The following footage was taken July 21st, 2001.
We had written the script and decided that, at the age of fourteen, we were ready to shoot a feature film. We were sadly and adorably mistaken.
This was shot on a two hundred dollar home movie camera, and though Alan was still playing Miguel, Frankie was playing Peter. With a big pillow under his shirt. Awesome.
We also got kicked out of the convenience store seen in the footage and made a really lame attempt to run me over with a car. Enjoy the very first “footage” of I Need to Lose Ten Pounds.
