The following article first appeared in the web publication Hollywood Adjacent, with minor changes. Just announced today, the new indie webfilm, currently titled, code name: Jonny GITMO, will enter the pre-production phase of development the first week of August. With shooting anticipated to begin in the late fall and continue till the end of 2009, code name: Jonny GITMO is expected to be shot at various locations in and around the Los Angeles metropolitan area, and an already existing set somewhere in the city of Redondo Beach.
The film's executive producer and writer, Bill Friday, in an interview with the web media outlet Hollywood Adjacent, said Monday,
"I can't believe this is all happening so fast. One day, you're
writing for free on somebody's website, the next, someone wants you to make
a movie.
This is one crazy town."
As a service to fans anxious to follow the progress of the film, this blog will track the day-to-day business of the business of taking a writer's idea, and show you how it all comes together - right before your eyes.
