Bummed!

This is the only scene we shot for the "Bummed!" movie, a precursor to "Night of the Bum". It was shot at "The SIlver Bar" before it was gutted and turned into "Albert's on the Alley". We filmed on a Sunday afternoon thinking no one would be there, but oooooooooohhhhhh were we wrong. You can hear a bunch of drunks whooping it up it the background. We should have filmed it on a Saturday night, that way it be just us and Junior's dad. Phil would have probably been at 7-11 buying more booze. The sound is pretty good on this one because we actually used a microphone for once.
I wish I could tell you that this scene would make more sense in the context of the film, but watching it just now made me realize that this is not the case. I wrote the damn thing and I still find it incomprehensible. Let me do my best to set it up: Dave Malosh has been bitten by a bum on his way home from work. Then a pair of police detectives somehow mistook him for a serial killer and shot at him. The bum bite has infected his body and is now turning him into a bum. All clear?
I may or may not have grown the mustache specifically for this movie. I can't remember. I play Stause, the unemployed Hessian. This scene is the reason I only briefly appear in "Night of the Bum". Too much hassle trying to shoot and act in the scene.
Maybe we'll finish it one day. All we need is 2.5 million in financing. I am willing sign way ancillary rights to anyone who can cement a distribution deal that includes foreign and secondary markets.
