Would be an interesting story about the production sound and post production process for this drama. Fantastic style (photography, costumes). I grab the credits from IMDb Dennis Towns - Production Sound Mixer Shawn Allen - Boom Operator Alfredo Viteri - Boom Operator Karl Wasserman - Sound Utility Reading an article on Indiewire, says 87% was shooted with single camera. You can notice that from cutting, but the transitions from actors, it's just perfect.

Had the great pleasure of working with Mr Loggia twice during my film career. Once with our host JW on "Officer and a Gentleman" and again on Prizzi's Honor". What a voice. Good guy. We did this scene on day one of the film. RIP Robert. CrewC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=213W7mLSZE4

http://news.yahoo.com/former-sen-fred-thompson-had-tv-film-roles-231012877.html Wielage and I worked with the Senator once (did we do two, Marc ?), and we got the "only address him as Senator Thompson" spiel from the producers. I don't know If Wielage's memory is different, but I recall the Senator being quite cooperative with the wiring process, very professional, and quite gracious. Didn't really agree with his politics, but I thank him for his service. RIP

Bruce Nazarian passed away from a heart attack this past Friday. Most here may know his name from the days he operated a post facility (Gnome Sound) at the Lantana building, and later Magnolia in Burbank. He was not only an accomplished engineer, but also a talented musician, who began his career in Detroit. To his credit, Bruce stuck around the Motor City longer than I did, trying to remain engaged in the music business after Berry Gordy unceremoniously pulled up stakes and moved Motown to LA. Much more here, in a better tribute than I could possibly do: https://larryjordan.com/blog/in-memoriam-bruce-nazarian/ -S

One of the best things about wiring people up is that theres a chance for me to observe them and get to know them. On this current food show, by the time a restaurant scene is lit, and the producer is rounded up, I have frequently had a full conversation with interesting folk from around the globe. My dashing about, concerned only with footage, not very aware of how she impacts other people, and not very adept at actually reading other people producer is another story. She sits down, slaps on a very forced smile, and jumps right in. When she wrangles customers to be on camera, she purposely undersells the level of committment and time necessary, in order to convince peopl…

Bummed out. I met Catherine at the start of my career in 77 on John Cassavetes "Opening Night". She was the camera assistant on that film. She is better known as the Log Lady on Twin Peaks.
