  • 1980. Glad you likedit. It's going to show again for the first time in front of a movie audience on May 5th at the Talking Stick Coffee Lounge on Lincoln Blvd. at California in Venice, California at 8 pm. Plus 5 more of my film shorts. All less than a year old.

  • For 3 weeks in 1979 my boyfriend & I stayed at a motel in Hollywood. Almost every night we ate at this diner. What a blast to see it again so many years later. Great film, great location - thanks!

  • @AstrimaProductions : Thanks. I ate there for 2 years when I first came to L.A. and lived around the corner. It was the only place I could afford as a "starving actor". I think you and your boyfriend and me were Solly's only customers. That's why I put the address at the end of the film: to get him customers. 3 weeks after we finished the film he went broke, closed and moved back to Oklahoma. Too bad, because for months after it got distributed, people went there looking for it.

  • A well deserved Oscar win! How long did it take to shoot this and where about was it shot?

  • It took 4 days. It was a 3-day shoot but one day was wasted because it had to be shot over as the camera was out of register. It was shot a diner (Really: "Solly's Diner) on Hollywood Blvd, near the corner of Western Ave. in Los Angeles. The diner was closed and turned into turned into a video game arcade 2 weeks after we shot there. The actual address is in the credits at the end of the short. Thanks for asking.

  • Funny stuff! Considering the order in which I saw this, it looks as if Mr. Heckles of "Friends" had a harder life than I thought!

  • Great piece of work...I loved it! What year was it shot?
