[TWP03] Bad Day

"Life is like an onion; you peel off one layer at a time and sometimes you weep. "
Carl Sandburg

TWP-03 Bad Day

Bad Day is actually, like Bryan's, based on a conversation I had with one of my friends a couple of months ago. We were working in a theater and he got a phone call in which his parents informed him that his dog had just passed. He was pretty morose for the rest of the work call. The day itself was a normal day but the death of his beloved animal colored the rest of his day. It is these simple events in a day, whether it is for the positive or the negative, that always linger in my long-term memory.

I also acknowledge that I broke one of the rules. I wrote about death but this death isn't life altering (although I know way too many people that would consider the death of their dogs to be such an event).

Shooting at the Turkey Nest was difficult. It certainly pushed the cameras ability to film in a low light. I would like to thank Glenn for his outstanding performance and script contributions. Specifically the Marcia Gay Harden line. Jeff and Bryan did the camera work and it was a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy.
