Almaden Films is definitely from the "let's-get-it-done-and-get-the-hell-out-of-here" school of film shooting. Flanagan and his crew are filming a scene from their new movie, Bald Witch, at Allie's Corner Cafe in historic downtown Campbell. "Crew" might be an overstatement. There is an actress playing a waitress who is being interviewed about the appearance in town of a legendary spirit called the Bald Witch (a takeoff on the surprise film blockbuster of the season, The Blair Witch Project). There is Flanagan himself, peering through a hand-held camera and chipping in dialogue at the same time. A female assistant operates a microphone boom; another couple of helpers stand behind Flanagan and watch the filming. That's it.
