ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SHOOT!

The first day of filming the reenactments went 11 hours, and was a smashing success!!!

There were a lot of emotions as each scene played out. Claire was brought to tears when she saw Clara Mello dressed as her teenage Mother, Ruth Mix, and Lisa Clement dressed as her Grandmother Frida Mix. BJ Santucci was brilliant as the Caucasian Doctor, opposite the very funny Dennis Wong. Josephine Phung’s father, Mihn, was set photographer, and we are so grateful for his time.

When Mari Jacobson’s Grandfather came on set, (who is a former internee at Jerome), the cast and crew gave him a thunderous respectful applause.

Delta Mello is to be applauded for her exquisite costume work, and props – pure perfection.

Together, Director of Photography, Ben Ferrer and Director Clare Mix, brought to life an authentic vision of 1942. Japanese Cultural Consultant, Akemi Wong, polished each scene to a high-shine.

Special thanks to KCRA 3 News, Josephine (Jo-Jo) and Jennifer (sweet-girl), Nathan, William, Akemi, Kabu, Alisha, Mari, AJ, Lamar, KIM, Heddy, Kelly Bitz AND Charles Class.

ARIGATO!!!
