Getting Closer

I'm really getting excited for our project after our last group meeting on Monday. Although we are still waiting to hear back from 3 of our 4 locations, Rogan's has agreed to be a part of the project and we are setting up a meeting with them (hopefully Thursday at 3pm). We have also received quite a big response of people who are interested in either being crew for the project or being a contestant.

We have finalized our host, as well as our contestant for the ice cream challenge portion. We are trying to type cast our show by either choosing a competitor who looks like he could eat anything you put in front of him OR doing the exact opposite. Our host, Sean, isn't really either one of those types. In my opinion, he looks like the average guy, but truth be told he can eat a LOT of food. I think this will work for the show, since our audience won't necessarily expect him to win eating contests (and sometimes, he probably won't) and will also be a good contrast between having huge-football player guys and skinny girls challenge him.

We're holding a meeting on Saturday, Sept. 24th in the pub to make our cast and crew lists official. As of right now, our schedule is to try and begin shooting October 6th at Rogan's as well as October 8th (opening sequences or another location if it works out).

Meeting with Pete tomorrow... I hope you're as excited as I am.
