Since this is the first Tuesday in a months that I don't get to go to nerve video a dozen times waiting for the new episode to post I feel like I need to put something up on this journal so I don't forget that I was involved. In trying to assemble an anecdote about my times w/ YAMBO I have mostly false starts because I remember very little since it's just been a worthwhile part of my life for six months (easy to ignore the stuff that makes you happy). Joe called me in February & asked me to be in this show that he had mentioned to me before for Nerve, & I assumed he meant crew stuff, hold the camera & shut the face. But no he meant acting, something I had never done for a director that had body of work I actually liked. Meeting w/ Joe & Kris they basically explained what my role was going to be in the show, but before I even shot anything everything discussed had to be changed as a cast member quit when she found out Joe wasn't Irish. Now after all that talk about Kelly & Dia & Ben & Maggie & this whole double date storyline, the only thing remaining the same was: Kelly is Dia's boyfriend. From there on out I was left in the dark and only told what the scenes entailed moments before we shot them, something I assume (choose to believe) is/was a directorial tactic cause that made everything very exciting for me. Never did I know what was going on in the show until I watched it, & shooting was always more like hanging out with my friends. So what the hell did I do? What is beautiful for me is my YAMBO experience is impossible to articulate or sum up in a clever phrase and the product reflects that notion.
