What’s it like to direct a director? Were there script revisions and meetings with agents and publicists? Did our two leading ladies demand rare orchids and only yellow jellybeans in their trailer? Not a chance. This Hollywood family could not have been any more down to earth or charming.

Jody and Randy are the producer and director respectively of many movies, the two most recent being “Bottle Shock” and “Nobel Son”. They both have a keen visual sense and know exactly what works in front of a camera. This could have been an intimidating situation for us to find ourselves in as photographers but instead the whole family embraced being the stars of the show and took direction from us beautifully.

Being such long time clients, we wanted to do something extra special for them so while I was photographing the stills, Larry donned his director’s cap and shot some video. We surprised Randy with the video slide show you see here for Father’s Day.

At the end of the day, despite being a little soggy from playing in the fountain, we packed up satisfied knowing that we had it “in the can”. Randy however, couldn’t resist slipping into director mode and called, “It’s a wrap”!
