RECON…! LOCATION SCOUT: THE MOJAVE DESERT

Dir., A. Crossen. 6/21/13.

A few years back, I was working at an isolated Army base located between Las Vegas and Barstow, California.  There was a lot of time to think on that hour-long drive to and from work.  As the raw, naked terrain slipped by, revealing its massive scale around each bend, I couldn’t help wonder, how many bodies were buried out there?

How many missing persons have been laid to rest, hidden in plain sight, within the past hundred years?

So, it only made sense as Abel’s Promise came about, that the Mojave Desert would feature prominently as a key location for the  action in this film.

We’re shooting the movie on a Canon C300.  Can’t wait. Principal photography begins in July.

“I’M GONNA HAVE TO TAKE STEPS…”


As the concept for the upcoming trailer filled my mind’s eye, I listened to a piece of music from film composer, John Powell.  It’s called, At the Hairdressers.  It’s from The Bourne Identity soundtrack.
