August: Osage County Photo Booth

August: Osage County Movie Wrap Party –  with Juliette Lewis, Benedict Cumberbatch, Abigail Breslin, Meryl Streep, and Margo Martindale in attendance

————————————————————————————-
A few months back we received a call from an advertising agency who wanted to book one of our Photo Booths for an event.   Little did we know, it was for the August: Osage County Wrap Party with Juliette Lewis, Benedict Cumberbatch, Abigail Breslin, Meryl  Streep, and Margo Martindale.

The day of the wrap party arrived and I went early to set up the photo booth that day. It was located in a nondescript old hotel that from the outside you would never guess would hold A-List movie stars that evening!  The hotel was still under remodel and had exposed 2×4’s and concrete floors throughout. They had covered the exterior windows to prevent onlookers from the outside. I finished my set-up and also met one of the directors of the movie and made a few minor adjustments to the logo he had sent over and he was really pleased with it. I then left to set up for another event as my girlfriend Julia had decided she was going to work this event ever since finding out there was a possibility George Clooney might be showing up! LOL

Julia arrived about 45 minutes before the party and said they already had quite a bit of security! Of course, she also had decided she needed a NEW dress for this big time Hollywood event in Bartlesville (even after I told her she was in a room with concrete floors and exposed sheetrock and 2×4’s). She called me one time to make a minor adjustment to the Photo Booth and then said they told her she couldn’t have her phone out. I was working another event at a wedding that night and it was killing me that I didn’t know how things were going. She later said that she had instructions not to speak to any of the stars and that no Iphone pictures were allowed.  She did however have the chance to meet the stars in attendance which were Meryl Streep, Juliette Lewis, Margo Martindale, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Abigail Breslin.   All of who we’re incredibly nice and down to earth people.

I finally arrived at about 1 am after my event and the party was still going strong. I saw an unmarked police car that was literally just circling the one block radius where the event was held as well as three security guys in suits at the front door. I walked right in and went to our Excellence Photo Booth not knowing what to expect. The room was completely packed with people and they were absolutely having a blast in the Photo Booth!  Julia started introducing me to all of the people she had met, director this and director that, Juliette Lewis, Benedict Cumberbatch etc…  I thought, what have I walked into here. 🙂

After meeting several people, Co-Stars Juliette Lewis and Benedict Cumberbatch decided to take some pictures and have some fun! Juliette took several pictures with cast members in the photo booth and her and Benedict took two together.  George Clooney didn’t attend but it was neat to be apart of a unique and probably once in a lifetime event for this area! 🙂
