Silver Screen Debut

My wife and I made our cinematic debut this past weekend. It was in an independent film directed by up-and-coming Director, Shayne Pulley. The title is still undecided: however, it still looks to be a fall blockbuster hit.

It portrays an off-the-wall grounds-keeper named Luther, who is slightly off kilter when it comes to things of a social nature. Danielle and I play the role of Picnicer #1 and Picnicer #2, both of which, I hear, are "key" roles.

It tooks months of preparation (or at least a couple of days) for us to adust to such different roles than what we were used to playing. We had to reach deep down inside and tap into personal experiences of picnics in the past. It was a matter of placing ourselves in another time and place and allowing those emotions to dictate our words and our action. The pinnacle of our experience came as I responded to Luther's "nice day?" inquiry. As I pondered why this stranger would dare interupt our picnic, I delivered a powerful, and yet sensitive, "It sure is."

The rest of the plot you will just have to wait to find out.
