Our video this week was filmed at great personal expense. I don’t mean financial expense – mono, the site covered the cost of props and costumes. I mean bodily expense. We filmed this episode in UVic’s ‘Mystic Vale’ – that’s a parcel of forest land owned by the school, and holy hell was it ever overrun with mosquitos. WIthin minutes of arriving we realized that we were going to need insect spray, (which of course we didn’t bring) so we sent James to go get some. In the intervening time between our arrival, and James’ return with some Deep Woods Off, we got EATEN ALIVE. I know Graham’s bite count was in the teens, mine was well over 22. I don’t know about the others, but the liklelihood that one of us contracted malaria is very high. (Or it would be if malarial mosquitos were a concern here in Canada).

This is probably going to be one of my last blog post for LoadingReadyRun – at least for the next year – as I’m headed back to school at the end of the month, and I’m not going to be in Victoria much for the weeks until then. Fear not though, as I understand that Kathleen will be taking over my blogging and site updating duties, and she’s actually a witty and capable writer (unlike the hack that’s been doing this until now). I’ll probably do an official final post before I hand over the torch permanently, but in case I don’t have a chance, it’s been a thrill writing these for you, and I hope you’ve enjoyed reading them as much as I’ve enjoyed having them read!

Cheers!

The writing credit on this week’s video goes to our good friend Andy Cownden, and because I had no involvement in the production of this video at any level, I’m going to leave the majority of the writing credit for this blog post in Andy’s hands too!

This script was written during a particularly severe bout of cabin fever I experienced this past June. I had just come off a theatre gig and found myself swimming in time and trying to not to spend much money. It’s easy not to spend money if you don’t go out much (except for exercise, groceries, etc.), but you go a bit stir crazy. And so, “Occupied” was the result of emotional catharsis meeting a bizarre sense of humour. LRR aficionados may be interested to know that the premise for the script was loosely inspired by Crapshot episode 34 – The Slam.

Cheers!
