This morning during my walk, I saw some street parking coned off, while a few security guards were mulling about. I hadn’t put together what was going on until I saw the honeywagon. Wait a minute, could it be….
Yes. It was a small movie crew getting ready to shoot some independent film. What’s a honeywagon you ask?
It’s a trailer that actors and crew members use to get ready in. I asked a P.A. (production assistant) what the movie was called, and he told me, but I forget already. But I think they are supposed to be back tomorrow, – I’ll ask again.
I was surprised they were filming in this area, because location wise, the Bay Area is considered to be too expensive to film in and the residential block they were using could have been “anywhere, USA”. So why film here when it’s cheaper to film in Canada? These are the questions in my head.
Then I was reminded of a dream I had a few years ago. I had a dream that I woke up in the middle of the night in my apartment and there was a movie crew filming right outside my second story apartment window. They were on ladders, putting up lights and everything. At first I was annoyed because I just thought, “Thanks alot guys, was anyone gonna tell me about this? I would have liked to have been in this movie!” But then then all of a sudden, they turned the cameras towards me, right into my apartment and then I realized, I was in the movie! And then I thought, “Now, that’s more like it!” It was a good dream.
After work today I went over to a friend’s place to get reacquainted with a couple of quirky felines. I start cat sitting again tomorrow. I hope they warm up to me.
