We wrote/shot this for a friend's MFA assignment. There's a final cut that runs about half an hour but aside from submitting it to a few festivals we haven't done much with it. The film won awards from the school but that's kind of like having your grandma tell you you're handsome.
Most of my involvement in friends' productions has been behind the scenes. I acted a bit in middle school but wasn't into it much at the time. Even when we shot this, I wasn't completely sold on the idea of 'acting' and struggled with it, a bit, which was kind of the point of doing the thing 'about' me. It started as a question - can I make a movie about you? The answer was 'no'. Let's make a movie about that, then.
I think I'm more drawn to acting now if only because the idea of ditching my personal issues and taking on the life of someone else is appealing. A friend (the bald one) suggested it. We'd like to do some weird parlor theater.
