Outtake from Improv Movie!

One of the dangers of improvised dialogue is that it tends to be a bit … digressive. That’s a strength, too, of course; it’s often in exploring a tangent that actors come across their most compelling and truthful moments. In this clip, despite the vast talents of Mike Lavoie and Angela Perri, the tangent wins.
Please note: the audio on the finished movie will be much better than it is in the clip below. How are we going to do that? The most brutally simple way possible: we’re going to re-record every damn line of dialogue. Sound man Kevin Adams came by earlier this evening and tried to fix the audio we have; his conclusion was that it would take less time, and be more effective, to just start from scratch. Bless his heart, he’s going to come over tomorrow and help us do it. It’s a drastic step, and I’ve never had to do anything like it before, but I think this movie has the potential to be really good (in its own odd way), and I’m not going to be the one who sold it short in the last stretch.
Anyway, enjoy the bonobos! The Improv Movie will be up on Friday.

[...] This marks my fourth directing nod, after See Me (made in college, which 13 people saw despite the fact that it was unwatchable), The Monkey Monkey Dancer (which 2,690 people have seen on YouTube), and A Summer’s Day (48 views on YouTube). The lesson? Go back to making movies about monkeys. [...]
