HIT 'N STRUM - STUNT DAY!

Posted by 4branch at 11:57 PM on October 07, 2009 Comments comments (0)

Today our multitalented lead, Kirk Caouette, came out of retirement and performed a kickass car hit stunt for Hit 'n Strum!  As we set up the cameras this morning, the energy of anticipation was palpable on our set (back alley of Larrivee Guitars building on Cordova St. E.).  


And we were not disappointed.  As Kirk spectacularly smashed into the car windshield, the sound of crunching bones and shattering glass sent shivers down everyone's spine...  But shivers soon turned into shouts of glee as we realize that Kirk was okay and that we had just captured one of the greatest moments in our film!


The Province reporter Glen Schaefer came by to witness Kirk in action - keep and eye out for a write-up in the Sunday edition!

We have reached the halfway mark and things keep getting crazier!  Our little project has become quite a tour de force, considering how tiny our crew is - but what a wonderful, hard-working team they are!


Please check out our photo gallery to watch the progress.


We would like to extend a thank you to the following Vancouver businesses who have so graciously opened their doors for our shoot!

HIT 'N STRUM - Day One!

Posted by 4branch at 09:42 PM on September 14, 2009 Comments comments (0)

"Hit 'n Strum" is officially in principal photography!  The day started off a little too overcast for our taste but in true Vancouver fashion, has turned into a gorgeous sunset!  Cast and crew spent all day banging out shots in good old Gastown amongst the local color. 


A big big big thank you to Mark Brand of Boneta Restaurant for letting us use one of their booths as a makeup/hair station!


Check out fresh stills in the photo gallery.

Hey. Wake up and smell the Coffee fellow Vancouverites. Our little city is growing up. For thirty years now Hollywood has come to our city to make their films. Vancouver has doubled for... well... just about every major city on the planet. It's time we stopped being so shy about who we are. 4Branch Productions isn't shy at all. We proudly feature local color, local writers, local musicians and we're not bashful to say that anything Hollywood can do, we can do better, with less attitude, and more heart.


And possibly a little more rain... oh well we can't win them all
