so Diego called us (of course, we speak “dog”, darlings, we grew up in England) and said:
“Richard just showed me ‘A Letter To True’ made by that nice photographer who wears the bandana”
“Bruce Weber?”
“That’s the one.”
“Did you enjoy it?”
“Very much – in fact I’d like you to shoot an audition tape for me so I can be in his next movie.”
“Oh, absolutely – delighted to do so.”
“One more thing…..”
“Yes, Diego?”
“He shoots a lot in black and white and it’s kinda arty and has a strong message, can you do that?”
*lookstocamera*
“Oh, yes. With your looks and our talent, we can do an excellent audition tape for Mr. Weber, darling Diego.”
“great – Richard and I will see you on Sunday – we’ll put the coffee on.”
beautiful.
so here’s what we did….
after the shoot we let diego look through the Rushes and he turned to us and said, with a small almost winsome smile –
“I like it.”
Relief.
