Tom Riley shared a number of photos on Instagram as The Toll Road, the short film he directed, wrapped in California. Tom also posted some more info about those helping make the film, as well as the actors featuring in it - Lizzy Caplan, Martin Starr, Anthony Carrigan and Billy Gardell. Check it out on Tom's Instagram. Though we still don't know what the film is actually about. Mona Sumibcay and George Guzman shared some great behind the scenes photos from the shoot.
I made a little film in California the last few days. Or shot one anyway. ...The next bit is a whole new chance to blow it. BUT what we got this week exceeded what I saw in my wildest imagination.
Thank you so much to all the friends, old and new, who gave up their time and energy to realise what was a nigh on impossible schedule.
The actors - @martinstarr, #billygardell, @carriganagain and the unbelievable lead actress who couldn’t say no if she’d wanted to.
My insanely talented DP @supertreyz, who prepped so hard for so many hours with me she now knows me better than my mother.
@parispickard - who effortlessly production designed this crazy world into literal existence. @momoclay, who broke records for the number of setups we smashed through in 24 hours.
Our brilliant producers, @thekidsatplay, who took a risk on a first-time director for no reason more than the love of the game and a weakness for a British accent. We owe you one.
And then all our besties: @monaksumibcay, @kevingchristy, @lanahorochowski @georgeguzman, @gogogorosh, @clmchicago, and Rick Galazka, who wrote such a brilliant script which we are very aware is the main (if not only) reason everyone said yes. You are all next level love machines. We think you’re the business.
Alright, alright Tom. Shut up. You haven’t won an award, for Christ’s sake. You haven’t even cut the thing. Jesus.
(But thanks everyone. I’m proper humbled - and if you don’t see your name on this list, and you are one of our talented friends we’re yet to ask a favour from, then don’t worry, it’s probably coming).
