Yesterday we resolved a dilemma that was troubling us, the finding of an alley location that is very important to our story.  There are some great looking alleys downtown, but proximity to traffic and the public make them tough to use in our tale of a deserted city.

One of our actors, Antonio Lexerot, had previously scouted out an alley in the Avenues that was never used.  Well, we went there and it works great for our needs.  Not only does it look good and offer privacy, but has many vantage points for shots, due to a bridge spanning it.  Even better than that is the manager, who is letting us use the thing whenever we want.  A former actor himself, he actually shot a movie there 20 years ago!  All in all, a sweet location should serve us well.

A busy day today--first day of principal photography in less than three hours (not in the alley).
