Hans On with Mr Hans. Oh God. I think this shot like, 2 days after Gracious Boy wrapped. I was so focused on Gracious Boy’s production that I tanked every other class that semester. This was for Advanced Crew & Set Operations. I don’t know how we got away with making a video about the world’s shittiest set but we got an A.
I didn’t care about writing it or acting in it, or really anything. I wasn’t even expecting to make a film for this class. The timing was truly awful, time for bare minimum! The script was written in 30 minutes and we were directionless. Terry suggested we do some kind of political satire, so I put a pinch of effort into his opening monologue. I can do a half decent Tucker Carlson impression from listening to too much CumTown, but obviously it makes no sense that the youngest person in the group plays the conservative boomer news host. I don't know why I thought I'd get to play Mr. Hans...Gracious Boy hangover.Also we’re getting to a point where the HRT is really catching up to me and stealth becomes more effort than just being myself. So I hate being on camera and I hate playing Steph the Shitty Sound Guy. I show up to set high as fuck, hung over from Gracious Boy weekend, and I can’t even remember the lines to my own script. Shout out to Nick though for bringing the lava lamps and running camera. He was the closest thing we had to a director.
No one wants to make this movie, and we’re all really uncomfortable playing our parts, it’s fucking awesome. Terry didn’t want to say the edgy bullshit I spewed out which is understandable. He came back to me with a marked up script censoring almost every line. The whole “budget cuts” and cables thing were supposed to be some awesome DEI jokes, and Steph was way more flamboyantly angry in the original script. In the movie we shot, they’re too stoned to care, just like me! Method acting. After this I skipped the next 3 weeks of classes to score and edit Gracious Boy, and also grow big tiddys.
