Justin Berfield (Reese) recently had a ‘live tweet’ event where he shared behind-the-scenes information and photos from the set of Episode 3 of the new show he is producing, Sons of Tucson. The live tweet event is now over, but you can follow him on Twitter — @justinberfield.
“those were Tylers glasses in the 1st scene.The sun was killing him and we thought they looked Snuffkin like.”
“Gabe AKA “Asskiss” is played by buddy Handleson. He appears in a later episode called “Kisses and Beads” ”
“Fred Savage directed this episode.”
“In this episode the boys make a short film that required to fake “bad acting” Not easy!”
“We created the storm drain on stage and it leaked nearly collapsing the entire stage floor.”
“HOPE EVERY1 ENJOYED #SONSOFTUCSON. LESSON: BE NICE TO ALPACAS, COPS, AND STEER CLEAR OF ILLEGAL VIAGRA!”
Sound advice from Justin there. You can see all these photos (plus a few more) in our Sons of Tucson Season 1 Behind the Scenes Gallery.
