In the beginning...

So this is the first post to our new blog on the making of The Adventures of Food Boy. We'll use this as a way to keep everyone updated on how things are progressing and our ongoing adventures as we produce this film.

Marc Mangum, our producer and writer, arrived here in Utah last week and has set up shop in a house in Provo that we have named "The Palace" because, if you saw it, you'd say, "Now that's a palace." The Palace will also be home base for our production office this summer.

Dane Cannon, our director, is so focused on reading the script over and over that he has been turning down dates on an almost daily basis. Maybe after this project is over he'll be able to find a girlfriend.

We spent most of last week in casting sessions with our savvy casting director, Jennifer Buster. We were pleasantly surprised at the level of talent that came through--very few of the auditions looked like the disasters you might see at the beginning of American Idol.

Peace out.
