Behind the Scenes on 'The Blair Witch Project' Page #2

---

Yeah, and she was kind of crazy.

How was she seen by the community?

Crazy.

There's the American flag,

it's Mary's house.

I'm gonna bring her out.

You look for the best light, okay?

Okay.

This is Mary's gate.

I'm not even sure how to open it.

And something interesting

happened to you once. . .

You met the Blair witch?

Yes.

That is really. . .

. . . kind of a scary story.

To make ends meet. . .

. . . my Dad and I

. . . used to fish at Tappy's Creek.

In Burkittsville.

I was laying on the leaves. . .

. . .watching my pole, and

looking at the sky. . .

. . .and suddenly I felt

something near me. . .

. . . an eerie feeling. . .

. . . It was a woman. . .

. . .only on her

arms and hands. . .

. . .and everything. . .

. . .she had hair . . .

. . .dark, almost black hair. . .

. . .Iike a horse. . .

. . .Iike a fur, horse fur.

Then on her arm. . .

. . .she had a shawl. . .

And she scared you,

or threatened you?

She didn't say anything,

she just stared. . .

. . .and then she opened her shawl. . .

What was under there?

She had hair on her

body like a horse.

Hairy from head to toe?

Yeah. And her legs. . .

-How about her face?

-You could see she was a female.

She was just strange looking.

Thank God she's

not in the film business.

She thinks she is.

She also says she's a ballerina.

Get out.

And she says she's a historian. . .

I heard that.

. . .and that she's a scientist

at the Department of Energy.

I f***ed up on Mary

with the depth of field.

You measured it in meters?

We're not in Europe.

The f***ing lens

has meters on it.

It also has our system.

Nah, it has meters. Look.

But it's an American camera.

All those are meters.

What about the brown ones?

They're feet.

The brown ones are on there, right?

Yeah, but the white

ones are obvious.

-Didn't you use this camera before?

-Yeah. Once before.

How was today, guys?

I learned a lot, man.

About Mary Brown?

No, I learned a lot about. . .

. . .about shooting, just

shooting documentaries.

-We kicked some ass today.

-Cheers.

Very good day.

Excellent day.

Very good first day.

Let's do an equipment check,

after I call my mom.

-I got a bag of Utz and a beer.

-We don't need that on film.

So I guess you're covered then.

Could you run it a little

to check it's okay?

Sure.

I just want to check it's loaded

properly so we can shoot. . .

Okay, that's good, that's good.

That's good, thank you.

Let's relax, because we've got

a long day tomorrow.

Today's been easy.

We're gonna have to do a lot

of hiking, carry a lot of weight.

We're preparing.

Shut up, smartass.

Pour me a shot, please.

-I'm freaking out.

-You can't, you're the director.
