Lunacy My Life Is Starting Over Again

I guess I just wasn't made for these times.
So ... been doing some rehearsal scenes.
If you think "acting" as yourself is easy ... you're fucking wrong.
It becomes completely different when you know you're being recorded. It's not "Reality TV" or whatever the fuck else.
I went into this project telling myself I want the overall existential sadness of Sparklehorse, plus the manic desperation of Matt Foley - the Chris Farley motivational speaker character - grounded by the general likeability of Dana Carvey. That's a pretty narrow target to hit. With the way I've lived, this is probably the one chance I'll have, life wise. So I'm aiming toward the sky.
It's so easy to overact. Your facial expressions are over the top, your hands move all over the place, you say everything like it's the most important statement ever.
So my team and I did some test shooting last Sunday with phone cameras with limited time. And much to my surprise, it turned out great. Now everybody is truly on board.
And then Sierra ... I don't know if she's been rehearsing while I'm asleep or what ... but we recorded some of her voice-over and she nailed it in one or two takes. She clearly understands Audrey and wants to portray her properly. She was crazy happy when I approved.
For some reason, I keep going back to this scene from The Big Short. Decent movie, a bit preachy, but a good way to begin to understand the collapse of the housing market that happened way back when.
Now, you can find much "better" acting scenes with a 10 second Google search ... but so many of those clips are actors ACTING in such an obvious way that it's just annoying. What Ryan Gosling does in this scene is make you think he's a real person.
And the old-timey comedy of the assistant who just gets shit on no matter what he does ... it's so old that it's almost new.
I'd be honored to act alongside Gosling in any sort of project.

So ... of the three acts of this film ...
This song plays somewhere near the beginning of act 2.
Jacob and Sierra and I have set out to make the best soundtrack of all time. But that shit costs a shit ton.
Songs that no one know and will fade into oblivion? They're the most expensive. Fucking stupid. No one will listen to them unless they hear them in this movie. Fucking stupid. THESE SONGS WILL MAKE MONEY ONCE THEY'RE HEARD! For fuck's sake. But still. Great song.
EveryDayAmnesiac
I guess I just wasn't made for these times.
So I was playing this album a couple days ago and Sierra heard it and wanted to know what it was.
It's Daneil Johnston and Sparklehorse.
Now it's all she wants to listen to today.
She is, at this very moment, working on her own version of this song on her keyboards. She's not singing it right and she knows it and I can hear her cussing herself out every time she screws it up.
She's also insisting this track be included on the project.

I guess I just wasn't made for these times.
So ... now Sierra is digging through my good old iPod.
Yes. iPod.
There are about 20,000 tracks on there. About 75 percent of them cannot be found on Pandora, or Spotify, or YouTube. They are tracks from my father's record collection.
If you have followed me in any way during the past 10 years, you'll know my relationship with my father was ... uh .... complicated.
And Sierra and I spent the past week helping my mother get through a breakthrough COVID. Plus three cats at home who refuse to leave the house. Living a three hour drive away. Guess how much fun that was.
I forgot my goddamn computer and it was in the bathroom when I took my midweek break so I don't know what the fuck.
My mother is okay. She's recovering still but she tested negative yesterday and is walking around like nothing ever happened. She's a strong ass woman.
So Sierra found this song on the iPod. And she is insisting it be the song when The Narrator finds Audrey dead.
In case you've forgotten, Audrey is the girl who kills herself, and is the touchstone / moral compass of the story who is never seen, only heard.
Her death propels the story.
So the song I had in mind for the discovery, is apparently wrong. Sierra says it needs to be this, after listening to my iPod for a week.
Now, I still haven't given her permission to play the part of Audrey. But she keeps rehearsing the lines.
Oh, and if you think I'm just sitting back enjoying millions of dollars and I don't have to do jack shit ...
Yeah ... no. It doesn't work like that. You are given a tiny amount of money to see what you can do. Once you prove yourself, you are given another tiny amount to see what you can do next. They don't just put millions of dollars in your bank account and call it a day.
Anyone working on this film will not make a dime. We'll probably end up putting up our own money to finish it. Because we all believe in it. A labor of love. This is not a fucking Transformers movie. Although, to be fair, the 1986 original Transformers was good.
ANYWAY ... in your opinion, is this the right song? I think it's a bit much. I will readily accept any opinions.
Yes. iPod.

