Joe Turkel and the Griffith Observatory
This morning we all traveled to Santa Monica to the restaurant Jack’s on Montana. They were the very generous hosts of our next interview – actor Joe Turkel.

We met Spielberg?!

The group all worked together to set up & check the filming Continue Reading

The long flight wasn’t too bad, though a little uncomfortable (the vegetarian food was unfortunately horrid and mostly inedible!), but the staff were nice and looked after us 🙂 It took over an hour to get through the airport – getting fingerprints scanned, photos taken etc. and then just trying Continue Reading
