What can be said of my crew? Tireless, hard-working, and dependable, the special people that helped to bring “Reverie Blvd.” to life sacrificed their time, energy, and (most likely) their sanity, to ensure that this project was the best that it could be.

          To direct simply means to guide already talented people to make sure that the overall vision of the film is maintained. To say that my crew did that would be an understatement...they exceeded it by leaps and bounds.

          Missy Reedy, another fellow Art Institute student, offered her talents to the project in a variety of ways: boom operator and grip, as well as one of our primary behind-the-scenes camera operators, capturing exciting insights into the making of this film...including the numerous fist fights that would break out on set.

          Kevin Wilson, who most notably served in the role of Jimmy, Sam’s police detective friend, was also a key asset on our crew. The three of us, Nick, Kevin, and myself, found each other in our Videography class at AIA and stuck together for over a year, astounding teachers with feats of video magic rarely seen among our generation. I know that it killed Kevin to spend the majority of his time in front of the camera, but I knew that he would excel wherever he allowed me to put him.

          My older brother Jeff, who also serves as an actor in the film, and my friend Alexander Grant (yet another AIA student) took hundreds of behind-the-scenes photos, some of which easily rivaled the images that I captured with the camera. Jeff also served as my secondary camera operator during my scenes in the movie. It was exciting to see him behind the lens of that kind of camera.

          Most amazing still was how everyone chipped in, even the actors. Richard Blair did his own age makeup, Leah Weller helped me find several of our locations, and Brad Binkley encouraged me to cast Christina Bibby.

          We worked late into the night, and sometimes early morning, and these amazing people volunteered their time and talents without complaint. The final result bears witness to their commitment.
