I mentioned a couple posts back that some friends and I directed and shot a short film in Healdsburg: It is a story about two writer friends surviving after the apocalypse. My friend Cory Loykasek and his writing partner Robb Boardman and I wrote the general story over a series of lunch meetings in 2009 and then they created the screenplay together. Robb and I directed the short together. It’s a personal project for all of us and, in-between all of our professional and other personal obligations, we hope to have it edited before the end of the year.

Cory played one of the leads (Big Spoon)… 

Donny Davanian (R) played the other lead, Short Straw, and Greg Edwards (L) played the main supporting role of Walton…

Robert Weiss played a supporting role as Cult Member. It was constantly a challenge while shooting to crop out the beautiful vineyards around us and to make the paradise-like Healdsburg look “apocalyptic”…
