Today Carson and I hit the first real bump in the road. We had an interview and film shoot set up for Little Bangkok, a famous Thai restaurant on Cheshire Bridge Road but were unable to film because of a miscommunication. I believe the manager was under the impression that we would be interviewing for an article on the restaurant and not a short film. The owner did not feel comfortable with us filming while they were working so we had to respect his wishes and find somewhere else to go. Because we did not want to waste the rest of the day we spent about an hour at Little Bangkok researching on our phones other places we could go. We decided a dessert place would be best because it was such short notice. We called a few donut shops first however they just referred us to their websites. Finally we got in touch with the staff at Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream on Howell Mill Road and they were nice enough to let us film on short notice. We then did some research on the Ice Cream shop so we knew a little bit about them before walking in and we found out that they have a few restaurants nationally and they're famous for their exotic flavors and blends that are unusual to the ice cream world. We arrived and the entire staff was incredibly welcoming and nice. They also were all very eager to help us on our project and had great knowledge of the store they worked in. The shoot went very smoothly and the ice cream was delicious! Carson and I were so happy and fortunate to have made the most out of the first real bump we hit.
