New Orleans Pet Care: 12/14/14

Tentative plans to shoot a Garden District scene from a movie about Buddy Bolden have been released. The film is an adaptation of the legend of Charles “Buddy” Bolden, known as King Bolden. His band was a top draw in New Orleans from about 1900 until 1907, until he was incapacitated by schizophrenia.

Our story is told from Buddy’s institution where he hears the distant music from his past that ignites the memory of his experiences in New Orleans in 1906 and his decline into schizophrenia.

We are currently planning on filming in New Orleans late January 2015. One of our locations is in the Garden District just out side Lafayette Cemetery. Below is our tentative schedule:

LOCATION: EXT. LAFAYETTE CEMETERY SIDEWALK /WHITE WALL:

6^th Street Between Coliseum Street and Prytania Street

Parking schematics are being planned in the area and will be released as soon as finalized.

FILMING SCHEDULE: MONDAY JANUARY 26, 1014 approximately 7AM to 7PM (day only) Rain Date Wednesday January 28th 2014

SCENE: NOLA – DAY -1889: Young Buddy Bolden runs down sidewalk along the white wall.

PREPARATION: Sunday, January 26^th2015

RESTORATION: Tuesday, January 27^th 2015

Last week, one of our clients that lives in a rental apartment came home to find only one cat in her house. Her landlord visited that day and one of the babies had gotten out of the house. We were scheduled to start the following day and Pamela and I searched and searched for her all weekend to no avail. She was found this morning...

It is always a great idea to have a "reminder sign" posted near your lock (even if it is small) or tape over the lock with a note if you know they are coming by just to remind them about your pets. Also, I always recommend having a baby gate in a rental that you put up daily in the main entry door.

This turned out just fine this time but it could have ended terribly!
