We have been processing through intense production meetings and communicating via e-mail a lot since some of the company do not live in San Diego. Here are some quotes from the madness that is Poorplayers.


"Langly I love your enthusiasm." N. Kennedy"
(Earthquake, 10:50AM)" A. Schaar
"8th Season... "Inauspicious Stars" is the season title!" R. Baird, N. Kennedy
"Slowly, Slowly Catchy Monkey!" M. Leslie
"Its a lot of work but it can be done." R. Baird
"Meghan, here are the directions. Call me when...I mean IF...you get lost." N. Kennedy
"I'd rather meet somewhere without the distractions..." N. Kennedy...to which Meghan responds: "Please don't say the woods, please don't say the woods "
"Where can we get a bigger crew?" R. Baird
"I'm somebody's bitch!" J. Lang
"The process of setting up the shopping cart is apparently quite simple." N. McDonald







We are currently in the middle of photographic research to find inspiration for the upcoming Romeo and Juliet promotional photo shoot. These are just a few photos that Nick Kennedy (the director) and Nico Ricoy (photographer) have been looking at.
