Behind the Scenes of Back to the Future Again - SPI TV, Ep. 14


So this is Puente Hills Mall in the city of Industry, just south of LA which is actually
the same parking lot that they filmed Back to the Future 1 in where Doc Brown and Marty
McFly took the DeLorean for a ride.
But we actually filmed this short film on the same kind of camera they filmed Back to
the Future 1 in.
That's why the final product is a little grainy and feels just like the real thing.
And this idea for a short film to help open my keynote presentation at New Media Expo
in 2015 ... Man I never thought it would be like this.
I never thought that there would be this crew with a makeup team and a costume team and
actually all the Back to the Future stuff was stuff I already owned but extras and sound
production people and having the whole parking lot section of this mall taped off which actually
required some licensing and a lot of planning and big shout outs to Taylor Hart the producer
for really making this all happen ... but man it turned out to be this amazing, amazing
experience.
And a film that really, really set the tone for what my presentation would eventually
become.
And as you can see we had a lot of fun on this day, too which actually lasted from 6
pm on March 24th, 2015 all the way till 3:30 am the next day.
So it was amazing just how much we were able to get done but also how much we filmed for
a 3 minute movie.
It was incredible to see everybody, the whole team working together.
And actually a lot of the team was there never met each other before.
But they all knew their role and that's kind of how it works in Hollywood and to be a part
of it and actually be the lead role acting silly and being dorky on camera, it was just
so cool.
I mean look at this guy.
He's carrying a 50 pound rig as they come around.
So you're going to meet a couple of actors and they'll share some more things with you
in just a sec.
Alright so we just wrapped up the first half of the short film in the tour bus and here
are our lovely tour guides.
We have Angie and Charlie.
You guys, thank you so much for coming out and helping out.
It really meant a lot to me.
Thank you!
How long you guys been acting for?
I've been acting for about 6 years but the tour guide thing is real for me so I do that
during the day job and actually- And that's your tour bus!
Yeah I brought the tour bus with me.
That's how I got hired.
I come with a tour bus.
Than you, man.
I appreciate that.
Angie, how long have you been acting?
I've been acting for two years.
But modeling commercial work for probably 10 years or so.
Thank you guys so much for your help.
Thanks so much.
Thanks for having us.
The DeLorean, the time machine from Back to the Future, we actually rented this car from
a guy named Adam Kontras who actually has a business renting out this DeLorean which
is doing very well especially this year being the 30th year anniversary of Back to the Future
and it was just so cool.
So here we are Puente Hills Mall sort of in between San Diego and Los Angeles and you
can see behind me the DeLorean.
Seriously, I'm freaking out right now because there's a DeLorean behind me and I'm doing
something special to open up NMX.
I always bring my A game to my presentations and I thought because I'm doing new media
expo and starting with the opening keynote I wanted to go big.
So what bigger than filming a short film that I'm going to play at the beginning of my presentation
which is going to lead to something else that you'll see in just a little bit.
But and this has just been so cool to work with so many people who are helping me put
this together and just taking a little script that I wrote and actually realizing it is
just so cool.
I can't believe I'm here.
This is so crazy.
Cool stuff is happening.
So, gotta do some acting, and other cool stuff.
I'm totally out of my element but, hey, there's a DeLorean behind me so nothing could go wrong,
right?
Awesome.
Director: Action.
[inaudible 00:03:43][inaudible 00:03:44] Now the actor who played Doc Brown, the lookalike,
his name is Allan Murray.
He was spot-on with his impression as you'll hear.
Harry!
You can take this DeLorean around the parking lot one time but whatever you do don't go
over 88 miles per hour.
We all know what'll happen if you do.
You're gonna see some serious [beep].
Yeah, we actually took that last line out of the short film, the final product.
But it is actually in the original movie but I have a lot of kids who listen to my podcast
and I know a lot of them would be watching this in the future so I decided to take that
out.
But it was really funny, every time Allan did a Doc Brown impression when we filmed
whenever we cut the whole crew would go crazy because it sounded just like the real thing.
It was insane.
Hey guys, don't pass in front.
Hey don't, don't- I'm here again, had some coffee earlier.
But they're actually letting me drive this thing.
Ridiculous, I never thought ... honestly didn't think I'd be able to drive it but I'm just
sort of moving back and forth.
They're getting some shots of me inside.
It's crazy.
Insane.
Never thought I'd do this.
How fast are you driving?
Like 10 miles an hour (laughs) So the cool thing about this DeLorean is actually
this is the one from Back to the Future 2.
It has that white Mr. Fusion in the back as you can see there.
And yes, that is a drone following it right now.
In my presentation when I come out on stage, that's a different DeLorean rented from somebody
else that is from Back to the Future 1.
It doesn't have the Mr. Fusion.
