What is the status of the film?
One of the more difficult challenges is finding locations to film. The primary location is the vineyards of Pott Winery in the hills outside Napa. www.pottwine.com The rustic views aid in the isolation of our characters in their fight to survive.
We're in the process of securing two more actors for the film in September. We have produced about 25% of the script. This is mostly B-roll and insert shots to add to the production value of the story. But, with those actors we have on board we've done interior shots and some external at our primary location.
