The John Agar Story
Written a very long time ago, a very very long time ago, as a segment of George Lockwood's Cal Arts film thesis thingy "Buddies Galore." We were little then. In the first version, set in the Cal Arts sublevel, I attempt to explain the plot of "The Brain from Planet Arous" to a dog. That was clearly no good and so I wrote this "better" version instead. Actually filmed and I can prove it. Nominally directed by me. George and I'm assuming Randy but I can't remember did the hard stuff but it was all just one shot anyway. Music written and played off camera in real time by myself. Talented amateur Mr. Gary Geller took the central role of Gary Geller, blowing us all away with his ability to remember his lines. The part of Hilary Hartman was played with great sensitivity by Ms. Hilary Hartman, who went to school for this stuff. And James Higdon was unusually convincing as himself. |
