Before me and Miss dog were movie extras I had no idea what actually went into making a movie. The movie we were in (we were sort of in, our scene was cut) was set in present day, so we just dressed in a tidier form of normal wear. But the movie that M’s uncle was in was a period piece, dust bowl 1930’s so the town had to get a few additions to make it look the part. It did not need much to make the town appear old and decrepit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is actually the window of the old post office, they built a new one about 15 years ago. Perhaps there was once a barber shop in town, but not in living memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An elderly resident remembered when this was a general store, but of course the window sign is new. I don’t ever remember this being open for business in the past 43 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The set designers stuck up a few posters to give some atmosphere, I guess this sort of thing might have played in small towns. Maybe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A faded circus poster for an imaginary circus. I suppose that elephants could have got here on the train (back when it stopped in town).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And here’s another poster for a competing circus, they were certainly popular, I guess. The other addition to the town, a dirt street, was removed after filming. Only these signs and posters show that they were ever here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of this flotsam of moviemaking has piqued my curiosity about this movie. I did check and it has only been released at a film festival and in Russia (?). But I expect that one day, sooner or later the movie will be released on Netflix or Amazon Prime and I will be able to satisfy my curiosity (or the scene will have been cut). \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
