MOUSTACHE MOCKUMENTARY

POSTED by Chris Turner
See Chris's website CHRIS TURNER

Inspired by the current month of Movember I am looking for fellow moustache growers and supporters of the Movember Charity Group.
The intention is to shoot a short 'Mockumentary' focusing on various individuals and how growing a moustache has improved their lives.
I want to make this as fun as possible and am welcome to your ideas and stories if you wish to convey them to my camera. Obviously it can all be completely fictional but the mood I wish to convey is a 'comical' man pride in this fuzzy facial friend.
Id like for you to be as comfortable infront of the camera as possible but you dont have to be an experienced actor so anyone is welcome to apply. The only rule is that you have to be growing a moustache and participating in Movember.
Im hoping to be able to send this to the charity as an idea for a promotional piece that they may be able to use on their website etc.
Please apply with (if possible) a picture of yourself or a link to your mo space.

Emails to be sent to chris@cjturner.com.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Benefits: Copy of film supplied, Showreel material, Regular updates about film's progress.

Monologue (F) from Bull Durham

Bull Durham
written by Ron Shelton



Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon) opens the movie with an explaination of the church she belongs to.


Annie: I believe in the church of baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there's 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there's 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. (she sighs) But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. Y'see, there's no guilt in baseball, and it's never boring. (she giggles) Which makes it like sex. There's never been a ballplayer slept with me who didn't have the best year of his career. Making love is like hitting a baseball. You just gotta relax and concentrate. Besides, I'd never sleep with a player hitting under .250. Not unless he had a lot of RBIs and was a great glove man up the middle. Y'see, there's a certain amount of life wisdom I give these boys. I can expand their minds. Sometimes when I get a ballplayer alone, I'll just read Emily Dickenson or Walt Whitman to him. And the guys are so sweet, they always stay and listen. Of course, a guy'll listen to anything if he thinks it's foreplay. I make them feel confident, and they make me feel safe -- and pretty. 'Course what I give them lasts a lifetime. What they give me lasts a 142 games. Sometimes it seems like a bad trade. But bad trades are part of baseball. Who can forget Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas, for god's sake! It's a long season, and you gotta trust it. I've tried them all, I really have. And, the only church that feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the church of baseball.
