Stills from Home School Musical
Home School Musical was filmed in San Luis Obispo, CA in June, 2011. Casting began in Los Angeles in June of 2010, but the production was postponed in August of that year. Casting was completed in March, 2011 with a talented group of young actors from San Luis Obispo County joining the already-signed cast from Los Ageles. Rehearsals were held in Nipomo, Ventura, and Hollywood in May and June, 2011. This film represents the largest and most complex in Scraping Bottom Productions' eight year history.
Editing and finishing the film took two years and included three rounds of additional shooting (pick up shots supporting FX, etc.) and a complete upgrade of the editing facilities and equipment. Finally, a much anticipated cast, crew, and special guest screening happened on August 10, 2013 in San Luis Obispo, CA. Guests came from Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and from as far away as Arizona and Washington state. The film was screened to an overflow crowd in Theatre No. 1 at the Palm and was preceded by another of MJ’s multimedia floor shows. After screening the film, the ebullient crowd motored out to the coast for a rollicking dinner and party at McLintocks in Pismo Beach. The happy hangover from this one lasted a while!
