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. http://vimeo.com/53564608 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.
It has potential based on the short that I saw. The acting is surprisingly good and the shots are too. I'd bet your grandma is more spot on than you give her credit for regarding the film.... maybe not your looks :) Interesting idea for a subject. I'd watch the final version, you ought to post it here someday.
The funny thing about looks, that I realized just as I posted this: it's a document of the last days in my life when I viewed clothes as merely functional. I did myself no favors. Thanks for the kind words. After we've successfully debuted it somewhere locally we'll make it available online, and I will share.
