Updates from set. Casting, locations, BTS, occasional director's note.
The library, the basement, the school exterior, the field outside town, all confirmed for the June shoot. Local owners said yes, paperwork's clean, scout days set for May 18 and 19. Production designer is heading down ahead of pre-light to start dressing.
If you own a place in Maypearl, Italy, Waxahachie, or anywhere along FM-66 that fits a 1979 vibe, we're still looking for one specific small interior. Drop a line at hello@mckoolproductions.com.
The casting submission form is live at /contact#casting. Reading roles for BASIC through May. We're looking at non-union and emerging actors first; reps welcome too. The brief: three teenage leads, two adults, plus day players.
Selftapes accepted. We answer everyone within 48 hours, even if it's a no. Headshot link, reel if you have it, a note about availability for June 3 to 6, that's the whole submission.