I remember when you first started going through the box(es?) of your dad's record collection....
Imo... this scene needs something a bit darker.
Glad to hear your mom is doing better.
Edit: I realize this song is a bit cliche....and that you are looking for something a little less 'mainstream.' But the words sort of work for what you're looking for (imo). I'll keep looking...
I'm not loving it. I mean... the song is catchy. But too upbeat for the situation. Too much la, la, la.... if you get my drift?

Hmm. Good song. I am unfamiliar with the artist but clearly their heart was in it. I listed it on our dry erase board of songs. Between the songs, random ideas, thoughts, sketches, storyboards ... my house is running out of room for dry erase boards. It's so cute that Sierra goes through them and adds her own thoughts in red. And sometimes angry faces.
I want to take pictures, but Jacob, the director, says no. He is recording it all - he records everything - so that we have a blu-ray full of behind the scenes footage to show people what it takes to make a movie that actually means something - the time, pain, struggle, desperation, dedication, and drive.
Sure, you can shoot some dumb cheesy little horror movie on your phone and slap it onto YouTube and make a little money off the ads and have idiot teenagers tell you it was awesome.
That's not what this is. Jacob is a lover of film - particularly Japanese films with The Hidden Fortress being his favorite movie.
Both of us are quite worried about the state that cinema is in right now. You either have to make a big budget Avengers movie that will make over a billion dollars, or a cheap horror movie that will make back its budget x ten, or a straight to streaming movie that will target a very specific audience.
Yes, I know it's more complicated than that. I'm just stressing the point that true cinema is disappearing.
And yeah, I like comic book movies and horror movies. They're fun. But when studios don't want to back anything that won't make a billion dollars ... that's a fucking problem.
Anyway, getting back to the song I most recently posted. It's a great song. But I'm unconvinced it's the right song.
So, when I say Audrey is never seen on film, that's not quite exactly true. When The Narrator finds her dead, you see her for a few seconds, one second at a time, to know that she's dead. Jacob insists that the audience won't understand based on The Narrator's reaction alone. So, in these few seconds, you see her body but not her face. The rest falls on my shoulders to react and show the audience what happend.
Furthermore, there are shots interspliced of The Narrator having the same exact reactions and expressions when he's a much older man. He's still thinking about it in the same way. The hurt never left. He never got over it.
I get why Sierra thinks it's the right song - it's fun and girly but also sad and haunting. It's a great song. I would love to post the song I have in mind but Jacob says I've said too much already. I don't really agree with that. This is not a movie where knowing the plot points or songs matter - it's the performances that make this movie.
Which leads me to something else - me playing The Narrator.
In case you haven't read much of this thread, that was not the original idea. Jacob had reached his breaking point after about 20 guys who simply could not read the lines right, no matter how much coaching.
"Okay. That's it. Michael, you're playing the part. No one else is going to get this."
"Uh ... my acting experience? I was in a One Act play in high school for my friend. She thought it would be funny if I walked through the scene, became terrified of the audience, and ran off to the other curtain."
"So?"
"Um ... so it'll be obvious that I'm not an actor."
"That's kind of the point. And it's your eyes that will do it. I'm not going all gay on you (Jacob happens to be gay so he gets a pass) but your eyes tell the whole story. I could film your eyes for two hours and the whole audience would be crying at the end. Even when you're having one of your laughing things, your eyes are sad to a desperate point. Honestly, I've never seen any eyes like yours. I've seen ones angrier and crazier but never sadder. You're like Phoenix in Joker. His eyes tell the whole story. I know why you wear sunglasses everywhere, because you don't want people to see your eyes. You need to play this part or I'm off this project."
So ... I guess I have sad eyes.
This happened well before I met Sierra. When I told her about it, she didn't say anything. She just held me.

