THE BRIDGE #2
I never watched this show ever since I worked on the pilot. I have too many shows to watch these days.
We checked in at a parking lot somewhere out in LA. Most of us had our cars booked as well, so we had a caravan to the bar where we would be shooting. The problem was that we got all split up and when we arrived at the location, no one was there. It turned out that we were supposed to park at a lot near the location, then take a shuttle up the hill to another location where they were shooting the bus stop scene.
I was booked with a bunch of Mexicans, but the person I sat next to, Hoda (who actually had an American name that I can't remember), was Egyptian who looked Hispanic. She was gorgeous but when we got to talking and she warmed up and showed me some pictures of her with make-up, it kind of reminded me of Snookie. I don't know why Egyptian chicks do this, but I guess that's just their style.
We weren't chosen for the bus stop scene, so we got back on the shuttle that took us to base camp for lunch. We got our grub on and then we went to the bar to shoot the scene. All of this took place in Boyle Heights which is heavily Hispanic, probably Mexican. It was a working class environment and I love that this job takes us to so many parts of LA that I'd probably never visit.
We shot until the late evening, kind of happy that we were getting overtime. It was kind of fun to run into people that I'd worked with before and some of the non-union folks were cool too. I let a guy name Phillip borrow my Sprint charger and I'd forgotten to get it back. Oh well, that's my good dead for the non-union.
I also spent some time talking to a guy named Ray who did not believe in global warming. It always surprises me to run into people who are faced with so much evidence, they just don't believe it because of one reason or another. In his case, he feels that the studies done are bad science, pushed by people with agendas.
