Ocala & Jacksonville

The crew’s first road trip was to Ocala, Florida to film Glenn the Geek at Horse Radio Network Headquarters! Glenn is the largest broadcaster in the horse niche with 13 shows that are a part of his network. He was an amazing host. The only problem with Glenn was that he gets up at 4 a.m. – a real challenge for the crew, a cast of dedicated night owls!

Leaving Ocala, the crew drove up to film the team at Buzzsprout, a company that hosts audio for podcasters, at a park in downtown Jacksonville. The backdrop was one of the most beautiful of the entire film! It was surreal how vivid the colors were.

While conducting interviews, Niel Guilarte decided to take his drone ICEMAN out for a spin. The shots were breathtaking.

Behind-The-Scenes Trivia

The Motel from Hell

In an attempt to put as much of the project’s budget into the film itself, Chris Krimitsos booked the crew in what has to be the worst motel in all the Florida Keys – a glorified houseboat which Niel Guilarte described as a “floating roach motel” and where Willie Harper discovered a used condom under his sheets. Thanks to the crew’s shared dedication to (and willingness to sacrifice for) the film, they actually bonded over the squalid accommodations and were well-prepared for the adversities they would face later in the shoot.
