Yesterday, I ran into an indie-film director friend of mine, Juliette and got thinking of the few projects we’ve done together over the past few years.
The first was her short ‘The Love Story of Alfred. J. Pintuck’ - a few years ago, she called me up and said that she had a ‘role so perfect for me she couldn’t cast anyone’. Now, I’m not an actor, but immediately thought perhaps a super-hero, or race-car driver was in the makes. I was to later find out it was a womanizing drunk bar owner…c’est la vie. It was fun nonetheless and she did a great job with it – fusing black & white with Shanghai backdrops adding with it a gorgeous score done by the first band I produced here, The Rock Star Posers.
The other one was my failed attempt at making our local music show into television. It was great fun, everyone came out, ended up with me being put in jail for throwing a coked-up heckler through a glass window. Am still a bit bummed this never got off of the ground, but got a call from a friend yesterday who thinks we might be able to collaborate.
Perhaps that ‘face for radio’ theory is right.
