Recent Adventures

Last Thursday evening, Nathalie, Jeff (the 18 year old intern here), and I climbed on a train and headed for a Holocaust memorial service about 15 minutes away with the understanding that there would be a Neo-Nazi counterprotest. This would give Nathalie and I excellent b-roll footage for our FILM 360 documentaries, Nathalie's dealing with the abstract topic of "hate" and mine dealing with free speech in Germany.

Although the counterprotest never showed up, we still managed to get some good footage of the rally. Here are a few pics that Jeff took that really don't do the evening justice...

The following evening, it was time for Nathalie and I to do our scene for Conor's--the only senior here in the Deuce--460 thesis film. A little background info... in the words of director Conor Metz, "Nathalie stars as Grace Hart, a secret agent who in trying to uncover the plans of the evil Mr. Tracy, discovers that there is more to the situation than meets the eye."

Anyway, I was typecast as a psychotic torture specialist named Cyrano who pulls several of Ms. Hart's teeth before having my own throat ripped out with her teeth. We started filming at 6 or so and didn't finish until after midnight, at which point Nathalie and I, still in full costume and makeup, met up with Jeff, Eliot, and Leslie (Eliot's visiting girlfriend from the States) for some drinks it Altstadt.
