Picturing: Graveyard Shift Contact Sheet

Reopening my 'Graveyard Shift' files sent me back to the 1985, as I reviewed photos, memos, call sheets, and sketches related to that film's production. Affixed above is a partial contact sheet of photographs I took right before commencement of the 'graveyard set' shoot.

I was hired to design and build a... graveyard set. The studio was on George Street here in Toronto. (I also painted designs on 'flats' for a party scene.)

Graveyard Shift was released in the States as Central Park Drifter.

The bottom right photograph is of the late Tim Mogg, the talented special-makeup artist who went on to enjoy a prolific career.
