Javelina Movie

I was really lucky to have gotten involved in another movie here in Del Rio. "Javelina" turned out to be better than I expected. I didn't know anything about the movie when I answered the extras casting call, by the end, I had made some great new friends and worked with some very talented people. Barry Tubb ("Wolfman" in Top Gun..."Where'd who go?") is the director and is quite a character on and off the set. I also got to meet and observe Kate, a very talented actress from Ireland. We got to chatting and the subject of the Oscars came up. She finds going a terrible bore and more like work than anything else. Three hours of traffic for three blocks, then you get there and sit for seven more hours. When you get up to use the bathroom, your seat is taken by a designated seat filler so the audience is always at top capacity for the cameras. When anyone performs, the television cameras completely surround the stage and it is impossible to see anything from the audience. So how does Kate get invited to the Oscars? She goes with her Father, Peter O'Toole! You never know who you will meet in the most unlikely of places. Lets just say, my six degrees of separation has gotten quite a bit more star-studded! Anyway, I am grateful to have had the opportunity and for Mr. Tubb to have had us back for multiple scenes. Will have to wait at least a year...am still awaiting fruits of last May's labors and "The Man Who Came Back."
