"Am I Blue?" - The Movie

This past week I've been taking still images on the film set of, "Am I Blue?". "Am I Blue?", is the brainchild of Lesley Paterson and Ian Stokell; two amazing individuals with super personalities and driven spirits.

(From the film's outline:) The mockumentary feature film explores the issues of race and cultural sensitivity by following an interracial wedding between a bride from a white middle class family and a groom from a fictitious race of blue-skinned ‘Polar Americans’ from Antarctica. The entire movie is unfolded through the video camera of the groom's best friend who follows the two families around as they get ready for the big day. All in all, think, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" meets "The Office".

It was great fun following around all those who were following the families around and snapping off keepsake images for the movie's dvd. As luck would have it, another photographer that was suppose to play the part of the 'Wedding Photographer' couldn't show, so the film's directors kindly asked me to step in. Acting and taking pictures at the same time! Doesn't get any better than that. Hopefully, you'll see your's truly with a few cameo shots playing the role of said, 'Wedding Photographer' - all the while I was literally playing a real one firing off pic after pic for the production.
