Additional Movie-Making Information

         Good morning readers! Planning a movie is a very complicated feat that not many can pull off successfully, that is becoming a stress in the creation of Offsides, but nonetheless, the work we have put into it has proved we have the means and talent to accomplish our goals. We are in the process of putting the finishing touches on our storyboard, to which we will post an update of our storyboard later this week. Because we want to ensure that our filming does not require us to improvise our scenes as much, as well as having scenes that make sense to the story, we have not yet been able to film yet. 

We have agreed upon filming at Miramar Regional Park for convenience of having open land to film our football movie, which is also in close proximity to most of our casts’ houses. We want to allow those working with us to have an easy time getting to the location without worrying about distance or unfamiliarity with the area, so this park will be the perfect place to produce at. 

Additionally, in terms of those we are working with, it is all involving friends we are close to and know we can work with. I would rather not disclose their names yet as some are still deciding whether they can be a part of the film, but stars such as yours truly, Davin Williams, and Randy Smith Jr. will appear in the upcoming film. We do want to create anticipation that we will have a large cast of characters to compliment the liveliness of the movie, ensuring they help guide the protagonist’s goals, challenges, and actions in the story. 

 Movies and shows that have inspired us to create our film, Offsides, involve classics such as All American, Tooth Fairy, The Blindside, Remember the Titans, and The Waterboy. As you know, these football movies have allowed the audience to indulge in inspirational stories about underdogs and those with complicated lives, as well as ones with silly circumstances to deal with, especially in The Waterboy with Adam Sandler.

 His role as Bobby Boucher skyrockets his college football team into winning games with his special talent of tackling even the heaviest of opponents. The comedy sells itself through the silly and unrealistic circumstances that a waterboy would place himself into, which is the type of comedy we want to present our audience with Offsides. 

    That is all I have to discuss with you this week, tune in next time to find out our experiences getting onto the field and filming for the first time!
