How to Kill Yourself in One Year #9: "Bench'd"

apologies for this all in one post...but here's the script and photos from the shoot....

April was supposed to be a lot easier since I was officially off from my survival job for my FMLA bonding leave with the chillin'.  so I just naturally assumed I'd have a bunch of down time to really focus on quality posts for April.

Obviously this did not happen.

However we did manage to make a seriously kick ass film for your viewing pleasure.

Here is the script, Bench'd

it's sssssssssssssssslightly autobiographical in that I was, indeed, once dumped at a Fuddruckers and my car did suffer the same fate. And she probably did go out with the new guy immediately after dumping me...like within an hour. but oh well. such is life.

and here are some pix from the set.  We got to work with Franny again (who is fast becoming Charro to Quite's Love Boat) and were introduced to Michael J. FULVIO, who we hope to use again very very soon...

Franny "Charro" Civitano as Alice

Michael J. Fulvio as Mickey

Shot in lovely Westfield. it was quite (no pun intended) cold

"you dumped me at Fuddruckers, which is not an easy place to get dumped"

script gazing....

Tawnya in her DP debut.  I hate that hat.

My instructions here were: "if you fall in the water, please let go of the camera...feel free to hold on to the hat"

sweet....and cold...but mostly sweet.

can't wait to go to lunch, I'm really hungry. huh. guys? guys?

zany anyone?

Tawnya got the camera stuck on timer..so anytime we needed a still, we'd have to wait 10 seconds. which usually meant THIS.

"and that's not even the worst part"
"what could be worse?"
"..."

April Fools...

So, due to illness (one of my actors got sick, NOT Run D.M.C. kinda ill), we had to push Swish...

so to make it up to you,  I have brought in a very special guest star...fans of HTKYIOY will be uber delighted...

stay tuned...

number 9...number 9...number 9...the ninth one. the ninth script

I was digging around in an ANCIENT folder of old crap and found a relic from the old House of the Dead Days and since I was looking for something I could shoot near but not IN my house on my FMLA bonding leave (since there are tons of babies in there), I moved it to a basketball court. THE basketball court from Battle Act if you must know.

anywhoo....

here it is.... SWISH

and fans of F**k New York will be quite (no pun intended) delighted....
