Movie Shoot at Carino
The movie shoot on Sunday for A.V. was a great success! We had over 20 people show up ready to act! They each got contracts and were directed by creator Steve Brown. Some had to just sit, some had to talk on the phone, some had to walk and get run into by the lead actress, some had to order coffee at the bar, some had to stand outside and walk inside on queue.
