I have some questions about filming on the Mystic River.

As a few of you in this comm know, I'm making a movie. Because of the tiny budget I have, I nearly passed out when I heard the rates the MDC charges for shooting in the areas it governs ($24/hour for a cop on duty).

The scene I'd want to shoot is fairly small; a cast of 12 and a five-person crew (if that). We would not be shooting sound, and we would be using available light. From a distance, those who didn't know any better would probably think we were having a picnic.

My questions are: how heavily does the MDC police the Mystic River Reservation? What is the likelihood that our production would get shut down? Also, does the "we're film students" excuse still fly?

What with all the talk about terrorists commandeering LNG tankers and plowing them into cities, I guess I can understand why, but yeah, still sorta creepy.

It's pretty fun when tankers come in or out, too (once or twice a week). State Trooper dive team in the parking lot, Coast Guard choppers buzzing the building. It's a real hoot.
