Hey guys! Have you seen the
UNDER THE NEVER SKY Book Trailer?
Filming this was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had. My friend--
the amazing Roman White--was the driving force behind it. When I asked him for some help with a trailer, I expected a thirty-second clip with some photos, maybe a little bit of voice-over. To say the end result blew me away is the understatement of the year.
We shot this in Los Angeles a few weeks ago during two days in a studio, and at a local park. The actors, extras, and crew were generous, talented and
so much fun to spend time with. Thank you
Madison McMillan (Aria), Wyatt Nash (Perry),
Bryan Lillis (Roar), Jonathan Vane (Hess), Liam Ackerman (Cinder), Rocky (Talon), Pedro Castro (DP/The Spaniard), Gray (Make-up/The Mask-Maker), Sammy, Tiffany, Rose, Kermit, Frankie, Betsy, Lia, Talia, Michael, Luca, Roman, Roman, Roman. You were all
amazing!
Some of you have reached out to me with questions about why Perry doesn't have long hair, or why Aria isn't wearing her army fatigues.
(I love that you know the story so well!) The answer is that we had a limited budget,
sadly. If you want to see the world and characters depicted to their fullest, cross your fingers for the green light by Warner Bros., who have optioned the film rights.
No, really. Cross them. Please. ; )
I'll be posting a few behind-the-scenes photos of the shoot over the next week. The first one is of the cast, Roman and yours truly.
(I need to make a disclaimer that it was freezing and raining in Los Angeles that day, which is why I'm dressed in layers of "wardrobe." Because.... Well. I just needed to say that...) The second was taken during the studio shoot.

| Studio day! Our "Perry" was actually a skilled archer. Look at that form! |
I've uploaded a few more to
Facebook page, and head on back tomorrow for more photos and tidbits about the shoot. If there's something specific you'd like to know, leave a question in the comments below!
