SXSW Day 3 – 3.9.14
So right now it’s 2:40am and I have to wake up at 8:30am so I am gonna make this wrap up really quick even though day three was total madness.
Step one: Show up 15 minutes late for my shoot with the cast of the movie Two Step because Austin is a nightmare during SXSW.
Step two: Shoot the cast of the Heart Machine including John Gallagher Jr. who at SXSW last year convinced me I should watch the West Wing. I finished the entire series in less than a month.
Step three: Book three shoots in 30 minutes and completely frantically fly through all of them hoping I got at least a couple shots. I shot the cast of Before I Disappear which features a sexy vampire, a Son of Anarchy and one of the most attractive women I have ever seen in real life. After that I shot the cast of Wild Canaries who I had previously partied with the night before. And then finally I got to shoot Tom Savini and the director of Doc of the Dead. I am not a huge horror/zombie nerd, but I am a huge George Romaro zombie nerd and meeting Savini was awesome.
Step four: Shoot Jemaine Clement eating a sandwich. The Flight of the Conchords star is in a movie called What We Do In the Shadows. Might have been the funniest five minutes I have spent taking a photo.
Step five: Shoot the Supermench red carpet. Mike Myers directed a documentary but he also happens to be in Wayne’s World my favorite movie of all time. So taking his photo was really important to my life even if it was just on a red carpet.
Step six: Watch Two Step. My brother edited what turns out to be a brutal fucked up and fantastic film that if nothing else should garner James Landry Hebert a lot of work. He was fantastic as a violent low life. I will talk about it more in the future but if you get a chance to see it, you must. And read the Variety review cause my brother got a mention at the end!
Step seven: Go to a dance party. IHeartComix threw a party at Empire Garage and AraabMusik and Just Blaze DJ’d and I met some cute girls and took a few photos and then left early because I have to be up in fucking five hours.
Step eight: Write this blog post and fucking go to sleep. Photo highlights below. Goodnight.
