June 17: Shooting At The Blue Light

June 1st, 2008

It looks like we’ve nailed down Tuesday, April 17 to shoot the opening scenes for West Texas Vampires: The Awakening at The Blue Light in Lubbock, Texas. If your memory serves you right, you’ll know how to get there, because it’s where we held our casting call! If you came to the casting call, you are invited! If you signed up on this website, you’re invited! If you didn’t do anything but you still want to come, you are invited!

My plan is to shoot a bar full of people having a good time while the Charlie Shafter Band plays. I’ll be focusing on scenes with my five lead student actors - you may remember them from the teaser as “The Lubbock County Five!”

For those of you who are regulars at The Blue Light, it will be a weird night. We’ll be shooting footage of the same couple of songs over and over again. It might feel a bit…weird. We’ll also be directing the crowd quite a bit. So you’ll have to follow a lot of directions.

But hey. You get to be in a motion picture. How cool is that?
