Alright, so hello again. I'm so tired right now. But I can't complain too much. K had to get up and go to work this morning, so...
One of the great things about doing this type of work is the FOOD! They definitely don't skimp (sp?) on that. For breakfast they served breakfast burritos, croissants with egg, cheese and sausage, pancakes and bagels (also with egg, cheese and sausage - mcmuffin style). Fruit was ALWAYS made available, along with coffee, juice, soda, hot chocolate. Then if you work 6 hours (which we DEF did - 14 to be exact!) you get dinner...we got roasted garlic chicken, rolls, baked potatoes, broccoli, salad, fruit, two kinds of cheesecake (of which I did NOT partake, and anyone who knows me knows why I did not). :-) And wherever you are, there are always snacks to be had.
Anyway, One of the actor's name is Jeremy Renner. In the airport scene, where he's getting out of the car toward the end of the movie, I walk past the camera. I stop to let him cross in front of me, then I continue on my way (a passenger walking outside the airport). Another scene I did was dressed in a blue jump suit (ground crew for WESTERNBLUE AIRLINES) attending a surprise going away party for "Tina" . (Flight attendant retiring after 12 years, I believe) Hopefully I'll be visible there, too. Oh, and the scene where they're pulling up to the airport, watch for a guy (ME) pushing another guy in a wheelchair...
So I've been in 4 scenes so far, and supposed to do 2 more days next week, so at least I know that ALL my scenes won't end up on the cutting room floor.
Oh and this film is about a salesman and an inventor. It's a rags to riches story about these people who I guess invent the talking bottle opener (actual product) and it becomes a world-wide phenomenon. I don't know if this is THEIR story, but who's else could it be?
They were filming a gamblers anonymous scene also last night so I take it one of the actors has a gambling problem...
Anyway, I'll keep you updated about all the latest news about "Snappers." Next week we're filming at the convention center and some other building downtown. **UPDATE: Snappers is now on IMDB.
A list of actors (who I know about) in this film: And let me just say that I think it's really good that I had NO IDEA who exactly these people were when we were on set together...I mean, I had never heard of them...as far as I was concerned, they were just local actors doing this low-budge cheesy film...BOY WAS I WRONG. And I guess it's good that you don't know who someone is, that way you don't walk around all "star-struck" and goofy. Better to find out later and be like, 'hey, cool, I had no idea.' I certainly have a different opionion now about this movie and it's "stars". I put the word "stars" in quotes because I, nor any actor you talk to, considers him/her self to be a "star". We're just normal people who lead "normal" lives...well, some of us more normal than others... :)
