Hi, I’m Gary (aka: Paul). I’m part of the new movie, “Identity,” being shot right now in the Quad Cities. Did you know it takes one hour of shooting time for every minute you see on the screen at the theater? Yup. Part of that is because the director and cast have A.D.D.
naw…j/k. Although we did discover last night that David can’t play the ukaleli (or however you spell it). Actually, having fun on set is an important part of the process (or so we tell ourselves). The relaxed atmosphere helps a great deal in the feel of “reality” as you are actually shooting a scene. One other thing. I’ve been in theater as an writer/director/actor for a long time. Acting for theater is waaaaaaay different than acting for movies. It’s taking some getting used to, but I like it.
Tell ya what. This is going to be one “P”owerful movie, and that rhymes with “T” and that stands for Tunberg…er, I mean, Terrific. Course that works too. Jenny is terrific behind the lens. Just ask her to show you the “scrunch and run” the next time you see her. Or, ask her about her doctrinal beliefs about spiders. (Although those two things may sound like they are tied together, they’re actually different).
We’ll talk later. Just wanted to say, “hi” and introduce myself. Later!
