L.C.A. FILMS recently had to put production on REMEMBER THE BEST TIMES on hold after our Cameraman left the film for other projects and left our feature in limbo. As it looks right now, we are going to have to start the film over from the very beginning and re-cast certain roles. We are currently casting for the parts of Richard (the character James McDonald was initially playing), the role of Traci (the part Gidget Anthony had been playing) and also the part of Brooke (initially played by Andrea Moore). James decided to take himself out of the film to concentrate solely on directing and being DP and unfortunately, both Gidget's and Andrea's schedules got too busy so they had to leave the film also. More news later.
