  • Craft (the Moffats)

    PEGGY MOFFAT, Craft Service - OK, here’s what you need to know: Peggy is AMAZING! On our opening BBQ she made these insane Coconut cookies and I knew the biggest challenge for me over the course of the movie would be not to gain 50 lbs!!! On top of that, Peggy jumped in and took on managing all of our food and beverage needs on the shoot. Having never done it before, she learned on the go and made it all work. Plus she also was a calming presence and great to have on set. Plus she’s Jake’s mom which was great because we often needed her to reel Jake in when he was on the verge of exploding. (I’m kidding!)

    EMILY MOFFAT, Craft PA and also… Jane - Emily was incredible on this movie. Besides giving us her husband, Jake, for a few months and helping Peggy with craft, Emily played Jane in the movie and she was great. She held her own improvising with Michael Hobert which is saying quite a lot!!! She has a special place in my heart… 

    ASSORTED MOFFATS, OK, craft services on our movie was pretty much handled by the Moffat family! In addition to Peggy and Emily, we had Parker (Jake’s dad), Rob (Jake’s brother), Madison (Jake’s sister), Meg (Jake’s sister as well). Plus we had Kent and Chris Rhodes (Jake’s Uncle and Aunt) helping out… - It was great to look over and see the Moffats working the table and making sure there was Diet Coke for the director!!! The Moffats were a huge part of what we did!
