glowing muse

Photo 1: “Jemima’s about the same height as my mother.  I’ve got the same look as her father. There’s nothing wrong with two strangers getting what they need out of each other.”

Photo 2: “You won’t be able to tell from the video, but we had to shoot in NYC while dodging paparazzi.  You can find the articles online.  Tabloid trash.  Click bait for lonely emotion junkies.  Jemima put herself on the line and the clip proves it was worth it”

Photo 3: “I don’t care how hot it is down in a New York City subway station.  You hold the girl close and keep her back from the tracks.  It was all Jemima’s idea.  Including that my character would drink diet coke with the label ripped off.  She’s as sick as me.  With twice the talent.  Imagine what we could do together with some money.”

Photo 4: “Jemima is going to be a beautiful 40 year old.  I’d like to court her in her 50s.  She’s that kind of beauty.  And her stories of hotel romances and tennis lesson hangovers will be really good by then.  We didn’t have much money so cinematographer Ashley Connor used natural light and Jemima’s face to carve out the heartbreak.”

Photo 5: “We started shooting in Far Rockaway.  Double double denim.  Jemima was cooking from the word go.  I just tried to simmer next to her.”
