So the film is cast and the script is almost done, just working out the kinks. I need a crew member to run sound as I will be using a double system method using a Zoom H4N recorder and Canon DSLR 7D. I have used this camera in many situations with picture and video, so I am comfortable with the workflow and the extra work dedicated in post.

"Strong majorities of Mormons say there are absolute standards of right and wrong and that they feel their values are often threatened by Hollywood." Interesting indeed. I may have to use this detail somewhere in the dialogue.  (http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1292/mormon-religion-demographics-beliefs-practices-politics) 

"Most Mormons take an anti-abortion or "pro-life" position on the issue of abortion. Fully 70% say abortion should be illegal in most or all circumstances, compared with 42% among the general population. Two-thirds of Mormons (68%) say homosexuality should be discouraged rather than accepted by society. When asked about the theory of evolution, only 22% of Mormons say it is the best explanation for human life, with three-in-four (75%) disagreeing."

"Mormons make up 1.7% of the American adult population, a proportion that is comparable in size to the U.S. Jewish population." 


"In Utah, July 24 is Pioneer Day, a state holiday commemorating the day in 1847 when the first Mormon settlers, led by Brigham Young, entered the Salt Lake Valley." 




Apparently the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is all the rage with mormons. I think it would be great if the cop only listened to this when he is in his car.
