The Wine Ride
Jun/100
We biked 30 miles through the Willamette Valley on Sunday, tasting Oregon wines and searching for the perfect bottle to offer as an incentive for investors in The Wine Movie, which we officially start filming tonight with our first interview.
In September we plan to launch our campaign on Kickstarter, and investors at the $250 level will receive a bottle of the best of the 24 wines we tasted last Sunday.
It also helps to immerse yourself in the landscape. When you travel by bike, you start to see things differently. You get an immersive perspective, rather than just a look at a place out the window.
Great location
Feb/100
It seems that we weren’t the only ones to latch on the Fiechter House in the Finley Wildlife Refuge as an amazing location to shoot a film. A Portland Filmmaker, Edward Davee, set his film there, too. The old farm house is perfect for his early 1900′s period piece, shot in 16mm in black and white. Looks like it should be a fantastic film when it’s finished.
And here’s a still of the Fiechter house from when we were scouting locations for a place to use as Jake’s house. Of course, we decked it quite differently than Davee’s film, with empty cans of Pabst strewn across the porch, broken lawn chairs, a cooler and pairs of old boots. Not to mention Rhett the dog.
