The Final Weekend of CHAT

Last full weekend. Celebration is not in the air as we roll up to the Falcon's Home location at midnight to discover a small miscommunication. Despite emails to and from our producers, the "location" apartment unit's owners thought the filming of CHAT was done two weeks before -- at least inside their place. Confused? The owners were preparing for a little Jimmy Fallon, maybe an early crash out ahead of tomorrow's workday. And here comes a ring at their doorbell and a movie crew of 30. We remind them of the final scene which needs to be shot out on the porch, how our follow up was actually discussed and ok'd by them, etc. Bottom line, they didn't quite get it concerning our continued needs for their apartment. Soooooooo, what now? [Updated: 05/23/2013]
