We mentioned that Wingman, the second Voicemails film, was coming up and sure enough, production week finally arrived. The film is directed by Tony Cope and is the story of how suicidal veterans lean on their wingman in times of need after their service ends.

Check out some BTS photos taken by Production Designer Emily Mormann.

Wingman took 3 exhausting days to film.

Day 1 was all exteriors on one of the hottest days of the year. Day 3 was full of dark scenes and shot until 3am. But these are the easy things.

For 3 days, we brought to life the chaos fueled darkness of suicide ideation for our camera. The actors and crew, as well as our Marine veteran and project collaborator Michael 'Top' Washington, did such an exceptional job with such an emotionally exhausting task.
