So originally I had a line or two in Obey the Giant, but it got edited out (thankfully haha) but my character was supposed to be… mentally fucked up. I thought it would be funny for the critique scene for me to put up a topless “self portrait” like the one Annie Leibovitz took of Miley Cyrus, but with more side boob.
So I had my friend Ashton, who was a P.A. on the film, do a quick portrait of me (that’s him in the first pic that I took for reference)
The second pic is of that portrait hanging up on the kitchen wall at my old apartment. My friends, the current tenants of the apartment, look at it every day when they eat.
The last two photos are stills. I literally just woke up from a nap during lunch break just before they shot this scene and I was completely out of it, so me standing there motionless… that wasn’t really acting.
a collaboration between me and Karen Sung. A portrait of Keith Jochim as Buddy Cianci…as used as a set piece in a short film about Shepard Fairey…a short film in which I was the Production Designer :D
