An Okkervil River Short Film

The day after we got back from Sundance, Toby and I took off to Rhode Island to make this little film:

We landed around 4pm, at which point Toby remembered that we had forgotten to pack any sound gear. We chartered a taxi and were ferried the nearest Guitar Center, where Toby bought one of those handy dual-headed recorders and a microphone. It's a fact that I hate Guitar Centers, so I waited outside. A little while later, Will Sheff picked us up in the frosty parking lot and we started shooting right about then.

The next morning, as that massive blizzard fell upon the East Coast, Will dropped us back off at the same Guitar Center. We returned the recording gear for the full purchase amount and then headed to the airport, where we spent eight hours waiting for flights to resume. It was a good trip.
