Greetings Gossip Lovers,

Lions and Students and Mimes - oh my! If you were downtown Portsmouth yesterday you likely spotted the man-beast and friends - including numerous men in fluorescent. (That orange brings just about any eye color out don't you think)?

It was a film in the making folks.

This dreary Sunday killed plans for a second day of shooting, but weather providing they'll be back in Market Square next week. Sort of a fun thing to take in on the way to a play, gallery or concert. The whole family can enjoy it for free : ) (Love that word. I mean we are from the "Live Free or Die" state after all).

Lion and company are just the latest movie crew to use the Port City. This group of filmmakers is led by writer/director/producer Ryan VanDalinda, (bottom pic on the right), a former Winnacunnet High School student, currently a senior at Keene State College.

The flick, "Fursona," is the Senior Thesis Capstone Project for 12 KSC students, all part of the florescent wearing team.

Justin Wakefield (that's him to the left, front and fluorescent) the film's assistant director says he's not sure what day they'll return next week. But he promises to call when the time is firm. And I promise to post a quick note on the blog so you can take the kids to watch the process.

Want more on yesterday's shoot. It's in today's Portsmouth Herald, (here), written by the great pop blogger herself, Gina Carbone.

Chow for now,
