When the Police Come Calling

What do you do when the police show up at your door?

For us, this is NOT an everyday occurance. By no means.

But it has happened. And when it happened to us this past week, our first thought was: Oh boy. Hope this is not about the filming we did this morning!

And guess what... It was.

At present, we are working on a few documentaries and such. For one of these projects, we wanted to get a shot as we drove down the street. To film a bit of the neighborhood of our subject.

Well, it seems one of the neighbors got a little uneasy and called... you guessed it.

The police cruiser drove up. And to make a long story short, we showed the cops the footage. They watched a few seconds. They didn't seem to be too disturbed.

Which was good for us. No jailtime.

Not that filmmakers are immune to jailtime. Especially indie filmmakers. We personally don't need to add that to our experience resume.
