I live on Wall street and ironically I am making a film called Bailout! A Romance.
In its essence it is a love story a comedy and drama, a dramady? We have been working very hard on it and the actors are superb.
I realized the script is more like a springboard. Or maybe more like evidence to the little juries that live in everybody's head. It says "yes there is a story, trust me" and then we go from there.
If someone understands their character its best to let go of the scene, see what happens. If it is not the right result then try again
I feel like I am sharing secrets.
I let the film roll when the action has taken place. I want to get the wimpers of the mother who just kicked her son out. Or the laughter of the guy who just had a great date, walking home dry.
The actors really are the most important part of the film, the story lets them show their range and their potential
I am not making a short film but really a condensed film. This is not one scene or a couple locations. This is an epic story, I paid no attention to how long it may be, as long as the story is told. It could be 15 minutes, 30 minutes, sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes an hour, I have no clue.
What I do know is that I have gathered a terrific cast of artists who are dedicated to something they believe can make a difference, and by that I mean a ripple.
I want to make the most radical thing I can think of
and I love the Sex Pistols now. Search for Sid Vicious mocking sinatra, singing My Way
I will share more later
