The Story of the Red Pick-Up

This story will be told in installments here at public musings.

Prologue: At the beginning of "Hegira," the short film I am currently producing, our protaganist, Brady Davis is walking along a long empty road. An old pick up truck drives by and Brady hops in the back. The movie takes place in the 1970s or thereabouts.

A "picture vehicle" costs in the range of $300 per day. We figured we could find someone with an old pick up and pay them around $100 to borrow it. We contemplated finding a vehicle in Los Angeles and driving it to the mountains, but ended up lining up a truck in a town nearby our location to be picked up the day before our shoot.

The day we were leaving for the shoot, the lady with the pick up informed our AD that the truck engine had exploded, leaving us with out a truck.
