A few notes from the making of John Bock’s film shot in the High Desert last month:

• The crew mostly ate Denny’s and pizza. In fact the plzza boxes came in quite handy and ended up serving as cue cards for the filming.
• One night during the filming the crew tried to go through the McDonald’s drive-through on foot. (It was after the counter had already
  closed.) McDonald’s would not serve them so they went and got the car. When they pulled up to the drlve-through window the amount of food they wanted to order exceeded McDonald’s per car limit. So, the crew ended up going through the drive through several different times to fulfill the order.
• John used a variety of locations to film Including Joshua Tree, the Palms (where The Sibleys played clothed in red satin costumes which John had tailor made for each of them), Jack Pierson’s pool and Andy’s land on God’s Way love.
• When John went out to the desert In late January to scout for locations, he met a local at the Palms. It was 10:45AM and hew as sitting out back drinking a Pabst Blue Ribbon. John told him we were looking for the owners and he told us the bar did not open until 11:00AM. (I guess he brought his own beer until the bar opened). He then proceeded to tell us the bar hours for every day of the week. He allowed us to take his photo. He was very sweet and helpful-
  a true character that is better than any you could ever write or imagine.
