Interview with Tracy Buckalew
Well, we wrapped all of the scenes with Blade. We got some incredible shots. Blade did a fantastic job with all the zombies piling on top of him. While I was there in Conyers, I was contacted by Tracy Buckalew from Gaited Horse On-line magazine to do a story on me and my horses. As it turned out, she lived 30 minutes away, so I told her to come on over to see what I do. It is really hard to do interviews over the phone. It is hard to explain what I do in person, let alone over the phone or email. Tracy's arrival was a bit of a shock when she showed up in a beat up old truck. But I like the fact that she borrowed a friends old farm truck and drove 30 mins without air conditioning to get her story. She could have done it the easy way like most reporters do and talk on the phone. So, after a few minutes of teasing her about her "ride", she got a complete education on what I do with horses. You can read about it when the story hits in July. I'll link it here when it is posted. I just wanted to say thanks to Tracy for being a good listener and understanding why and what I do.
It was pretty hot here during filming, so I was glad I didn't have to put on zombie make up. My sister Kimberly and my Dad were my stunt safety with Blade, so they had to zombie-up and be part of the scene. Pretty scary stuff. Blade must of thought that these were the ugliest people he has ever seen as the mob of zombies devoured him (its a movie, it's not real folks). Ride Fast... Take Chances!
