ASSISTED LIVING shoot (episode 8)

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Just looking at footage from the recent shoot for Assisted Living episode 8 (and parts of 9 & 10) last week. We returned back to the apartment briefly where Dustin returns home and is welcomed back by his sister after her hissy fit. It’s been a couple episodes since working with Grace McPhillips who plays “Sarah” and it’s a dream. The only downside is being cramped back in what’s a drab apartment set. We introduced a new character “Daryl” played by comedian Darius Kennedy. He’s another Stand-Up Comedian, and Dustin’s only “black” friend. They bump into each other and catch up and Dairus invites him to perform his stand-up. It also gives him someone his own age to bounce jokes off of. (this will make more sense after people watch the episodes). Anyway, we’ll try to sneek in another shoot outside before winter really hits but either way we have a two month supply of episodes ready to go.

ASSISTED LIVING episodes 3 & 4

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

We filmed two new episodes for “Assisted Living” over the weekend focusing on Dustins character and his friendship with Bob. Without giving too much away, Dustin hasn’t hit rock bottom yet but the light is at the end of the tunnel and I can picture Dustin venturing out and talking to other women as he starts to get over his break up with Heather.

Here are some photos from the shoot.

Day Two of filming “Assisted Living”

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

We filmed day Two of “Assisted Living” on Sunday, what a trip. Dusin had scenes with his “ex-girlfriend” character played by Sarah Nitz. Her scenes featured Dustin getting thrown out of their house along with some hot flashback scenes. From there we moved to the street where things got crazy. Dustin hangs with a homeless man, played by Bob Farster and Dustin goes off on every subject in a hilarious tirade that will hopefully be as funny on film as it was in person.

We’re also thinking about titles for the show and have a few concerns that “Assisted Living” might sound like a nursing home. If you have any ideas, post a response.

Day One of filming “Assisted Living”

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

The title of this web series may also change but “Assisted Living” starring Dustin White & Grace McFadden began filming in Chicago today. The series chronicles down on his luck Dustin after he gets thrown out of his house by his girlfriend after she cheats on him. With no place to go, he ends up on his sisters couch and befriends a homeless person who is the only one besides his new guinnee pig that will listen to him.
