My friend, John Marc Green, called me early Friday morning and asked if I could help him with a project. John Marc is a contract videographer. He owns cool, high-tech video equipment. He’s good at what he does. I was sleepy, so I said yes. I immediately wished I could take it back.
If doing art is supposed to scare the hell out of you a little, this did. It’s the first time I can ever remember agreeing to be in front of a camera. John Marc did all the production work; I’m just the actor. My pay was some Friday Chicken from Taziki’s. I don’t think I’m awful, but I’m still awfully uncomfortable watching myself on playback. Enjoy. Be kind.
