Inside the Secrets of Crafting a Micro-Budget Feature Film with Ashley Scott Meyers: Hollywood’s Best-Kept Formula Revealed
The name of my film is Lynda Flynn and it actually comes from a girl that I had a crush on in my very first job at the Annapolis Chart House when I was a teenager. I just always thought that the name had a ring to it, Lynda Flynn, and it spelled L-Y-N-D-A. So, it’s got two Y’s and a Y in the L or a Y in the Linda and a Y in the Flynn. So, I just thought it was a cool name and always sort of remembered that experience. I’ve worked in bars and restaurants. As I said, I worked my very, very first job really was at the Annapolis Chart House working as a dishwasher and I worked up a little bit there, but they had a bar. Obviously, they’re a big restaurant. So just being around that world, I’ve had other jobs in bars and restaurants as well over the years. So just knowing that world and sort of being familiar with that world was very, very helpful and I think it can give you a little bit of authenticity. A lot of the relationships, the romantic comedy, a lot of this stuff comes from my own dating experience here in LA when I first got here. So all of this was a very personal story for me.
