Our Sunday evening filming in the rain left us all a bit creaky the next morning, but by 11 the team was out on the UMD campus to film the "flashback" scenes, and it turned out to be orientation for many of the incoming freshmen. I wonder if they thought the movie shoot was being staged to show them how great the University is. 
Back to the house for a quick lunch and off to Frederick, battling traffic to arrive at the Orchard Restaurant where Uncle Jim Hickey got us set up before leaving for a meeting. Josh de Groot was released from jury duty in time to play one FBI agent and Amadea Jessen de Groot played the other. We shot the near-miss scene, finishing by about 6:30, then grabbed some burgers and gas on our way to Baltimore to the famous Bel-Loc Diner. There, we met up with several others there to do a scene, and the waitresses, Jennifer and Christina who were playing Jenna and Sandy. By the end of the shoot, we had recruited Miss Jean as well, to be a part of the "cashing" part of the scene. It happened to be our mic operator, Sam Ferette's, birthday so we all gathered together to sing happy birthday to him ten minutes before midnight.
Big thanks to Bill at Bel-Loc, all the staff, and of course, the Orchard Restaurant!
