Was JUST at the Sheridan El stop and the grips for Little Fockers were setting up silks on the roof opposite the station. Gaffers already set up electrical equipment on platform. LOTS of energy and action around that area!
Get there! Watch the crew make movie magic!!

Alright, so most of you may know that I was the Location Manager for an amazing movie called The 5th Quarter, directed by Rick Bieber. I used my “skillz” to get you guys the inside scoop on the Chicago filming of the 3rd installment of the Fockers movie, Little Fockers (starring Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro and Jessica Alba) to get you this inside news:
Filming is slated to begin on the platform of the Sheridan El stop tonight (Wednesday) for a scene in the movie. A very friendly rigging crew let me in on that hint after I flirted shamelessly with them! Right now they are filming at the intersection of Dakin and Sheridan, and you can see a HUGE film crew, plus all of their cameras, tools, etc, right around there!
Go take pictures for me and enjoy!!!

Looks like Little Fockers is now having a night shoot over at Sheridan El Stop (Red Line).
I spotted star trailers and the director’s set up right across the street from the main terminal. My bet is that this shoot may last until 2-3 in the morning! Get over there and see if you can spot Ben Stiller!!

Just walked down Halstead and on the intersection before Lill, the third installment of the Fockers movies, Little Fockers, starring Ben Stiller is filming near an aparment complex!!!
Yay for films in Chicago!

Hungry Brain, located at 2319 W. Belmont Ave., is a neighbourhood bar with a chill attitude that has had many faces. Hungry Brain was once a bakery, a small theatre, a movie set and now, thankfully, a bar and experimental jazz venue. While sitting at the bar late one night the bartendress, Luce, gave us a history breakdown of Hungry and even pointed me to the poster that advertises the movie that was shot in 1995.
Butch Camp, starring Judy Tenuta, was an Oscar-winning highly acclaimed DVD released movie that can be summed up by the poster below:
LOVE IT! Back to Hungry Brain…
My favourite thing about Hungry Brain is that you can hear yourself think and you can have a good conversation with your drinking buddy or the friendly bartender. The joint is full of comfy couches, overstuffed armchairs, bar stools, tables and booths that can accommodate any size party and any level of intimacy. The bar glows red and is lit with candles and Christmas lights, creating a soothing jazzy feel to this laid back bar.
Hungry offers up your usual selection of beers and liquors, which is great but not the main reason you keep coming back. Every Sunday, the Sunday Transmission series is held at the Hungry Brain that presents jazz artists from Chicago and beyond!
If you are looking to avoid the crowds of bars you frequent and finally want to have an evening talking with your friends rather than shouting at them over loud crappy music, head over to Hungry Brain…and say hi to Luce for me!
This V-shaped shelf at the Hungry Brain was installed by the crew of Butch Camp for the movie!
