I've never seen the actual tapes or film, but these guys in a mealwagon/roachcoach truck were parked across the street from my house and filmed me and my friends coming and going for a week or two. sort of an research/documentary I suppose. I believe I was the main character, I wasn't given a script, they only recorded me speaking when I used the phone, I would just start to improvise when I heard the clicks as the recordings started along with my dialtone.. quite a few of my female friends were extras, but their part was only walking to my door and later back to their car... unless they managed to sneak a camera and mic somewhere in my room. hmmm, maybe that's why they sat in that raggedy, hot truck for 8-12 hours waiting to film the 2-3 hours a day I was actually home. Damn.. I want a copy of that.. if nothing else.. just a sound recording would be good ... never heard from them after that so I assume they gave up on the project.. does that count? the closest I've been to anything in the motion picture business was when I met Hollywood Hugh and some of the film crew. although several of my friends were extras in many films. there's not enough money for all the hours waiting around for me. if they ever need a period car for a movie filming around here... I've got something for the 30's, 50's, 60's. 70's and wouldn't mind doing that
