THE STORY: Three brothers who have been seriously pampered their entire lives, struggle the morning after their mother's death to do the simplest tasks. How long do you cook an egg if you've never cooked one? How much bleach does it take to get clothes clean?

BACKSTORY: This ambitious project was the first for the united coalition of Mike Long and Joops. With a script by Joops, and a truck load of gear of Mike's, the two set out with a small crew and big cast for a marathon shoot of about 48 hours of filming in a three day span.

PRODUCTION NOTES: Shot on location in the borrowed home of Executive Producer, Nicole Long's parents, in Ormond Beach, Florida. All props were from the homes of the producers including clothes and the f**ckin' Juicer thing. The biggest expense of the film was all the prop food used; dozens of eggs, loaves of bread, packages of bacon, a bushel of oranges, etc.

EQUIPMENT: Panasonic DVX100 camera / Glideshot dollies, jibs, rigs / Marantz audio recorder with shotgun mic / multiple wattage light kit, Dell Workstations, Maxtor storage drives, Vegas editing software, Soundforge audio software.

NOTABLE MOMENT: Tie. Actress, Lindy Taylor unable to get out the word "Cleopatra" with the right emphasis. And...Day two, full crew and cast are preparing for a scene in kitchen when a mechanical sound is heard through the sound equipment. The crew check everything in the kitchen to no avail. The crew followed the sound to the living room to find Super Grip, Eric Freudenthal, dead asleep and SNORING.
