I've been doing some stuff for "The Tonight Show" called "Kevin Smith's Roadside Attractions. It's kind of a mini-travelogue of stuff to see along the highways and bi-ways of America if you're driving cross country for the holidays. The first segment features places you can visit in upstate New York, and, unless the stuff we shot Wednesday and Thursday is dog-shit (which I don't think it is), the segment should air on December 12th. Andy McElfresh, the "Tonight Show" writer/segment producer I was working with on the piece is back in L.A. now cutting it together (huge thanks and props to him, Scott Atwell, Kevin the camera-man, Ken the sound guy, and Izzy, who kept it all together).
But that's something I'm acting as more of a host for. In addition to that piece (and hopefully the others like it that'll follow, if this one's received well), the "Tonight Show" asked me to make a short film. It's a pretty cool honor, as they've never aired a short film before. We're shooting it next week in town.
Here's where you local folks come in handy.
We need bodies and cars. Well, really, bodies IN cars. The short takes place in traffic, so we need to produce some traffic ourselves. If you live in the Monmouth County area, and you want to be involved, here are the particulars: we'll be shooting on Thursday Dec 6, 2001, starting at 7:00am. We should be able to let folks go by noon the absolute latest.
I can't promise you it'll be an action-packed morning, but I can promise that, if you come to help us out, I'll put a song from your CD on the soundtrack.
Just kidding.
