Luck of the Draw: The Making of Roulette

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

Date Filmed: -November 17th-
- 6 minutes -

The producers of Roulette were faced with a difficult decision in The Situation, Part 12 of Luck of the Draw. In Part 13, The Solution, a remedy is found for what ails the film: a new actress, Michelle Murad, to play the character of “Zoe Clarke.” The film goes backwards, from post production to production, reshooting scenes that have been completed for over a year. What’s the attitude of the cast and crew, not to mention the effect of a new actor on set? The Solution features interviews with Director Erik Kristopher Myers, Producers Brian Andress and Laura Myers, Director of Photography Jamie Bender, Actors Mike Baldwin and Will Haza, and the new Zoe herself.

Crew Confessions:
“It's been great having the fresh energy of someone new to the production. We've been working on the film for so long, it's sometimes like we've gotten overexposed. Having Michelle on set just makes everything feel like it did in at the beginning of production, and her enthusiasm is contagious. While lighting and shot-setups are, as Jamie Bender said, the same as before, with Michelle's fresh readings and take on the character, it's like a whole new ROULETTE. And we couldn't be happier with her work.”
- Laura Myers

“Nothing feels better than sitting down after each reshoot day to delete a good performance from my hard drive, and to then replace it with a great one.”
- Erik Kristopher Myers

“Since the last Luck of the Draw episodes, I’ve moved to New York City, which explains the end of the The Solution. The last frame you see is the last frame I captured before running to my bus. I made it with 30 seconds to spare.”
- Ethan Meyer
