Artifact 049
Eight years ago, I created a commercial shot in Long Lake, NY featuring my Pops, myself, and a beautiful blue 1937 Plymouth pickup owned by my parents’ friend, Fred. That shoot quietly became the scouting groundwork for Flamboozle, and I knew I wanted to work with Fred again and give the truck a true narrative role.
Leading up to principal photography, Fred had the Plymouth ready to go, but with the rain we would be be navigating he suggested a more durable option. His classic Ford Ranger. At first I was bummed but It didn’t take long to realize the Ranger was actually a better fit for the film and its characters.
A solid reminder that going with the flow and trusting the process is often the best approach in filmmaking. Huge thanks to Fred for spending a couple days with us on set and for helping elevate the visuals with this classic pickup.
