Day One - “Fresno” Begins Production!
Entandem’s latest project is “Fresno,” a documentary film that questions whether a city with an ugly reputation can grow to become a major metropolis. Filming on “Fresno” began April 26 at the Fresno Arts Council’s Horizon Awards ceremony, held at the Fresno City Council Chamber. Entandem co-founder Jaguar Bennett tortured nervous award recipients with hard-hitting questions like “State your name for the camera.”
Day Two – On location in the back yard of Jaguar’s glamorous Tower District residence! In a bucolic atmosphere of birdsong and garbage trucks, San Francisco artist Mia Paschal shared with us her views of Fresno’s arts scene—and her opinions will surprise and shock you. (A snippet soon to be up on our web site!)
Day Three was hot! Our soles stuck to the sidewalk – felt just like summer in the Valley. The smell of horses and cattle wafted through the heated, dusty air. The Clovis Rodeo was in full swing as we rustled through parking lots to capture the wonderful characters. Clovis, as a neighbor to Fresno, is an integral part of the city, with an invisible border and even interrelated schools. Also, we visited Jaguar’s former home, now a new giant school complex.
Day Four was spent at Koffeeheads! (See the previous blog.) Jack and Kari Weldon are closing their fabulous and unique chain of local coffee shops after being obliterated by the public’s interest and eager consumption at the Starbuck’s drive-through. This was a fantastic interview with two wonderful, kind and creative people. We will miss you!
We’ll keep you updated on our adventures with pictures and video (up soon, we promise, on our new, soon to be unveiled redesigned web site – www.EntandemProd.com).
Cheerio for now,
Christine
