Redbox On The Road
Boy vs. Girl
by Jaime | August 30th, 2010 | Filed under: Redbox Insider, Redbox On The Road, Updates from the RoadI miss my friends. Seriously miss my friends. I mean, Chris is great and all, but he can’t replace gossiping with Janet over brunch, dissecting movies with Jess, or going dancing with Colleen. Just like Sex and the City, I want my girls around to share the highs and lows of my now-transient life. I [...]

What Movie Would You Live Inside Of?
by Jaime | August 26th, 2010 | Filed under: Redbox Insider, Redbox On The Road, Updates from the RoadThis summer we hit the road with absolutely no back-up plan. That’s right. When we’re done shooting State Fair we have no idea where we’re going to live or what we’re going to do. We’re not even counting on the tired “I guess we can live with our parents if we have to” mentality. Nope, [...]

by Jaime | August 24th, 2010 | Filed under: Redbox Insider, Redbox On The Road, VideosWe’ve been on the road for a few weeks now, so we’re starting to hear the same questions over and over again. The most popular? “How’s your film going to end?” When we explain that we’re shooting a documentary and don’t have a pre-planned ending the way narrative films do, people seem genuinely stumped.

We Returned It on the Road
by Chris | August 23rd, 2010 | Filed under: Redbox Insider, Redbox On The Road, Updates from the RoadLiving on the road means checking out of a different hotel, bed and breakfast, or friend’s basement every day. Each morning we have to run through an extensive list of equipment to make sure we haven’t left a charger, flash, or lens anywhere.

by Jaime | August 20th, 2010 | Filed under: Redbox Insider, Redbox On The Road, VideosThe Indiana State Fair has taught us many new things: How to milk a cow. How to be the world’s best fair queen. How to ride in a manure spreader with grace and poise. But by far, the most interesting skill we’ve acquired is the one included in this video. Watch, learn, but please… don’t [...]

State Fair: The Movie
by Jaime | August 19th, 2010 | Filed under: Redbox Insider, Redbox On The Road, Updates from the RoadBefore this past week, my experience with Indiana could be summed up by: A stay at an Amish farm during a Walk Across America project.

Fried on the Side
by Jaime | August 17th, 2010 | Filed under: Redbox Insider, Redbox On The Road, VideosA couple of weeks ago, Chris and I hit the road to begin a little journey we like to call the State Fair Project.

Deep Fried Redbox
by Jaime | August 14th, 2010 | Filed under: Redbox Insider, Redbox On The Road, Updates from the RoadThe number one rule of the road: be flexible. Which means when the entire town where you’re planning to stay for the next week is flooded and left without running water, you reconsider your options and move on to the next best thing.
