Uncover the Mysterious Power of the Ladybug Effect with Greg Porper – SYS Podcast Episode 535 Exclusive!
Just, I’ve met so many people throughout the years running this podcast. And it just feels like this could be a great way to sort of just celebrate SYS and support SYS just by having people come out and be extras in the film. You know, film is forever. So, you know, once we shoot this film, it’ll be great. You know, we’ll be able to look back on it. And these are the folks that you’ll listen to the podcast and it’s sort of some context to the film. I’ve purposely scheduled the, I need extras. There’s two days I need a lot of extras. And then there’s a number of other days that I just need, you know, one or two, three extras here or there. But the two days I need the extras the most, big days with like some actual, you know, five, ten, eight, eight people, 15 people is November 11th and November 12th. November 11th is kind of our climactic scene at the bar. So, you know, we’ll try and get at least 10, 15 people there. I’m going to try and have a band as well. So, it’ll be a little bit of a party atmosphere. The downside, and this is not an insignificant downside. You know, in order to shoot at this bar, obviously, this guy that owns this bar is running a bar. He’s running a business. So, we’re shooting outside of his regular business hours. And I think he’s open from like 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. So, or maybe it’s, maybe he’s open till midnight, something like that, 2 p.m. to midnight or 3 p.m. to midnight, something like that. In any event, we’re going in from 1 a.m. to 1 p.m. So it is, it’s a significant ask, obviously, for people to get up at, you know, midnight or 1 a.m. and show up at a bar in Ventura. I definitely think that’s going to be a challenge. But hopefully there’s some people out here, as I said, listening to the podcast that want to come out and support this project and just be a part of it. And, you know, we get immortalized, you know, shooting this. And that’s kind of how I pitch this to the people that own these locations as well, is that, you know, we’re going to shoot this bar in Ventura. We’re going to shoot the logo and the sign, and we’re going to kind of make it a part of the movie. So, it’ll be some, you know, potential publicity for this bar owner and the other locations as well. I extend the same courtesy to them. We’ll shoot, we have a little boutique clothing store. We’re going to go into it just, it’s about a half day. And that’s right here, as I said, in the Agora Hills area. Real nice lady. And I just called her and just pitched, hey, you know, you ever consider having a film? Would you consider having someone shoot a film? And she was very nice. And I pitched her the same thing. Hey, we could shoot your sign, your logo. We could kind of incorporate it into the movie. Oh yeah, that sounds good. So again, just trying to sort of give some context, give a little bit of value back to these folks that are being very gracious in trusting me to come in and shoot a movie in their location. So as I said, if you’re interested in coming out here and being a part of this, definitely consider it. It’ll be fun. I mean, these sets, it’s a low budget set, but we’ll have some food and, you know, you’ll get to just sort of see how a movie like this exists and is produced and works. So especially if you’re trying to think about potentially maybe shooting your own film, but I’d love to have everybody. I mean, as far as, you know, extras, you know, I can guarantee you, I’m not going to get overwhelmed with people.