Actually it's funny, a few people messaged me after saying, "That's not the same DeLorean."
And it was kind of cool to know there are other dorks like me out there.
This woman that you're seeing right there [crosstalk 00:05:33], her name is Katie Danza.
That's actually Tony Danza's daughter who is our makeup artist for the day.
What?
Yeah, Tony Danza's daughter.
Light, huh!
So this is our Doc Brown, Allan Murray.
He's just spot on with Doc.
It's a pleasure to act with Pat Flynn.
Or as I call him, Patty!
From now on, whatever advice you need, you can talk to Pat.
No matter what year, whatever he's giving.
Go back to the future Pat.
So I'm here with my very good friend, Mitchell Peck.
Mitchell, I just want to thank you so much for making all of this happen.
There's a lot of people involved obviously but Mitchell and I go back to Crooked Arrows
days.
Can you explain really quick how you actually found me back then?
Sure.
I'm Mitchell Peck.
I'm a movie producer and my last movie was an independent movie called Crooked Arrows.
And because it was an independent movie, not a studio movie, I was able to try out all
my hair-brained ideas and one of them was to bring on an expert in social media and
marketing the movie in non-traditional studio ways which a studio at that time wasn't doing
like even a handful of years ago.
So I found Pat as one of the lead guys online.
I wrote him a cold email and said, "I'm making this movie, the audience is organized and
passionate and I think ideal for someone of your skill set to help us engage" and he said
he's always loved movies and in fact would be willing to take on this life adventure.
Yeah, it was so fun.
We ended up having a good time doing that.
And now you're doing some stuff with script writing.
Mitchell helps people get their scripts into Hollywood.
He's helped ... How many people have you helped?
A lot.
A lot.
I've traveled all around the world.
I have a side consultancy called HollywoodEmbassy.com and it helps aspiring screenwriters optimize
their scripts to get them up to studio caliber and as screenwriting has global ambition to
get into Hollywood it occurred to me that someone of my skill set could help writers
and so that's been my specialty of my 3 studio movies they've all been with first time unrepresented
screenwriters, so I got them through the system.
Yeah.
So I'm always looking for outsiders and trying to bring them in.
That's why I approached Pat and so now Pat and I are working together and we've been
friends for a long time and he said he was going to do this really cool intro to his
keynote and he said can I help him produce this little movie and I said sure.
I didn't think it was going to be like this.
There were so many people here working with us and I just pitched this idea to Mitchell
and I wrote a little script and I didn't even know how to format it.
It was just like, here's my idea.
And you took it, you turned it into an actual script.
And you were like, here's what it's going to take.
You found a producer, Taylor Hart, who we're going to talk with in a few minutes.
And he's just been able to put all this together and now we're here and watching it all unfold
and it's ... Dude, like thank you, so much.
Dude it's great.
This is the fun of movie making.
It's fundamentally collaborative at every phase.
And it's great to make movies with friends and it's great to follow your dreams.
Pat's a cinephile and this came out of his head and he wrote the script and it's now
coming to life in a really first class way and it's just fun to be a part of.
Yeah.
Well thank you Mitchell.
Sure.
I appreciate you.
So HollywoodEmbassy.com if you want to get your script looked at professionally and helped
out, Mitchell's the guy.
Alright, I'm so happy to introduce Taylor Hart here.
The person who really put all of this together.
You got this whole crew together.
I don't know how did you do this man.
I know this is what you do but ... (laughs) A lot of begging, a lot of begging
and a lot of begging.
Magic (laughs) no.
I just wanted to thank you for everybody.
It's been such an incredible experience.
A dream come true to me.
It's been an experience for me, too.
Every different set is and every different project is, especially this one.
It's not like you're the only person who really loves this movie although I think you took
it to a whole different level (laughs).
But it's great to see it come to life.
And then the next level is the editorial phase where we really get to see it kind of manifest
into- Yeah, I can't wait.
The real thing.
I saw some of the shots while the things were being shot.
Yeah, it's really good.
I think the audience is going to be kind of wowed I think-
I hope so.
If we plug it in.
And I think when we tell people what we actually spent on it they're going to be floored because
making a movie and making cinema is expensive.
People don't realize how much it costs.
I had no idea.
It's my first time really being in it.
Yeah and we got ways to cut some corners, too.
We did some shots that we shouldn't have done legally but we did them.
Where can people find out more about you and what you do?
You can look me up online, Taylor Hart.
You can look me up by my company, Bipolar Propaganda, IMDB, Facebook, Instagram, so
all that jazz.
Thanks so much.
It's been a pleasure working with you.
It's been a pleasure man.
Thank you.
I can't wait to see the final product.
It's going to be sweet.
Yeah it is.
All right, thanks man.
You got it, P. Thanks again to everyone who helped me put
this whole thing together.
Thank you so much.
