Memories of the film:
-Horribly exhausting. Shot in 6 days during finals week 8pm-8am.
-Horribly cold. Shot in a warehouse in November with no insulation and I wore only a thin nylon shirt.
-Really horribly cold. Strapped to sheet metal with sheet metal at 4am was no fun. I wasn't able to bend my knees for 3 hours. And we had to shoot it twice.
-I lost nearly 10lbs prior to shooting. I've currently lost this willpower.
-I didn't have contacts yet, so I was blind as a bat.-It was fun.
is THAT how you were cast? i didn't even remember that until you said it here. honestly, i can't even imagine a time where you weren't the main character! anybody else in that role is just a horrible idea!
ReplyDeletedefinitely agreed on the "horrors" of making the film, and the "fun" part. it was one of the best weeks of my life! (and I lost 25lbs during filming)
and a BIG sorry about having to shoot the electrocution scene twice. that was VERY much MY bad. ;)
p.s. this is about to get much wider circulation on a dvd collection of sorts that you'll be hearing about soon :)
Whoa, just saw this comment many months later.
ReplyDeleteI think I lost about 20lbs shooting my film; I also got sick and ended having the worst fever of my life. I talked my girlfriend out of taking me to the hospital.
Did Nabil Abou-Harb tell you I blew his mind because we had a class all semester and he didn't recognize me behind my glasses, beard and hair?
