Come Play With Us
Oct. 3rd, 2011 02:36 amThe last words of the message read: “Come play with us.”
It’s the sort of invitation one expects whispered in the last hour before dawn. Delivered from the blue lips of a giggling little girl at the foot of your bed; one whose mirth is in no way dampened by her translucent skin, nor the fact that half her phantasmal skull had been caved in.
In actuality, “Come play with us” is local film industry speak for – ‘are you available to work for free?’. It was posted on my Facebook wall by a local production manager requesting yours truly to play a bit role in an upcoming indie horror-short . The short is being shot by local cinematic auteur, frequent drinking partner and occasional creative accomplice – The Bruk, best known perhaps outside the city for his directorial part in the Signal. The script is ripped fresh from the mind of another buddy of mine who hustles the word for a living, a one Nic-Tic-Tocsky. Both men thought it would be a good idea, no doubt while under the influence of questionable distractions, that I would play a fine bouncer for some reason. The working title of the film at times has been reported as – “Bropocalypse”, “The Vagina that ate my Spring Break” & “Murder Tits!” While I don’t know how much of the plot I can and can’t give away, I can safely say it involves gore, nudity, three frats and a young lady resembling a demonically possessed Bjork.
So was I in?
Sh’yeah.
