A BETEL NUT STORY

The fat guy is called Thompson, he worked on the docks for us while we filmed Survivor: Micronesia in Palau. In Palau, like many Pacific Islands, people chew a small fruity nut called Betel Nut (pronounced) Beetle Nut and then spit out the red gooey pith, saliva and often blood (as industrial lime is used to help burn through the skin inside your mouth and aid absorption of the addictive substance in the Betel nut). As much of the world is littered with cigarette buts, Palau is littered with red vomit like splodges on the ground, as it is considered normal to projectile spit the red slime anywhere and any time. A beautiful young lady in front of me in the supermarket check out queue one day, dressed to the nines, fancy bag, all made up, perfect hair, leaned past me to spit a gurry of red nastyness onto the floor.
My friend and co-cameraman Chad Griepentrog, thought it would be funny to make a film about a spitting super hero that causes havoc with Betel Nut slime all through cinema history, from "Its a Wonderful Life" to "The Matrix" and "Lord of the Rings". We won first prize for it at the "Survivor Film festival" that Survivor has each season as the crew wrap party on location.
