Picture this: You and your friends are taking a brisk hike through the Himalayas enjoying the fresh breeze sifting through your hair. You inhale the serene qualities of nature and out of nowhere you notice in the distance something familar. It’s not until you decide to investigate the situation further and lo and behold, painted on some rocks are advertisements for Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
You all wonder how in God’s green earth did advertisements for soft drinks end up in the Himalayas (of all places)?
When I was in high school, my friends and I over the course of an entire summer would shoot 35MM films. We filmed original movies only. With titles like Boris the Spider, Degenerate Donkeys and Kyle the Barbarian we utilized whatever space we could to flesh out the feature including abandoned parking lots, run down apartment complexes and for one scene in particular a tilted shack.
