Hey everyone! First off let me give a huge thank you to those that have donated so far. To give you an idea of where your money is going I, your humble director, shall be posting some updates as we go.
Today was a big day for us, as it was our day to figure out costuming for our lead actress, Ruth. The character she's playing, Amy, is a 50's Rockabilly/Psychobilly kind of chick, and her costume needs to reflect that. The main thing we needed for her was a leather jacket, and we found a pretty nice one, that just needs to be aged now to look worn in.
The rest of what we picked up today was props. We got a rosary for Hank, a real cheap trashy looking wooden one, with a poorly drawn picture of Jesus on the cross. Exactly the kind of tasteless thing the character would have. The big thing though was Amy's custom zippo lighter. We found a great engraving place and got both sides done, making it almost identical to the lighter described in the script, but with a little bit of extra flair. I've included a photo of it, because it turned out really well.
This Thursday will be our dress rehearsal, and I'll make sure we get photos of all our actors in costume (although not make up/hair) and show you guys. What we've got so far has really helped already, and saved us from having to go out of pocket for all this stuff, or not have it at all. We're going to be shooting soon, and some of those expenses will be getting covered by myself and the other crew in lieu of doing things like paying for our own food, bills, and rent. So once again, anything you can give helps, and if you can refer friends and family to help us out as well we'd really appreciate that.
Thank you again, from the bottom of all our hearts.
