Sigmund, Realised

I saw the edit so-far of ‘Realising Sigmund’ on Friday and it is almost ready for its first screening – a private screening at ‘Glitch Bar’ in North Fitzroy in two weekends’ time. (It can have no public screening before the Tropfest awards.) The music score is being recorded today with a five-piece bluegrass combo led by the talented and eccentric banjoist, Chuk C. Thornley. Above is a still from the production.

Also being screened then is the video clip to Mr. Owen’s song, ‘I Don’t Want To Go To Nashville’, which is now complete. I play a randy bull hick in a moustache who enjoys cactus rootin’, Shantoozy plays a whip-cracker, Rupert plays a weird guy in a yellow velour jumpsuit called Rupert, Frank Baressi plays the cactus, and there’s a talking vagina in there somewhere as well. “Howdy stranger!”

I am now working as actor (Elliot Gould is one, for example) again in another short film. ‘So, You Have An Idea For A Film?’ is written and directed by Travis Sutherland and produced by Rupert Owen. It shoots on the 25th of this month. More about it later on.

So I must thank Messrs Owen and Sutherland, film producing duo of Son of Marshall/Snuffboxfilms, for the recent acting opportunities given me. (…Realizing, as they do, my supra acting talent, of course.) Thank yers, chappies.
