This month I have finally fulfilled my wish to be an extra
in a movie.
Six of us shot the whole thing in four hours with two scene locations
and I was also the boom operator. A great learning experience and a fun morning
in the quiet Sunday morning streets of Rose Bay.
It’s an independent short film called “The Payoff” and there I am
as one of the “threatening” looking construction workers. The director flipped
out when we were changing into our construction clothes because I had tattoos
and insisted I be at the fore of each shot I’m in because that made me “look
the toughest” which was quite hilarious although I did look very surly because
I did a night shift before we started and I hadn’t slept for nearly twenty four
hours.
I will be sure to let you know when it's edited and uploaded. At the end of the shoot I handed Bob the Director the script I wrote last month
and he asked “when do you want to shoot it?” so it looks like I may actually be
able to cross “make a movie” off THE LIST in the next month or two.
