Almost famous

I spent three hours tonight acting in a short film being made by a lawyer in another firm whose real passion is filmmaking. I play a woman watching porn and discussing karma on the phone who kills a cockroach. But you really only see my legs, since the camera is from the POV of the cockroach.

I also did some voiceovers: an orchid smuggler and a woman who's just had an abortion.

It was pretty damn awesome.

Afterwards, the filmmaker and his camera person, another filmmaker (but she's not a lawyer), walked with me to the escalators. He's a fourth year associate, in real estate. The film is for a competition, but he doesn't expect to place or anything. He just wants to make movies. And he's applying for film school in the States. He doesn't have the money for it, but if he gets accepted, he'll figure out a way to get the money.

Pretty damn inspiring.
