My sisters are movie stars.
Seriously.
My sisters are legitimate, real, honest-to-goodness movie stars. As of today, every single one of my five sisters are in at least one movie. The only exception is Alisha. And guess what? Last night, my brother Caleb (yes, the four year old) was filmed in a movie. Surprised me too.
We Kuperuses have monopolized the movie-making business.
Even I acted as an extra in a movie.
“What did he do?” you might ask, “Did he shoot a bad guy? Pirate a ship? Sail for the fountain of youth? Capture a mermaid? Drink rum? Pull off his shirt to reveal his freakishly jacked six-pack?”
The answer to those questions is “No, no, no, no, no,” and “I wish”. So what did I do?
I got to walk. With a smile on my face. Down a sidewalk.
(Not quite the star breaking moment you expected? Me neither.)
On campus there is a filmography school called School of Digital Filmmaking. Students there are taught how to shoot and direct movies. The assignment for them this week was to shoot a five minute film. The students had to write and shoot their own scripts under deadlines. Which sort of restricted their creative processes. I’ve read several of the scripts. Let’s just say they’re not up to Hollywood standards.
Now what would be interesting my friends, is if I wrote the script. (Can you imagine?)
