And, that's a Wrap on Wayward!

After 9 months of Pre-Production, Wayward filmed Tuesday, August 13- Sunday, August 18 in Blacksburg, Roanoke and Forest, VA! The cast and crew put in nearly 50 hours of set time and 15 hours of driving time over the course of the 6 day shoot! Together we used 6 cans of Deep Woods Off, over 20 gallons of Gatorade, 15 gallons of water, 300 makeup wipes, 100 bobby pins, collected 100s of chigger bites and few ticks! But, in that time and despite the heat, nature's obstacles and challenges of late night shooting in the woods and in water, this amazing crew of 18 and cast of 19 managed to create beautiful history and had so much fun doing it!

We are so amazed and astounded to have a fabulous creative team with Seasoned Film Industry Professionals, a Costumer, Hair and Makeup Artist, Special Effects Artist, as well as amazingly talented Up and Coming Film Pros whose passion and drive were evident on set every day! Our cast of talent is also comprised of seasoned pros and young, up and coming actors, all of which approached this job as professionals, coming to set each day fully prepared and ready for their scenes. And, our amazing Background actors came to set ready to tell the story of a 1781 party, and did so convincingly!

What started out as a simple story of a family divided, conceived to be told mostly through dialogue and sound with a tiny cast and crew, grew to be something I could not have predicted only a few months ago. To say I'm astounded and amazed is an understatement! This story seemed to have wings of its own and it flew! Please enjoy some behind the scenes pictures of the filming! I'll keep you posted as it goes into post-production and as information comes available for our premiere! Thank you so much for all of the support! I can not WAIT to share this beautiful product with you!
