Valuable Dirt

Last year, when we were filming Under Jakob's Ladder, we gave the props department some clumps of dirt.

That's right. Dirt.

They were perfect for a certain scene in the movie. But because they were clumps of dirt, a sign had to be written: "Don't throw away. These are props!"

There’s an important lesson here. Don't throw anything away. When making a film, even dirt can have value.
