A Message from Dan

By Dan Engelhardt producer

It has been extremely exciting for me and the rest of the crew to be shooting a film about PALO ALTO on the streets of Palo Alto. The locations are, of course perfect, and the community has been amazingly supportive. Many of the houses we have photographed have had limited connection to the movie, but have been willing to help. Also, surrounding neighbors have been understanding to our crazy hours (6pm - 8am). This project has really become a collaborative effort between the production and the city of Palo Alto - we are doing our best to limit any potential disruptions to the neighborhood, and homeowners have welcomed us, providing shooting locations and storage.

City officials also arranged for our permits to be donated - thank you very much to Mayor Judy Kleinberg, and Assistant City Manager Emily Harrison. The Mayor, in fact, honored us with her presence on set the other day. Ben Savage (Patrick), a graduate of Stanford, was thrilled to meet her. He is happy to be back in Palo Alto, and couldn't believe he had the chance to meet her. We are all looking forward continuing production in hometown, and extend our deepest thanks to everyone who has provided support.
