Fitful Snowman

Tonight, I went downtown to the State Theatre to get tickets for tomorrow's premiere of "Avatar". I had no luck. But while I was waiting, they were setting up for the premiere of the latest Rich Brauer film, "Fitful". This new movie stars Renee O'Connor, who is best known for playing the sidekick Gabrielle in the "Xena" TV show. She wasn't going to be at the premiere, but Larry Joe Campbell was coming to town for the movie. Campbell has appeared in the TV shows "Weeds" and "According to Jim". The movie was filmed on a ship in nearby Manistee, Michigan.

In this photo, they get ready to put Campbell's name on the marquee. A dirty Jabba-esque snowman (with visor, sunglasses, and scarf) watches from a few feet away. I saw this snowman several days ago, and he looked a lot better then.

Larry Joe Campbell is a native of nearby Cadillac,Michigan. The ship the movie was filmed on was a former Ann Arbor Railroad Car ferry that carried railcars and passengers from Michigan to Wisconsin.

That is one sad, pathetic snowman.

And it turned out that Renee O'Connor was at the premiere after all. She was in some sort of stealth mode.

You guys are like East Hollywood over there :-) Except if we had snowmen, they'd be in much better shape! haha!

Well, I've heard we are getting more movies made here than LA anymore.
