Yes...you read the title right. These are the weird things I think about during my daily life. We have finally wrapped up filming on "What Happens in the Woods, Stays in the Woods". It was a really great time but also very tiring. I think everyone was ready to be done by mid Sunday. The cherry on the cake came when we actually got to see the video put together in its finished format. While watching it though, and watching the others react to the comedy it made me wonder how it would be received outside of our small group.
We all know each other pretty well and the majority of the people working on the project are related. Our yardstick for comedy is pretty much the same. Not to mention that if you were to show the project in Skamania County it would probably get much the same reaction as we were giving it. Nothing is funnier than seeing someone from the city come into our tiny little town and surrounding forests and try to make their way around. Talk about sticking out like a sore thumb! However, this film will be playing in Hood River County in Oregon. While Skamania Co. and Hood River Co. are only separated by 30 minutes and the Columbia River, I couldn't help but wonder how it would be perceived in a community that is actually large enough to have a Walmart. Especially since we went out of our way to make the male lead the stereotypical Hood River-ite. The cultures between the two communities are vastly different. In Skamania Co. there are big trucks with loud engines, in Hood River you have Prius's running around town. In Skamania footwear is Romeos or Cowboy boots, in Hood River its flip flops, high heals or loafers. I guess we'll know how it goes when it's screened on the 9th of this month. One can only hope that those people watching it in Hood River will get the comedy of the movie. I sure think its hilarious!
