Indie Film Wrap-Up
August 10th, 2007 by Roderick Russell
I’m very excited to report that the filming of the new indie short Cupcake has wrapped, editing is complete and the film is off to it’s next destination. Though I am not at liberty to divulge any more at this time, there will be an announcement made here on this site when the time is appropriate.
I was invited to participate in the film by writer and director Cheryl Cambras, and after exploring the script - and being stunned at the uniqueness of the project - thought that this decidedly bizarre film would be a good match.
Cheryl invited me to take part and to play - um - shall we say a pivotal role in my capacity as a sword swallower. We met in Stamford, Connecticut on the 28th of July and work commenced with the fantastic cast and crew.
Thanks to Alex Exum there are some fun production stills available to view on my Flickr page.
I suspect that this curious film will go to some even more curious places, so keep your eyes open for announcements!

I’ve been postponing this post for a couple of weeks now in anticipation of a slightly larger announcement, though as the date of that announcement may be a ways off, I could not justify holding this any longer.
