veeerrry curious to know more about your interaction with patrick wilson if ur willing to share
basically for a couple years I would pick up roles as a background extra in random movies. terrible pay but i always had a good time. I was in movies like Black Panther, Pitch Perfect 3, Love Simon, and The Conjuring 3 (as well as a couple random movies that no one watched). my scenes were cut every single time but you can see me in the background of one scene in Black Panther
and the scene I was MOST excited for in Conjuring 3, seen only in the trailer
That's me!! In the dead center of the crowd of ghosts!! Lorraine was supposed to then throw the curtains open and it's actually the paparazzi and we start taking photos of her and ed. I was DEAD CENTER. MY FACE. ON THE BIG SCREEN.
the scene goes on to the two of them running out of the motel and into their car and we chase them with cameras. because of that, when we were calling cut and hold, all of us were kind of standing around, Patrick and Vera included. I was a nervous wreck all day because I love Patrick anyway and my husband (then fiancé) and I had a joke that Patrick was going to sing at our wedding.
this was my chance, I thought, for some damn reason
so, down time between shooting. I tried as hard as I could to be cool and casually start talking to Patrick Wilson. Obviously he's super wary of some rando extra talking to him out of nowhere, especially when I looked like this
but I mentioned I knew Leigh (Whannell) and he was like oh?? how? and I said we've been talking on twitter for a bit (he then was like -_- Oh.) and I mentioned how Leigh was involved in my engagement story (true). Patrick laughed, congratulated me, and asked when the date was. I panicked and said January 2020. (Humongous lie)
I then did the stupidest thing possible and tried to explain the Sing At My Wedding idea/joke. you've never seen an adult man get so uncomfortable so fast. I tried to cover my ass and say it was Leigh's idea (when will the lies end). Patrick did not believe me.
and then we had to go back to filming like this was a normal day.
the shoot ended a couple hours later and as Vera and Patrick left set, he waved at me and said good luck with the wedding! what a guy! thank you for being so gracious!
"I'll see you there!" I called back, like a fucking idiot.
Patrick mumbled some uncomfortable "Uh huh..."
and then I rolled underneath a semi truck and died the end.
