The film will be shot in the Spring of next year in New Orleans, Louisiana.Email us for more details on package price.Your personal day on set includes:
-- Two nights in a hotel in the French Quarter of New Orleans-- Round trip airfare if you are in the United States-- A full day on set of the film The Boys Club. And yes, if it's a scene with extras you can be in the scene...-- Transportation to and from the airport-- Lunch with Katherine and whomever else is floating around her that day-- First-hand experience of what making a movie is all about. Two people who experienced days on set last year of Waking Madison will now be working with Katherine on this next movie!
Brooke on the set of Waking Madison
"I have to say that when the time came to leave, I practically had to be dragged out of there. Even though it was 3am, I was learning and seeing too much to want to go. It will be a memory I'll keep with me for a long time."
Talia on the set of Waking Madison
"Being on set was like a dream come true. The excitement and intensity of the production was palpable, and being able to see the creativity of Katherine first hand is an experience unlike any other."Michelle on the set of Waking Madison
"We always hear the phrase "movie magic," being on set with Kat Brooks was everything that phrase emulates. she is an inspiration to see at work and incredibly warm and humble to interact with. the experience was beyond anything i could have dreamed of and is something i will cherish the rest of my life."
************************************************ MAKE IT RIGHT FOUNDATIONThe production team behind The Boys Club are actively working with Brad Pitt's "Make It Right" foundation, a project designed to build green affordable housing on a large scale to help victims of Hurrican Katrina. The film production is sponsoring one of 150 homes being built in the Lower 9th Ward, one of the most devastated areas of New Orleans.Previously, Pitt sponsored an architecture competition organized by Global Green with the goal of generating ideas about how to rebuild sustainably. Several of those designs are currently under construction in the Lower 9th Ward and the project inspired him to expand his efforts.After discussing the hurdles associated with rebuilding in a devastated area, the group determined that a large-scale redevelopment project focused on green affordable housing and incorporating innovative design was indeed possible.The group settled on the goal of constructing 150 homes (one of the larger rebuilding projects in the city), with an emphasis on developing an affordable system that could be replicated.To demonstrate replicability, Pitt determined to locate the project in the Lower 9th Ward, one of the most devastated areas of New Orleans, proving that safe homes could and should be rebuilt. Pitt hopes that this project would be a catalyst for recovery and redevelopment throughout the Lower 9th Ward and across the city of New Orleans.Having listened to one former resident's plea to help "make this right," Pitt was inspired to name the project "Make It Right" (MIR).With Katherine having been born and raised in Louisiana and a former resident of the city - and she's soon moving back, - this is a project which is very close to all of our hearts.
