So i met a guy at work that directs and produces movies. We got to talking and I told him that I am a huge movie fan and i have always been interested in what it is like to be a filmmaker and to actually make a movie. I also think I would be very star struck if I got around any actor of any caliber that I knew.
Well, we got to talking and he said that he was going to be filming a short movie that he wanted to enter into the Academy Awards for 2013! So I'm thinking that i need to stay in touch with this guy and figure something out. He told me that the next location he would be filming at is a place called Floyd Lamb State Park, which happens to be about 2 minutes from where we are living and where we will be moving to! Crazy!! So i tell him that I would love to come over to the set and see how it is all done.
He said it would be just fine and would love to have me come out to see how its all made. Well... the next day i go to work and he had been there that morning. He gave Jim, one of the therapists i work with, his card to give to me. He said to have me call him about something. So i off handedly say, "does he want me to have a part in his movie or something?", and Jim looks at me and says, "why would you say that, I'm not supposed to tell you but since you guessed right, he wants you to call him so that you could possibly get in as an extra or something in the movie."
HOLY CRAP! I really think that was one of my bucket list items that i have always wanted to do, i mean can you imagine if this movie actually won an academy award! It's not like this director is a local nobody. He was Adrien Brody's acting coach! If any of you don't know who Adrien Brody is, he is just some guy who i guess won some, not that important award called, "the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Drama" for The Pianist! Hmmm kinda a big deal. I have read on some people's blogs that talked about this guy and said that you can't even get in to talk to him let alone go behind the scenes and get one on one talking time without being referred by someone who knows someone who knows someone else!
Pretty much i am excited as crap to possible be involved in this, even if it happens to be a big cheesy B movie flop. I most definitely just want to be involved and learn that business because it has always interested me, and if you ask anyone that i know if i like movies, they would probably say i would want to be buried with my movie collection haha
Anyway, cool stuff happening 'round here! I'll keep everything updated if anything happens!
