In The Can: 'The End of Mara' Wraps NYC/NJ Shoot
During the last week of March, we shot The End of Mara and had an amazing shoot!
Over four days, we shot in Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey. In the woods, in an SRO, and at Riverside Park. And it seems we spent a lot of time shooting in the back of a truck.
We were filmmaking carnies: Setting up our tents, putting on a show, then packing it up and moving on to the next location.
We had a rockstar cast and crew who weren't dismayed by cold windy days, set crashers (we luv ya, Jukebox!), and a junkyard dog with a heart of gold. Thank you to each of our cast and crew for your dedication, hard work, and artistry.
You can check out our day-by-day behind-the-scenes photos at The End of Mara Facebook page and follow our progress as we complete the film: www.TheEndOfMara.com
And thank you for your continued support!
