you have shared with me your script. And it sounds like you are having all your shots on Turn Island. Have you given any thought to your opening scene location. I was thinking shoving off the dock at friday harbor might make a good intro? other boats, people, fishermen, etc...before leaving civilization? Main character reminiscing or going through some thoughts in his head etc...

Yet to be located
This is for those items we haven't got our hands on yet.
1. Electric trolling motor & battery. Anybody know anyone we could borrow one of these from? We can do it with oars, but it'd be a great way to drive the aluminum skiff as shooting platform when filming "old Eric" coming ashore in the beginning, and "young Eric" when he's looking for his anchorage after being chased off the island.

Travel
This is just a suggestion (they're more like guidelines, really)
David is off Britton rd, could come into town and collect John between Meridian & Northwest, just north of Illinois. Email him with your address and he'll pick you up, say 7:15 ish: dcweed@comcast.net
Eric is near Whatcom Falls Park, could pick up Steve and Tyler.
I'd like to have my truck in the ferry line by 8:30 - for the 9:30 sailing. That means leaving Bellinham around 7:30. We could meet at Starbucks in Anacortes to transfer any remaining gear so we don't have to pack it across from the walk-on parking to the fenced in drive-on parking. I'm thinking Starbucks at 8:15 would work. Lance? Does that work for you? I'll buy you all coffee and breakfast while we're there (I like their oatmeal and cheese danish myself).
Starbucks is right next to the KFC on Commercial

Food Stuffs
David - Bucket of food
John - Bucket of food - guacamole, whiskey
Lance - Lunch on Friday
Steve - More food
Tim - Hot Dogs, Chips
Tyler - Bagels (just kidding - after working all week at the Bagelry, he probably doesn't like the smell)
Eric - Breakfast Saturday & Sunday and picking up any slack. I got Salmon Burgers from Costco!
Drinks - can you all bring you favorite beverage? That includes coffee, since I'm not gifted in that department.

Cable Cam
The Cable-Cam is in working prototype order. There's certainly room for improvement, but it'll get the viewer running alongside young Eric as he blitzes through the woods back to camp.
Now, how're we going to get good sound of the panting, heart pounding, foot stomping, running too?

Day for Night
A bit of this story takes place at night. You can't really shoot at night and get decent footage.
So, we'll use thecrane day for night technique instead.
To add to the challenges, it'd be great to have some dust, or mist, in the air so young Eric's flashlight beam shows up. The other day, while channeling my inner fireman, it occurred to me that a CO2 fire extinguisher might be just the thing. Any of you happen to have one of those?
