Welcome to my new blog! Chasing Ghosts - For the third chapter of my blog I want to write it in a more personal storytelling style...as if I'm talking directly to you instead of third person as I tended to do, anyways, intros aside here's my first post...join my adventure!
Last week 'Emperor' was finally released on DVD, I had been counting down the days since the start of the month until it was unleashed on NZ retail/rental shelves and I bought myself a copy at lunchtime to add to my DVD collection. Directed by Peter Webber, (Girl with the pearl earring) Emperor tells the story of Fellers (Matthew Fox) who has to investigate the Japanese Emperor and his role in World War 2 and only has ten days to do it as ordered by His general (Tommy Lee).
That night I watched the movie with my wife and was so happy to see my appearances weren't on the cutting room floor. From the fourth minute in you can see me on the plane during the Matthew Fox/Tommy Lee pep talk on the plane as they enter the airport.
Most of my other scenes are background stuff, back of my head mostly, cut away's and the trucks didn't make final cut so no glimpses of me in the cab there either but on the hour mark I'm clearly in the office when the Japanese guy makes a dramatic entry. My wife smiled alot when she pointed out when she me, guess my ears are recognizable haha :)
The finished product looked great and I was happy to be a small part in the project, I'm thankful for the opportunity and am excited to start work on my own independent feature film, My film wont be as polished, budgeted or as grand as this one but the same passion will be there, please rent Emperor if you want an interesting movie to watch as its based in Japan but the majority is shot right here in Auckland, the CG was pretty good :)
Yay, now I'm immortalized in a film, my parents can now believe my crazy stories of moving to Auckland to get into the film making industry now that I have been on TV in some New Zealand shows and now a US feature film :) now getting to say some lines on screen is my next mission! :)
