Yesterday, a film crew shot a chase scene in Maureen and Max's backyard. The scene was for the TV series CRASH. Max was home to watch the filming which went really fast. The crew was pleased they had two big dogs (featured in my blog post ) However, since they weren't vicious enough, they brought in two mean looking pit bulls to threaten the stunt man and the actor as they jumped the fench on one side, ran through the yard and hopped over the other fence into the alley next door. They rehearsed a time or two, shot the scene and left. For allowing them to use their yard, they got a check for $250. Pretty easy money!
Maureen and Max live right down town Albuquerque, just a block from a homeless shelter. They have a constant parade of hobos in front of their house. Check out the burglar bars on the windows and front porch. Albuquerque is a popular movie town. They have shot 167 movies, tv shows and other projects in the last couple of years. There are always casting calls on the radio for 'extras' (small acting jobs.) It's not hard to find streets blocked off for a film shoot around town. And everyone has a celebrity sighting story. Personally, I have pictures of John Travolta and Mel Gibson. Ask me and I'll show them to you. :-)
