freeze frame

if you blink, you'll miss them. this was certainly true for most of the scenes as i watched the movie "Big Miracle". i did see my friends walking behind drew barrymore in the hallway because i knew what to look for. but it's a whole new way of seeing to watch the background when everything the film producers have done induce you to pay attention to the foreground. my friends had fun dipping their toes in the movie industry alongside cast and crew, as this based-on-a-true-story was filmed onsite in Alaska. working next to barrymore, john krasinki, ted danson and others, they got a taste of how much work goes into such a movie. for more information: www.everybodyloveswhales.com but don't blink! (i'll be renting the movie so i can pause and freeze frame my friends' stardom as background hallway crossers, ice scientists and restaurant diners).
