Gratcast 52: Behind TPH (Dinner Guest Story)




Gratcast - Taking on Hollywood and telling the tale. show

Summary: The conclusion of our 6 part series about The Perfect House We wrap up our  six part series Behind TPH with a behind the scenes look at 'Dinner Guest', the final vignette in The Perfect House anthology.   The third, and final, story faced the most adversity and set backs during production.  We had to overcome an angry Grandfather, Actors whose hearts weren't into it, Prima Donna's who thought it was still 1983 (Felissa we're looking at you) and the challenge of savagely attacking a man with a weedwacker.  The weedwacker attack was one of the first and the most elaborate gags during the entire production, but it wasn't the only one that presented a challenge. The heat wreaked havoc on our special effects department as well as the morale and temperament of our entire production team.   The peak of this frustration came on a grueling 14 hours day inside a 6 foot bathroom on a crowded, stuffy, smoldering second floor. No great production would be complete with out a wrap party, we had a small one, Buffalo style! Behind TPH is a six party series full of first hand stories and accounts from the production of The Perfect House.
