Skater Girl Goes to FLORIDA

After a long and very cold winter Chronicles headed down south to Sarasota, Florida to film "the younger years" portion of the movie. Planning for the florida shoot began in early February, but three days before shooting was to begin we still hadn't found young abby or young julie. Actually not one person had been found. But of course, in typical movie making fashion as things just have a tendancy to work themselves out. We had two auditions 10 people showed up at the first and then at the sarasota school of arts and sciences about 25, 8-12 year olds, showed up. Julie (in her role as casting director) had the kids play scherades as they pretended to be either an alegator, tiger, or witch in an effort to evaluate how dramatic they could be. On Friday, the 15 kids chosen showed up for a day of filming at Circle K, the home of the Schuh family, and the Sarasota Skate park. Even the local newspaper showed up to write about our day of rebellious skateboarding activities.
