Behind the scenes
at The Dublin Castle
Friends forever: Writer/Director Zoë Greenbaum and Sonnei Garces as Tom outside the Dublin Castle, Camden
There were unexpected upsides of Damien Smiler and Jimi Gardner being part of the cast of Bleach, one of which was constant music.
We were almost mid-December when Writer/Director Zoë Greenbaum took on the task of casting Anna & Chloe. Kudos to Zoe: Hard to imagine anyone playing these two roles more fabulously than Erin Grace and Hana Kasasa.
The extraordinary party scene could never have happened without the work of Damien Smiler who dispatched all the casting of extras with ease and grace.
The famous orange coat came in handy on more than one occasion when an actor was out in the freezing cold London night (or day) in street clothes. Here Zachary Goldman wears THE coat after the icy shoot in front of the Dublin Castle.
When you're working on an indie there are no trailers, and how to get hair and make-up done when we kept changing locations could have been an unsurmountable challenge. There will never be enough thanks to Henry Conlon for making the Dublin Castle available to us whenever there weren't bands that needed the space. Here the beautiful Erin Grace getting dolled up to hit Camden High Street as Anna.
Mari Yamamura shooting Tom and Sky in front of the Dublin Castle on a frosty London night. Compounded by the fact that we had just finished shooting on Gloucester Crescent for 2 or 3 hours and everyone was frozen solid. The rushes were full of very red noses. Bowing down to Finlay Reid of Goldcrest for his life-changing color.
Hana Kasasa showing off her groovy costume that we pulled together at TRAID on Kingsland High Street at the Dublin Castle before the party scene..
We see very little of this scene in the actual film which is a a bit sad since Zachary looks so fantastic here. This is behind the scenes for the intercuts you see of Tom (Sonnei) in the opening performance scenes. Interestingly it is actually a behind the scenes scene. Kind of meta.
Supendous early rehearsal at the Dublin Castle, when Jimi was plugged in and embellishing confidence man.
You GO, Jimi Gardner! So much style!
When the party scene was over, the cast and crew danced till the cows came home.
