Border Stories

During filming in the Desert of San Bernardino (CA), the Production van got stuck in the sand. Since one of the actors only could come in the early evening to shoot the scene, we had to hurry up with the takes and had to dig out the van after sunset. The Producers went to get some more shovels in the meantime, so that the whole crew could help digging out the wheels in the dark and to pull the van out of the ditch, which we finally also managed. While rushing back to L.A. (2 hours drive), the driver was mistaken with one of the roads and this one happen to have a dead End. He realized that too late and the car flew in a ditch with the actors. As the 2nd car with the rest of the crew finally could locate us, we managed to pull the car out of the ditch, could cancel the 911 call and even drive back in the car. The car got a bit damaged underneath & had to be serviced afterward.