I may have changed my mind about that song. At least... in that application.
This moment in time... was life altering for you. It was profound. In my mind, the music should reflect that in a dramatic way. A sorrowful way.
I heard this this morning.... and am wondering if something like this wouldn't be better.... no words... just emotion. Even the title works. Unfortunately, this song has already been used in the soundtrack for Hostiles. But perhaps we can find something similar?
Max Richter - Never Goodbye

I guess I just wasn't made for these times.
So ... Sierra was SUPPOSED to be working on editing one of her videos.
Instead, I hear her thumping around in the other room. I walk in and she's got my iPod and her fancy ridiculous headphones on and she's dancing around like a crazy teenager. She was rather embarrassed I had seen almost the whole thing.
She was listening to this:
She wants to use it, but I told her I already considered it and we can't because it was used in a fucking Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen direct-to-video movie when they were kids.
"Oh. So ... maybe we could steal it back."
Also, I have become extremely uncomfortable with the idea of being seen on camera, or just seen at all. So I'm deciding to take baby steps. So, if you're curious, this is me. But I warned you:
The question is, could you look at this guy for 70 minutes of a 90 minute film?
Speaking of, we still have a shit ton of preproduction work to do. But progress is being made. And I have a ton of dialogue to try to memorize. I may have bitten off more than I can chew.

You have to go old school on the dialogue
Brando had his lines on cardboard taped to other actors and props in the Godfather
Do you think anybody remembered lines back in the 70s & 80s, besides the obvious powdered ones
EveryDayAmnesiac
I guess I just wasn't made for these times.
If only I had Brando's clout. And if only we were shooting on a closed set. And if I only I had more powder. 
Here's baby step #2. Jacob still insists my eyes are the heart of the story. They look pretty normal to me.
According to Sierra, I look like a cross between a middle age Bob Dylan, a middle age Tim Burton, and Sparklehorse. That would make sense.
And she said I looked especially hot today ... in a sad way. Whatever that means.
I certainly look the part for the character ... for better or worse. Mostly worse.

For soundtrack consideration
Your eyes are older than your years. And it makes one want to know why.
I remember the photo you shared several years ago. You've aged well.
The problem is that to have this on the soundtrack; it would cost big bucks. I was thinking about this earlier. I think we need to come up with something that's by an artist that isn't well known... or popular. Someone who would be thrilled that their music was being featured.

Good luck with that when everyone thinks they are A list
Most likely a rejection but if you explain the project and kiss some ass maybe they won't be too greedy for a 35 year old song
Floyd is one of the bands that resonate with the project
Disturbed is the another band that comes to mind
Guess a lot of it would depend on how the subject matter is handled
It will trigger a lot of emotion

