Behind The Scenes

You, Me and The Circus – Behind the scenes still photography by Samantha Fielding.

This was an exceptional project to work on. A dear friend asked if I wanted to run away with the circus. How could I possibly say no? We shot this independent movie in a Los Angeles studio where I found myself part of this incredible, dedicated & dreamy atmosphere. Marlon and Ty are beautiful spirits which made the cast and crew feel right at home, happily giving 100% of themselves. Fine actors, make-up and sparkling costumes on a 15 day shoot brought the crew a special bond as we created this magical project. Thus began my daunting job of editing 6,000 images. I am currently working with Omar and Ty on a project of bringing the finer images to a coffee table book that will showcase this intensely, beautiful movie. I hope to announce the release soon. Stay tuned for updates on my blog.

The film was produced by Omar Epps (Love & Basketball, House), Marlon Ollivierre, Seth Caplan and Ty Hodges and stars Matt Dallas (Kyle XY) as Max/HIM, Anita Briem (Journey To The Center of the Earth) as Bo/HER, Ty Hodges as Ralph/LIPS and Melonie Diaz (Raising Victor Vargus, Hamlet 2) as Andrea/BF, Erin Cummings (Bitch Slap, Detroit 1-8-7) as Khloe, Amy Correa-Bell as Leslie, and introduces Ashley Applewhite as Sabrina. Marlon Wayans (GI Joe, White Chicks), Columbus Short (Stomp The Yard, Armored, The Losers) and Omar Epps make scene-stealing cameos.
