Crew
The crew for Recession comes from a new group of young filmmakers who I am working with to form a production company called Godbrother Films (www.godbrotherfilms.org). The group began when my son's Godbrother, Milton, who is a senior in High School (my son is 3) asked me to work with him on a documentary he was putting together to address his take on the welfare system. The documentary came out well, and the crew began to grow. William joined up for this shoot, and Mitchell was a part of the welfare documentary. It is a great crew and I love the opportunity to provide an opportunity for youth from Chicago to express themselves through film. The next story is coming from one of the guys on the crew. (here are some shots from the filming day).

Cast & Location
Cast & Location
In the case of this film, the cast and location are very closely related. When I approached P&S Restaurant in Chicago about using their location for the film, it became clear that the best cast would be the staff and regulars from the restaurant. Britney and Mary were extremely helpful in coordinating for the day of filming, and Les and Steve jumped right in on the day of the shoot. Thanks everyone! Here are some shots from the day.

looks like I'm the first to leave a review!
first off - a big congrats on getting your film submitted!
spoilers....
i thought the faded 1970's look was a neat choice to present the town. neat intro with the sign and with the definition of recession.
i didnt see the end coming. the old man stiffed the check! jeez! one problem i had - i didn't really root for anyone in the piece. i did feel bad for the waitress but maybe not as much as i would've if you played her character out a bit more. she obviously works hard as you showed her running from here to there - which is kinda off considering there were only two customers in the place.
maybe you wanted only to depict the end results of a nasty recession in where an old man needs to steal to feed himself. then in that end, the film works.
again, a big congrats on submitting!
