Tonight is the screening/Q&A of an independent film I worked on more than 4 years ago. It used to be called “Boppin’ at the glue Factory”, but the name has been changed to “Junkie Nurse” which I like a lot better.

It seems like so long ago that I worked on it and was driving back and forth to Norwalk 25 miles away to shoot in a real mental hospital. I must admit it was a little spooky at times. Well, maybe not spooky, but I couldn’t help but think of things that had happened behind the gates of the hospital through the years. Mental illness is no laughing matter…well maybe in the movies. It was a fun shoot and I actually had a love scene. Yeah, a real live, fake, movie set love scene. Now THAT was interesting.

It’s done quite well on the festival circuit and I look forward to seeing the finished product and the cast & crew.
