Exit Franz Kerr, enter Richard Keene...
So now, Franz is behind me in all ways...I've shed him, vowed to dismiss him. Playing Franz in various sessions and shooting clusters from 8/04 to 10/05 was quite a journey for me...In many ways, there was a haunting from the character that several people pointed out to me, and some never knew me as anything BUT Franz, or other than while haunted by him.
And now, Keene...From this point until July (our proposed end date) I must physically and emotionally descend into Keene and occupy his disturbed, paranoid world. He is very different than Franz in that he is insular, covert and has no conceit of himself in any way. He expresses himself physically, not verbally, as the realm of the body is one that he is driven to master (hello hills, hello weights), since he does not trust or otherwise believe his own senses and thoughts. I feel him now as I read the dialogue, and it is often unnerving. I will have to tap into alienation, turning over every mossy stone and poking in to dark, dark corners of myself, and then go yet further into the blackness.
I am simultaneously scared and exhilarated. I will go places where no person should be for long.
The people around me will be the glue that holds this together once Oliver first yells "Action!"...because my Producer duties need to recede as Keene emerges. I learned a great deal from "The Judas Kiss" and know where to place and delegate now and am confident in the direction of the picture, even here in its embryonic stages.
The Darkness can be so Glorious! We will make it so...
