So we just wrapped on principal photography of our drama/comedy feature "Lebanon". We shot the film on the RED one camera and were very pleased with working with it. You can view the film website at www.lebanonpamovie.com Thank you for your support.

within cities some streets cost money some don't. We needed to shoot in a park and the park in the center of the city would have cost us $2500 but we found a park with a similar look that required no permit and no payment. If you need to block a street then money comes into play. Just talk to...

in philadelphia where I work the film office is very helpful. Contact your local film office and let them know when you are shooting and where you want to shoot and they will assist you in securing the location. There might be fees (permits, police if locking off a street etc) but it's better...

if you can't find an effects house or anyplace on your own call the local grip house. They shold know who you should call. Also lots of places like that offer a discount for students. If at a loss a bunch of PAs and garden hoses work in a pinch.

thanks for checking it out. Hey, thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Yeah, people who see the trailer say it reminds them of 28 day later, but the story is different. It is more of a vampire film. Hopefully it will make getting our feature out there a little easier. Thanks again for...
