((I doubt any of you remember this, but last year, I took part as an extra in an independent film called The Historian, directed by Miles Doleac, which is filmed throughout the town I live in and it’s university. Recently this week, the movie has come out in select theatres, and I was supposed to have a speaking part in it, but it got cut out, which is fine, but I did get one good shot in; It’s during the scene in which the antagonist scholar, Played by William Sadler, is teaching a class. I’m wearing a blue tank top, glasses, and a pink flower in my hair.
Anyway, let’s talk about the actual movie. The protagonist, who was played by the directer and producer, Miles Doleac (yeah, it was one of THOSE movies) was a cheating piece of cardboard cut out, even convincing one of the women protagonists to not go to the police about being sexually assaulted because it would be the end of any chance for her to get her diploma. Almost every female in the movie were complete stereotypes, only there to be gratification for the protagonist, and really, the only characters that were remotely interesting was the stoner sidekick professor, the antagonist professor, and the antag’s dad.
The plot was, basically, shit happens to good people, which is a brutal and honest plot, and it was pretty decent, but when I go seea movie, I want to escape that reality that life is shit, not watch a movie on it.
 The camera work, for a low budget independant film, was actually quite spectacular, and if you’ve ever wanted to see what my town looks like, this movie is a great example for it.
Altogether, ehhhh, it wasn’t that great of a movie, but it was fun seeing myself on the big screen for a split second, and seeing all my favorite local spots in town in a movie. ))
