more than half a roll left in it would not wind. We ended up placing the camera in the car and loading the second one.
Once we finally were ready to shoot the scene, the security guard came out and told us we had to leave. A few college kids with a film camera and a wheelchair were scaring the employees as they walked out at one in the morning...
