Museum Scene

The Longest Ride (2015)

This was a three day shoot at the Cameron Art Museum for the museum scene with Britt Robinson, who also filmed locally in Under the Dome, and Scott Eastwood.

This is a real museum, and the art in the movie was on display there prior to the movie, though no telling how long the art will be hanging. Regardless, a good mixed purpose stop for any tourists, see where a movie was filmed, and take in the art.

There were scenes both inside and out of the museum. Most of it takes place in the long hall that from the main entrance and the room immediately to the right at the end of the long hall.

I worked on this one and made it in to a few of the shots, though had I known it was about bull riding/rodeo and not a long car ride, I would have not worked on this film.

Chapter 29 (S4 Ep8) – School Gymnasium and Montage

Eastbound & Down (TV 2009-2013)

I’ve only seen this final episode, as I appeared in a montage in which I portrayed a bum in an alley, with Kenny Powers (Danny McBride) strung out beside me with a sign saying, “will rap 4 food”. The alley was just the space under some power generators.

John Doe (S1 E5) – Fountain Scene

Sleepy Hollow (TV 2013-2014)

Used in Sleepy Hollow’s episode John Doe, Thomas is discovered in the fountain.

This fountain is a bit of a sore subject for locals, as many cars have collided with it (as if it is hard to miss). It’s a testament to the poor driving skills found locally.
