This is a scene from the Final Cut. We always intended to have a scene showing a bit of my “writing process.” The first attempt at this was in my apartment. Quick film tip: apartments are not interesting to look at. So I decided to shoot this in the Lincoln Park Zoo paddle boat pond. Location is half of a movie.
The rice was not, sadly, cooked in an ab-roller/rice cooker. It was purchased at a Chinese joint at the corner of Fullerton and Clark.
My dad had a goat eat his leather coat when he took me to a petting zoo in the late ’70s.
After we finished filming a handful of takes, we paddled around and began to head back to the dock. As we turned to head back there was a goose freaking out, flapping, splashing, and honking. We paddled close and saw that he had his beak jammed into the open end of a Coke can. Blood covered the goose’s face and we tried to calm him to free him. However, the bird was so traumatized, he would not let humans come close. It was probably the saddest thing I’ve seen. This tidbit brought to you by Smokey the Bear.
