New Rheem Marquee

More late night shooting with Nico Van Den Berg (Director of Cinematography) and Adam Reeves (Director).

After sunset, Nico and Adam were seen running around the Bay Area shooting apartments, office buildings, homes, restaurants, and this great shot of a special marquee on the front of the Rheem Theatre in Moraga announcing one of the events that takes place in the film and was supported by a GREAT outpouring of local extras in the area to fill the audience seats! Thank you, Rheem Theatre for doing this! (more…)
