A Headshot



Ever wondered what its like to get shot in the head?

This is probably my favorite image from the Benevolence movie I shot this summer. At the recent Manhattan screening, I was thrilled at the audience’s collective gasp when my character gets a clean gun blast to the head. Equally entertaining were the on-set gawkers who reacted similarly on each of the 29 takes. We actually gathered quite a crowd on this back street near the Brooklyn bridge as passersby realized what was happening.

As you might imagine my back was rather sore the next day. Not bad considering.
