Shooting started on Alien Boy Monday, May 16 at Alien Studios out in the wilderness of Southeast Portland.
Director Brian Lindstrom and Director of Cinematography John Campbell shoo’ed out the resident raccoons and laid out the equipment last night. This morning they arrived with crew of Russ, John and Alan to start filming interviews for our film. Four informants to the story about what happened to James Chasse were interviewed today. Twenty more interviews will take place during this week.
Brian and company will shoot during a week in June and a week in July. We’re still actively seeking folks who knew Jim – especially from 1985 – 1995. If you have photographs of Jim, we’d like to use them for the film. Send them to the Mental Health Association of Portland, PO Box 3641, Portland, Oregon 97208. We’ll make copies and return them immediately.
From what I’ve heard from the set (very little) everything went well. Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow so Brian and John may temporarily decamp from the Quonset hut seen in this picture to an adjoining house.
Special thanks from the production team of Alien Boy to Perry Loveridge of Picture This and Joel at Gearhead Grip & Electric for our camera and equipment package. Everything’s working great!
