Wrightwood on Film

[LasPulgas]

WHY do people feel they can come enjoy our small community and just leave their trash everywhere

I'd like to give them a major noogie when they do that!!!

It's a music video.  The band is called Young Guns...must be a teen thing???

I drove by (on Linnet I think) and one of my grandkids said, "Look, it's snowing over there!" They've never visited when it's snowing and got all excited. Maybe at Christmas....

When I first saw it, I thought someone trucked it in so they could take a picture of their house with snow for a Christmas card.

Actually the production company approached the owners and had permission to film at their home. Everything was taped on private property. There wasn't any trash left after cleanup and no reason for anyone to be upset. Wrightwood is a beautiful place and should welcome people to share it with us. If they take care of the property they are using then what's the problem?

That's not entirely true. We happen to own property next door to the filming location and had a boom truck parked on our lot without permission and trash was left in numerous spots along the street.

The film shots may have been taken of one home on private property but the support equipment was not completely on one piece of private property.

If the filming company had the proper county permits to close the street, had permission from ALL private property owners which was used, had not left trash, had not left a traffic hazard with ice on the street - then I agree we should welcome people to Wrightwood.

The film crew came to town and made a lot of people happy
Well, not all were happy. My goodness, they made snow
and ice in our town.. They even rented all the rooms in the
motels, (bed tax income ), Spent money at the mini mart,
jensons, resturants, and some of these outsiders even did
some shopping in the local shops, (sales tax for the village)
But the worst part is they parked a truck on private property
WITHOUT permission.
I for one say thanks to the film crew for spending thousands
of dollars in my little village

Just because a film crew "spent thousands of dollars in town", it does not give them the right to park illegally on private property or to leave trash around the site of the shoot.  It would be the same as saying that the snowplayers who spend money in town buying snow play toys and clothing then leave the broken toys and trash behind is OK.  

NOT!

Spending money in town does not give any one (or group) license to trespass or litter.

You know I have neighbors and complete strangers parking in front of my house all the time. Do I complain? No. Its the same as people parking in front of my mom's house in Rancho Cucamonga - we just don't have the sidewalks streets, etc that other towns do. And I really find it funny that the supposed trash found in the area was just assumed to be belonging to the film crew when I have trash on my street all the time from kids and who knows who else. I just think we here jump on everyone who may do something wrong when we probably have done it too. You can't tell me that everyone here has never littered or parked on someone's property for a little bit. We're not all perfect. I would understand if some damage had been done but there wasn't so I still don't get the big deal.

[Wrightwood]

Parking on a public street is one thing - parking on private property is a liability issue, especially with a boom truck. If someone gets hurt who gets sued?

The trash was from the film crew. Some of their trash included coffee cups in neighbors yards in addition they left one of their cafeteria style coffee dispensers.

A commercial film crew using Wrightwood as a backdrop has a  responsibility to perform in a professional manner and that includes picking up their trash and not using private property for off street parking without permission.

I can honestly say I have never littered At least to my knowledge!!  My 3 year daughter knows that people who litter are" rude and naughty and need a time out"  If a three year old can figure that out why can't supposed professionals.

Another tempest in a tea pot!! I am more disgusted by the locals who don't clean up their lots, leave brokendown cars and tires etc. for all of us others to observe. I'll stop here before this is deleted.

I have seen the video, showing the house on Oak and Thrush. It is of a rap band called Young Gunz. It was filmed at the house in Wrightwood, and at Mountain High. If interested in the link to view it,

It is interesting to see. Especially when they fall off the snowmobile. :-[

I didn't notice anything odd during the snow mobile crash. I did notice lots of brown spots in Mt High's snow coverage

[BabyEagle]

I hate that "rap crap".  I wouldn't have let them in my house for any amount of money.

[Chuck]

Beautiful home!!

I THINK THE LINK DIDN'T WORK, BECAUSE I LEFT SEVERAL IMPORTANT NUMBERS OUT... SORRY. I NEVER CLAIMED TO BE 'PUTER LITERATE!  I DID TRY, THO.  

[Surfer_Dude]

Those Wrightwood Crips never clean up their trash.

Anybody know the appropriate contact to determine the  movies made in the WW area?   Any movie stars live here?  Maybe the local historical society could feature a Wrightwood Goes to Hollywood exhibit?

[WWDREAMN]

A few weeks (maybe a month or so) ago, they were shooting part of a  movie at the video zone. It was probably between 9 and 10 at night. The next time I was in there, I asked about it and was told it was some horror movie.
