Pick-Ups day for RIOT ACT provides HHSE with opportunity to shoot E.P.K. Interviews

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - the first pass edit is completed for the feature film, THE RIOT ACT, and director Devon Parks decided to shoot some additional scenes for pacing and continuity last Friday. This day of "pick-ups" occurred inside one of the period-restored Rail Cars of the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad in Springdale, Arkansas. After the full day of shooting, HHSE Director of Marketing DESIREE GARNIER and videographer JOSH IRWIN were able to get lengthy interviews with director Devon Parks and Producer-Leading Lady Lauren Sweetser. 

These interviews will provide useful material for National Broadcast Entertainment Shows and general media as part of the film's "Electronic Press Kit" (E.P.K.) in support of this summer's theatrical release.  This footage will also become one of the sources for the "making of" featurette that will appear on the DVD and BluRay copies of THE RIOT ACT.

This film looks superb, and seems well positioned for commercial success!

Overcast skies, drizzly rain and muddy streets added to the character and grit of THE RIOT ACT - but posed no problems for the crew in getting complex dolly-tracking shots.
