Fumetti Photo Shoot
We spent the last afternoon of the NYC HEATWAVE shooting our fumetti in Prospect Park. The heat caused us to reschedule from 2pm to 6pm, causing us to lose hours of light. We shot the last scenes in a pizza parlor where our underaged extras partook in a well-deserved beer. The plot involves two characters created by Jason Little, chasing after one Stacey Nightmare , whose twitter feed is about the best thing on the web. Our extras, Li-or Zaltzman and her brother Michael, played both cops and hippies, as did photographer Hilary Allison and Co-Writer/Schemer Stephanie Mannheim.
