Masonic Temple Shoot, August 19, 2006

What a shoot!

An 8 AM call time for the film, "Immortally Yours", on Saturday, August 19th resulted in arising at 5:30 AM to get all the hair, makeup, and clothing just right. We had a lot to do in between scenes, and thoroughly enjoyed helping with the sign in of arriving extras.

Here are a few links to the cast members that had photos taken in between Opera scenes that day:

Katherine Hawkes, Our leading lady, Estelle Henderson; Daniel Goddard, Alex Stone, Our leading man; Olga Hawkes, Mrs. Henderson, mother of Estelle; Andrew Bowen, John Evans, fiance of Estelle; Maestro Dino Zonic, the conductor for IY's Opera scene; Maria Russo, our IY Opera Star from New York; Madalyn Lester, Nurse Lisa, and our IY Casting Director; Katrina Baker, Jeanne, and the IY Casting Assistant;

We returned Monday, August 21st for an all night shoot. The night shoots are exhausting, but to our surprise, all the action going on keeps everyone alert. If you have never done anything like this, you should really try to someday. It is truly a blast! ~ Riese

Immortally Yours - SYNOPSIS
Directed by Joe Tornatore
SYNOPSIS, Written by Katherine Hawkes

Vampires, century old bloodsuckers of the under-world, have plagued the earth for hundreds of years. Their lust and need for blood, in order to survive and live immortally, has terrorized humans both in fact and folklore.

A covenant of young, sophisticated vampires, led by Alex, a handsome, debonair man, who has a taste not only for blood, but also the finer things in life, attends an Opera, where he encounters Estelle, a beautiful upper-world woman. Her father is the top scientist, (George Henderson, played by Nick Jameson) and works for the Neil Longevity Foundation, which is currently researching an approach to immortality for their sponsor, the head of the upper-world Illuminati organization , Lady Margaret Neil.

The upper-world's Illuminati are keen competitors to the under-world's vampires, as they not only exploit humans through war, politics, poverty, disease, drugs, and finally their very flesh in the attempt to gain the access to immortality by taking body-parts. In addition, they have attempted, cloning, cryogenics and memory transformation but, nothing is working.

The Illuminati finally arrive at a solution, through the relationship that their young researcher has with the handsome Vampire. Alex has become desperately in love with Estelle, but does not want her to be part of the covenant. He would rather have mortality, exist as a man, produce a family, and live out his years with them in a normal manner, than be condemned to the immortality of a savage beast.

Through negotiations, the Illuminati promises they will find a cure for his vampirism in exchange for a bite of Immortality. Unfortunately, the conclusion is to neither sides liking, and an unholy war takes place between the Illuminati and the Vampires.
