Friday, Feb 5th


The cast were awake and in the van by 6 am for their first shoot at the recreated "Baryo" village.

The morning's shooting schedule would divide the soldiers into two teams of six to shoot the final scene of the movie.To recreate the village Sayles, known for investing heavily in preproduction built an entire village out of traditional materials, and Spanish Catholic Church, and a bell tower.

The scene featuring Brian Lee Franklin and James Parks went relatively smoothly, wrapping just before lunch.

The afternoon scene would begin one of the most complicated yet. The scene required coordinating nearly all the main cast, including Chris Cooper, Garret Dillahunt, and Merlin Bonning on horseback, and choreographing squibs (minitature explosive divises), and finally the death of extra and contributer Erik Anderson's character.

The weather again proved problematic and most of the scene would have to be completed the day after to match the afternoon light.
