LITM Day Eight: Manhattan Beach
26 May 2009
My eighth day of shooting (see explanation about where day seven went) took place in Manhattan Beach over Memorial Day weekend. It’s the second time I’ve been down there, and I gotta say: it’s a lovely place. The beach is nice and the homes inland have a great style to them.
We shot a scene from Look in the Mirror where Lonnie and I pull over for a bite on the way to my big golf weekend. The generous people at Ocean View Cafe let us use their patio. The weather was ideal … when we started. And then the sun started to go down. Right after we wrapped, I began to shiver uncontrollably.
Again, it was a pleasure to work with Rebecca and a good crew. Thanks, everybody! About a half dozen days of filming remain, but this may be the only shot in right out there in public (not my favorite thing). DP Sam responded to questions from passers-by about what we were filming with, “A mayonnaise commercial.” A great answer, I thought! One girl told us that she’d done a ketchup commercial. Now all we need is the mustard….
