If You Could Come By Again (part 1)

The Setting: NYC jungle. The Plot: Justin is insecure about his job - as an actor, he's caught between the fantasy of celebrity and the fear of being an extra. He pretends to be more secure in order to get a date with Stephanie, a massage therapist, only to discover that she's got her own issues. The Props: massage table, water bottle, candle, head diapers.

directed, shot & edited by Sandi Higgins

featuring John Grady and Susanna Green

written by Higgins, Grady, and Green

director's note: the aim in this was not about realistic acting but about externalizing the game of acting itself - to bring out the humor in the hide-and-seek of truth.
