1 Busy Week with CA Film Crew

Prior to this point, Thor Ramsey and Torry Martin wrote our script and most legwork had been done on securing our locations and actors, etc.

DAY 1: Leaving about 7:30 am Friday, February 17, we headed to Redlands, CA, about a two-hour trek.

Shooting took place at Kimberly Crest House and Gardens,
