Our story takes place during the hot, HOT days of August in a fictitious town called Pico Mundo, set in California. The time period is contemporary – now, 2011. The setting is a smallish, quaint, beautiful, friendly gently prosperous desert town where everyone knows and really likes one another.

PEDESTRIANS & DRIVERS with cars: THE GRILL where we are filming is THE spot to grab breakfast, a coffee, the paper, greet your townspeople friends. Dress the look of our town, mixing the idea that some people will be going off to work, some off to a relaxing summer day, some just hanging out, some gathering sustenance to do their art, etc. If you are in the younger age range, you should dress hip, cool & casually sexy. - -please come dressed and ready in your first choice outfit and bring 3-4 additional options of every day casual clothing and business to business casual clothing to include: jeans, slacks, dockers, khakis, cargos, shorts, skirts, mini-skirts, dresses, blouses, polos, tshirts or tank tops without logos, shorts, sundresses, capri pants, suit jackets, dress pants, nice shirts, business work clothes (suits, tie, dress shoes, etc.) Remember that it is a hot, summer desert town. Remember to bring shoes, jewelry, handbags, etc to compliment your outfit choices.
