I AM...DEAD "JERRY'S" GANGSTER SET
The set of "Jerry's" was built in a garage in Cathedral City, California. The set was about six feet deep by twelve feet wide by seven feet high. The floor was covered in black cloth. The table was a light weight plastic outdoor patio furniture table, covered in black cloth. The bar was a bathroom sink cabinet that had been thrown into the street. The cabinet was covered with a board and props placed on top. The phonograph player was purchased at Target and was on loan from an Associate Producer. The fan in the foreground was placed near the camera to add a field of depth to the shot. The taxidermied turkey was pulled from the trash can of the man who has the "largest private collection of taxidermy in the world", who happens to live in Palm Springs. "Smoke" was created with a cheap Halloween fog machine. The slot machine belonged to Rik Phillips, the actor who played "Jerry" (on right in the photo above). Mr. Phillips son, Jason Phillips, plays the second lead in the film (center).
Total cost of the set $25.
