By sundown we had shot a movie.

We spent the rest of the day’s energy on burritos and ping pong. Consensus is: being outside is awesome, thinking on the fly is awesome, playing the Fugees during mos shots is awesome, and also so are friends. Throwing Pop Rocks at your friends’ cars isn’t always a good idea, but sometimes can be a fun trick.

Look!

This prep list also might give you a decent feel for the movie’s look and aesthetic.  Sort of, anyway:
