Back from the very first showing of Maitland and Murphy Productions short film THE EXIT.
Murphy (Tom) is my friend Marge's son and he is a budding film maker. He says that my years of exposing him to a wide variety of vintage motion pictures when he was a kid....EARTH VS THE SPIDER and FLOWER DRUM SONG are two of his favorite films...are what inspired him to become a film maker (I am so proud!). He and his production partner worked for a year on this film and it was great fun seeing it...even if I didn't understand it. Of course I have not understood any of their films...all very dark and artsy-ish. I asked them when they would be making a film where people
didn't get murdered.
Their last film won some awards at film festivals, so I am hoping this one will, as well. It is certainly very well made and the cast was excellent.
Actually, the film that they cast me in a few years ago didn't have any murders, now that I think about it. It did have Jesus in it, however...but I still didn't understand it. I might ad that I did get raves for my performance as "Conservative middle-aged man." It is on Youtube somewhere, but I have no recollection of what the title is.
