Capture and shoot me!

With a camera, that is.

Jeff, Heather and I were called to Glenn's office for our publicity photoshoot yesterday.

He wanted to get all three of our faces together - had a sample from some movie poster to demonstrate his idea. It was funny because Jeff is 6'1 (when he doesn't slouch), Heather is like 5'9 (taller with heels on) and I'm 5'2 - and a half.

I ended up standing on a toolbox Glenn had in his office and we stood like mannequins for about an hour looking either scary or scared. Or trying to anyway.

It was funny because I suggested that Jeff be in the middle since I felt that the story was about his character. But Glenn felt that the movie was about my character. And if you knew the script (which I can't reveal right now- urrrgh!) you would understand that it was a very silly argument.

The end result? Glenn just emailed us today. I don't like my expression in the picture. It's hardly what I intended it to look like. I guess that's what you get when you cast a lousy actress. Still, I think the end result looked pretty neat. You be the judge:



My character is a college student who "sees" shadows and has blackouts (basically, I get to play the nutcase - FUN!!!!) and the plot revolves around Jeff, who plays the part of my psychiatrist, trying to investigate my story. It gets bizarre though. You'll see.

It's only an 8 page script. Which means the movie will only last like 25 minutes or so. But you know me, I'll take all the attention I can get!
