May 24, 2002:  A western film short spent three days in Lone Pine, May 19-21 filming in the rocks just off Movie Flat Road. Called “Bounty”, and directed by Dominic Cianciolo, the film deals with the theme of revenge. Supported by the Inyo County Film Commission, Bishop BLM and the Dow Villa, the shoot was good except for the weather. Dominic wrote, “The only thing we really had to suffer through was the wind, and the lack of any usable cell phone signal while we were up in the hills.” Jody Winchester of the Totem Cafe catered meals for the crew and actors, and as the wind whistled, food began to move across the table. If it wasn’t dust, it was dark clouds affecting the light. Written by Jess Lawler, the movie stars Leo Marks as Mel and Joe Sikora as Matty. Lisa Guzman produced the movie which will be edited by August and then begin to make the rounds at Film Festivals . Keep an eye out for this newest addition to 80 years of filming on location in Lone Pine.
