“The idea was to get the script up on its feet and let the cast explore
the Gems characters. I can’t remember who, but somebody said,
'Hey, why don’t we shoot some footage'. It must have been a particularly slow weekend because out of nowhere a willing crew showed up and we started to burn miniDV tape. Much to our surprise, we’d shot 18 pages of Gems by the time Sunday evening rolled around”.

“Remember, this is just a test. We were shooting totally 'run and gun'
so the production values fall way short of what we’ll be doing when we actually make Gems in HD. Also, don’t expect to see Olympia in the trailer. This stuff was shot before she joined the cast”.
“Even with all of its technical limitations, the trailer gives you a pretty good feel for Gems and it oddball assortment of characters. Enjoy”.
