My finest hour
Article Abstract:
Director Sue Worthy of the Brave Film Co. tells of the challenges she faced while trying to shoot a car commercial for the ecologically friendly Mitsubishi Charisma in the south of Spain. Worthy deals with the changing mind of a salt flats owner, leaving only six hours to find another location for the shoot, and a road with pools of water that mysteriously dried up overnight until the fire department came to the rescue and refilled the pools to allow the shoot to be completed on time.
