How Do I Explain This? (VOF spoilers)

One of the interesting things about being in my film is telling people about it. They all want to know two things. First, will they be able to see it? The answer to that is: on DVD certainly. In the theatres, well...maybe as part of a film festival. I would be very surprised if got any sort of general release.

The second part is: what part do I play? And this is where is gets tricky. Because, you see, in real life I'm not the sort of person you would imagine as an axe murderer (really, I'm not). Describing how I get disembowled is also disconcerting. I'm finding it surprisingly hard to describe this film and my role in a way that doesn't weird out just about everyone. The Cute Gay Mormon Boy (CGMB) I met on Friday had a real hard time with the concept ("You're an axe murderer?" "It's just acting." "But you kill people!").

Maybe I shouldn't tell good-looking guys I meet at bars what I do in my spare time ("What are your hobbies, Dave?" "Well, I read. And I rollerblade. How about you?").

Anyway, I'm filming on the next three weekends. This weekend is the biggest filming weekend left: I'll be filming all day Saturday and Sunday. On the remaining weekends I film only on Saturdays, and on the 29th I don't even have to leave the Bay Area.

And then I'm done with it. Well, at least until I have to fly out to Sundance...
