For those of you who have worked on a film before you know that the production period of a film can be pushed for many reasons. The filming of Cowboy Smoke was originally pushed for financial reasons and now it has been pushed due to the weather. As we near August the temperatures will be close to 105 in the shade. In addition to this we will be filming close to the coast, so it’ll not only be hot - but extremely humid. Throw mosquitoes in the mix due to the recent heavy rains and the decision was a no brainier. The production is slated to begin the second week of September.

It has been a long road but I feel really good about September. I spoke with Matt (who is currently in New York filming It Takes A Thief) and he will be able to get the time off for a September shoot – Mike and Chad will also be able to make it. This added time will help with preparations. This weekend I will be back down at the ranch where Fagan and I will be discussing what’s left as far as pre-production. In addition to this I will get to see the quarters where the cast and crew will be living for the month long shoot. More to come.
