Film Set Catering: Save Yourself, Reluctant Living and The Girl Scout

Earlier in May, I was happy to provide film set catering for three different independent projects over the span of a couple weeks: two days each on Ri Versteegh's "Reluctant Living" and Tien Brunelle's "The Girl Scout", and my first foray into odd-hour-middle-of-the-night catering with a week on Gabe Arredondo's night shoot of "Save Yourself".
