Hooray for Swollywood!

On the way to the gym tonight [about a block from our apartment], there was a film crew for Swedish TV. Some sort of period piece was in production. Horse-drawn carriages. Vintage cars. Costumes from the turn of the century - the previous century. Wigs and bonnets. Handlebar moustaches! They also added some small pine trees which looked kind of like Charlie Brown Christmas trees. It attracted quite a crowd. It also blocked the entrance to one of the local gyms. Poor gym-bunnies. And poor street cleaners. Those horses were pretty prolific.

Below is the director, I believe. Or maybe some random Swedish film producer type. The important thing is that he was on the other side of the tape separating 'film people' from us regular gawkers and groupies. Yes, I think I spotted a couple of groupies. Groupies tend to make any event more important than it actually is.

The scene being filmed takes place during the winter. Pictured below is a man who was spraying the sidewalk and streets with a white substance to simulate snow. Tomorrow, back to Spring!
