WIT Voices

I shot a music video/documentary last Sunday on a very sort notice.  I worked with the director, Danielle Stallings, about 8 years ago and this shoot was the result of her submitting to a competition and being one of the finalists who had to finish a short film within a couple weeks.

So she came up with a music video/documentary concept that involved some beach shots, forest scenes, a bus ride and lots of plants.  Danielle also interviewed some people who started the “counter culture” in the 70s and the interviews were part of the documentary.

Danielle bought some plants to use for the filming and all the actors who were involved were given the  option to keep the plants at the end of the day.  To my surprise nobody took the plants home.  Well that was good for me because Danielle gave me all the plants that I wanted and so I took all of the small plants and I left her with the big ones that I had no room for.

After the shoot they all looked wilted and exhausted.  I put them on my patio next to each other, gave them some water and now, three days later they all look healthy and happy.  If you can’t pay me for a shoot, I will work for food as any other actor but I will also work for plants or a bicycle.
