Digital Kitchen in Seattle asked me to play a menacing person in a kitchen for the 2008 Seattle International Film Festival bumper. It turned out to involve knives, fake blood, and baking cookies — which is a pretty accurate summary of the whole experience.
The project
The Seattle International Film Festival is one of the largest and most well-attended film festivals in the United States. Bumpers are the short films that play before screenings, and Digital Kitchen — a Seattle-based creative production studio — was behind this one.
I happened to be at their studio when they were casting for the piece and got pulled in to play the menacing character. It was my first time in front of a camera in any production capacity. You only see my hands and my butt, but I'll take it.
The shoot was a great time. The team at Digital Kitchen was fantastic, the set was a fully dressed kitchen, and the direction was exactly what you'd hope for: commit to the menace, handle the props with confidence, and try not to eat all the cookies between takes.
