Our 1st day of filming at the Sweatshop brew bar near Vic Park. The bulk of the film was shot here as it was a large venue and we could use different parts of it for different "locations" within the script. We also had the largest number of extras and crew with just under 30 people. It was a long day as well, going from midday to almost 10pm, with a LOT of complex shots. Solid effort by everyone.

[https://www.boosted.org.nz/projects/let-s-launch-glass-barbie-2024-s-funniest-buddy-cop-crime-thriller-novel]Don’t forget, if you’re a Northlander, I’ll happily sit down in front of you and read you preview chapters of this book, or read you whatever you want - as an artist/entertainer, it’s important to ‘sing for my supper.’Anyway, without further ado, here’s what happening in Glass Barbie:In chapter 23, we join our hero Karl as he arrives at the Bay Blue tattoo convention, a very crim-friendly, possibly gang-affiliated tattoo convention where outsiders aren’t welcome - especially outsiders who are trying to impress the cops and especially outsiders who are here to try and find Barbie and take her away from the people making money off her misery. Can Karl get Barbie out and take her home safely? Well, the book wouldn’t be fun if it were that easy. Enjoy. https://www.boosted.org.nz/projects/let-s-launch-glass-barbie-2024-s-funniest-buddy-cop-crime-thriller-novel
