I had the privilege of working as part of the crew with Gary & Sue. This film differs from the original concept because several of the original cast left. Because of this, filming went on much longer than originally anticipated and culminated in a warehouse on Pulaski Highway in Baltimore. There was no air conditioning while we were filming during the summer of 2006. The temperature reached over 100 on some days, but the entire cast/crew never lost their 'cool'. They were professional to the max and I feel lucky to have worked with them. It was in fact, a blast. They all gave over and above considering the conditions under which they worked. And yes, it was trying for the actors to work against a blue screen versus another actor for the scenes including "the stars". Sue appreciates your kind words referencing the 'poverty row' look and texture she conceived for the look. True aficionados of this genre will applaud her efforts and truly understand the 'in-jokes'. Part of her goal is to awaken coming generations to these nearly lost gems. As she has said, "if I bring a smile to someone, I've been successful".
