A professional photographer (read: high school student) came by recently at my behest and snapped a few hundred production stills: snapshots of us at work in the filming process. Thought y’all would enjoy a few of them!

This woman, another Dorothy, is “in her 90s!” as she put it, and she still breezes around, running her own business of making greeting and holiday cards and selling them at “The Nook”–the little shop at TVN.
The intensity. The professionalism. The pure Ashley in her natural environment.
The suaveness. The determination. The vertical hair flip. The pure Jared in his natural environment.
Suffice it to say, things can tend to go over Dorothy’s head!
Our photographer Alan came back a second time and shot more stills, but we haven’t had a chance to go through them yet. We’ll post some highlights when they come in. He’ll probably come back one more time in the future, too.
The purpose of production stills is that for marketing and press kit (media/promotional kit for the project to present it as a product), people like to get behind-the-scenes glimpses of films while in production. Film festivals almost always require production stills if your film gets accepted, for instance. But regardless, we also just think it’s really cool to see ourselves in action!
