Production to Focus on More Interviews, Second Unit Photography
"The Dysfunctional 757", a documentary covering the local music scene for Southeastern Virginia reached an important milestone on February 21st: the end of filming shows for the documentary. For seven months, Director Joey Trask & Executive Producer Korey Hood have gone to dozens of shows in an effort to capture the vibrant local music scene that has been described by some as a "dysfunctional family". Production sprung to life in late July of last year when news broke that Budda's Place, a popular music venue in Newport News, was closing its doors for good. Roughly seven months later, the production team has now shifted gears into the next phase of production.
Moving Closer to Post
The production team will continue to conduct interviews for the documentary, but instead of going to shows to conduct these interviews, the interviews will be conducted in Lost Terminal Productions' home studio located in Newport News where various people in the local music industry will be invited to take part in an interview process that includes reacting & commenting on some of the show footage that the production team has gathered over the past seven months. Second unit photography, which will include scenic location shots and some traveling shots, is also expected to be completed this month. The film is on track for its much-anticipated fall 2014 release.
