last June a production co. Called me and wanted me to teach an actor about gold panning for an upcoming series.
When i found out who and what the production was i got pretty excited.
signed an NDA so i haven't mentioned it.
drove out to Petaluma and near Bodega bay to work with Tom Waits for his upcoming role in the Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
His short is based on a story by Jack London
All Gold canyon All Gold Canyon by Jack London
It's a great Story if you are a prospector.
A very good description of loaming.
The character is looking for "Mr. Pocket"
The propmaster mailed me a couple old style pans and some "paydirt" to take wiyh me when I met up with tom.
The paydirt was from a Colorado hardrock mine...so, it was totally barren of gold
Luckily i brought some good cons with me and some chunks of "Mr .Pocket" to show Tom why his character had the fever.
Went over some facts and leends with him Had a great time. he was a cool guy as i knew he would be. i've been a fan for years.
I took "Mr. Pocket" with me and left him with the paydirt and about half a gram of placer and the cons to practice with.
I drove to Bodega Bay camped caught my limit of crab off the jetty the next morning and went home.
can't wait to watch the series. it is getting a lot of praise.
they teased me that i may fly out to Colorado for filming but, it didn't "pan out"
