122. Character


My sister Sarah wrote a screen play for a short, found friends to help her get it shot, and is now in the process of final editing. Unbelievable! In order to submit the short to film festivals, she needed "cast" photos done and asked me to help out. I have no idea what cast photos are, but I was game.

The short is called He Loves Me Not... I would hate to provide an inaccurate description since I haven't read the final draft, but basically it is about a girl desperate to be loved and falling for the wrong guy --again. Chip plays the stoner roommate and Patrick the good looking trust fund player.  We spent a chunk of the day together recording them in and out of character and of course having a blast.

For years I had a portrait business and spent a lot of weekends taking photographs of people that paid me to take their photographs, but didn't like having their photos taken. I always felt like people were hiring me to torture them. Today was so different. I was working with three actors and even though they may have occasionally felt self conscious, it was obvious they really enjoyed the process.

Possible summer project?
