For the first week of production, we had very few onlookers. The first few days were on a relatively busy street in the South Lake Morton district, but the scenes were indoors. A few cars slowed down, and we had more reporters than residents stopping to take a look.
That changed Monday. The production moved to a trio of homes near Lake Morton, and almost every scene was outdoors. Many of the Lakeland residents who follow this production blog and our Twitter updates figured out we were in the area and came by for a look.
Some seemed very interested in the production and some in the cast, but all were respectful to the cast and crew, and quiet during filming. There were a couple of folks who didn't seem to be movie fans. One driver ignored road blocks and crew members to drive past the set. And one local resident wasn't about to let a film interrupt her daily walk. But they were far less an interruption than the bird who couldn't interrupt his love song for our crime thriller.
The Boom Mike operator tried to shoo him away, but he just jumped up one wire. Sound wasn't too perturbed. It's hard to blame a bird for whistling in Spring.

My friend and I were watching on the set and I have to say that the crew was so kind. They explained what was going on and the various roles of the crew members. Joey Lauren Adams looks so young (Judd Nelson was inside and we couldn't see that much of him.)Thanks for bringing some excitement to Lakeland
