I saw this man on the street playing his garbage can as a drum and had my video camera with me instead of my still camera. I took the opportunity to sit down with him and learn what he had to say. He sleeps sometimes at the church down the road from where he is in this film in return for doing chores there like sweeping the steps.

I had no lights with me, but I think it looks better with him as a dark mysterious shadow. I gave him bread, milk and some change in return for letting my film him. All his words are real and unrehursed.

Enjoy :-)

Joey, this is amazing! I love how you captured his true spirit. It's raw and emotional. He seems like a great guy and knows about himself... and you captured it well!

Wow, is there anything you don't rock at????

Seriously.... you need to come down to PA stat and shoot with me! :)

Jl You meet some of the real people, most of us would not dare to meet. The video was good You could no a really real documentary on the real people, the forgotten people. People love you work and would watch, some might even change. Food for thought.
