Isolation

This is the indie project I am invovled in as an actor.  The orignal shoot was in Aug of 2004 at the 501 Studios in Austin with a few additional night shoots at Austin Studios.  The brain child of indie filmmaker Oklahoma Ward, it's a stylish sci fi thriller set in a bunker hundreds of feet underground where a child prodigy and his handler work in isolation on the cure for a virus that has decimated the surface population.  It soon becomes clear that both are there against their will, controlled by an unseen authority that provides for all their physical needs.  But the boy needs emotional connection, which the handler refuses to provide.  When the boy finds it on his own, without telling the handler, a crisis ensues.  Shot on HD, the project was rough cut and shopped around LA.  LA wanted more. So, Oklahoma reinstated a portion of the script he had cut and we're off to shoot it outside of Tulsa from August 23 to August 30.  It was a meaty role for me and it forced me to shut down many aspects of my personality to play the cold, nicotine/caffiene-addicted power freak handler.  So it will be fun to take him up again, though it means dealing with cigarettes again. I found some non-tobacco cigs to use so I didn't have to worry about addiction myself, but I was still smoking like a chimney for 16 days.

Here's the project website.

Great minds...