It's really weird what record labels ask for copyright money.
So, do you want these songs to fade into dust and be forgotten? Or do you want to maybe breathe some new life into them and make some money off your investment, say like how James Gunn and Quentin Tarantino brought songs old of the doldrums and made them relevant again?
Most just want the immediate payoff. They don't give a fuck about the music.
Another problem is my original wishlist - which was 60 songs to look into - has ballooned into a list of nearly 1,000, between the rest of the crew and this thread. It's nice to have options, but fucking hell it's a lot of work.
One scene we're really having trouble with is in the beginning when The Narrator gets out of prison and goes back to his apartment. It's a shit hole. Stained mattress on the floor. Disgusting tiny blanket on the side of it. Broken windows. A moldy air conditioner. There is some bourbon on the counter that he spits out because it's so old - a clear alocholic who can't even choke down some old booze. That's how long he's been away.
Anyhow, he goes through his apartment and finds his stashes of cannabis and powders and all his other drugs that he had hidden in airtight containers. He clearly thought this through. He is bracing himself for what he knows will be his last day on Earth.
Out of the ceiling, he breaks open a piece and it's a three ring binder that just says "Audrey" on it.
He puts everything into a backpack and goes along his way. This is the same place he comes back to at the end of the day to die.
Now, Sierra has read an early draft where The Narrator, instead, goes to the apartment of a girl named Caroline, whom he talks to in the middle of the movie. It's a scene designed to show he's not just some hopeless psycho, but he's actually a kind, charming, caring, cool guy when he forgets his past. She wants him to end up with her.
I don't think that works. But we'll see.
Caroline and his ex-wife are actually the only characters who ever say his name. It's a simple line at the end of their one scene - "(Name excluded), I'm really happy to see you back.
This is the song we're working on at this point for the apartment scene, but it's not right. Any suggestions would be welcome.

You are absolutely right on this one. It's basically depression porn.
This story possessed me for over two decades. It's a sad story with an even sadder ending and that's just the way it is. It's about 95 minutes of breaking down whatever guard or security or walls you have put up and ... well ... like ... being stabbed in the heart.
If the audience doesn't leave crying at the end, well then I haven't done the story right.
Audrey was a beautiful person. And she had a terrible ending. I guess my goal is to show both.
Story
To be fair, sometimes me and Jacob and Sierra just can't deal with this story and we start talking about our next story. It's the story of how Sierra and I met in the ... uh ... "hospital." It draws heavily from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest but if it were combined with Punch-Drunk Love.
Sierra just looks at me sometimes and tells me how excited she is to make this movie. Story #2 is currently called, "To Choke A Horse." Obviously, that will be changed.
Sierra and Jacob and I are writing this one together.
It has a happy ending.

The weather out here in western NC was crazy warm. Last gasp of a forgotten summer.
I made the mistake of telling her she needs to put on more clothes.
How many men have made this mistake?
ANYWAY, she's in a sad and foul mood today. So I find her about an hour ago, AFTER BUYING HER STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM, curled in a ball on the couch. Listtening to this song on her headphones. She says it's "The Trailer Song."
I don't really agree. But disagreeing with Sierra is like staring down a train.
Sierra and I ... we saw each other through some bad days. And continue to do so.
We're still looking for an end song that fits.

Sigh ... I recorded this one to make sure to get it right. The first few comments are from memory.
Sierra: You're thinking about Audrey.
Michael: No I'm not.
Sierra: You obviously are. I hate when you act like I don't know.
Michael: Don't know what?
Sierra: You know what. Can we please just talk about it.
Michael: It's nothing. Let's just forget it.
Sierra: Uh, no, we won't just forget it. You still haven't told me what you did those two years after she died. I talked to your mother about it and she doesn't know either! None of your sisters do! I want to know what the fuck happened!
So I told her. I've never told that to anyone before.
I pretty much went on a heroin binge. It was a dark time.
She added another song to the list.
Sierra: You're thinking about Audrey.
Michael: No I'm not.
Sierra: You obviously are. I hate when you act like I don't know.
Michael: Don't know what?
Sierra: You know what. Can we please just talk about it.
Michael: It's nothing. Let's just forget it.
Sierra: Uh, no, we won't just forget it. You still haven't told me what you did those two years after she died. I talked to your mother about it and she doesn't know either! None of your sisters do! I want to know what the fuck happened!
So I told her. I've never told that to anyone before.

I've liked all the songs that you guys have thought about and have added to the list. One thought came to mind with some... while they may convey different messages, imo some sound similar... I'm thinking that while there needs to be a common thread the tempo needs to get mixed up.
This will be a dark film and the music needs to convey that emotion. One of my absolute favorite movie soundtracks is from The Crow. It's all fairly dark... but it mixes it up.
Just some of my musing...
