My favorite aspect of shooting at ODR was the hot tub. With the exception of the opening few shots of the film, every single scene is handheld. Having that steamy soak every night made my body much happier than it ever has been on a physically demanding job. I certainly longed for it while shooting my next feature a few months later, which had tons of handheld as well. It was also a great place to socialize with the cast and crew after a tough day at the office. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to accommodate everyone on site at the ranch, so we rented a house nearby for the overflow. In a perfect world, however, we would’ve all been together. There is something magical about location shooting. A main element of that is the fact that people are living together under one big roof (or in this case many small birdhouse roofs).
OK, so I didn’t realize how much I have to say about the making of this film, because there is so much more to tell! I’m going to wrap this posting up, see if it gets a good response, and then continue where I left off. If you live in the Southland, be sure to come to our screening on the 19th of June!

looks really good great job guys
Its great to see normal people (meaning the actors) enjoying and embracing nudity as it should be, too many snipes and sneers about sequal activitys have given nudists a bad deal, hopefully after the making of this film people may see things a little different, well done to all involved xx
And if you are in Toronto on Sunday June 26th, come see the preview at the Fox Theatre. There are two shows: 5pm (clothing-free) and 7pm (clothing-optional)

It’s amazing how one can tell so many great memories all about making one movie! I wish I could go see a screening, although I most excited that you guys had fun and accomplish what you embarked! 😀 – Rj
thanks, paul.
i’m grateful to have spent so much time with the nudists at olive dell ranch. they are not a bunch of sexual deviants parading around naked for all to see. they are wonderful people who don’t want to wear clothing. it’s unfortunate that many people have negative associations with the naturist lifestyle. we hope the film spreads the good word about nudism to textiles and that people will have a more open mind about visiting these resorts.
it was quite a journey. plenty more stories to share, this posting is the tip of the iceberg…stay tuned!
yeah, there are many times in this business where you stop and ask yourself, “is this really my job?” just because it is your career, it doesn’t mean that it can’t be fun! working naked was kind of amazing, not gonna lie!
OH man, that sounds like so much hard work and so much fun at the same time. Always wanted to do something like this, movie that is, already able to, sometimes, do the nudity part. Putting the two together, wow.
