Taiwan has been an interesting trip for me. Part of which is all Su Huiyu doing hahaha emailing me at the beginning of the year if I would be willing to be in his film and somehow I said yes where I went from always being comfortable being invisible behind the scenes to right in the center of the scene, to the screen as an artwork in the museum…
It is super weird being in the museum and seeing people looking at it. I haven’t even had the courage to see it all the way from beginning to end because it’s so strange, and then I feel people staring at me (is that her?) so I run out, hahaha.
Trio Hall the project by Su where he is making his first feature film, a variety show, from the beginning (pre-production) to end (editing and post-production) in the museum is fun to be around. He also has an incredibly professional team, literally every one of them is so talented and skilled in their professions and most have been working on other projects of his over the years so it’s a family really, and they are all super nice and cool to be around. I sat for a moment in some auditions and was at some parts of the film shoots. The museum is filling up with new works like the shoot he did with me and his curator Eugenio Viola which is a stand-alone video installation and he did that with other shoots as well. The audience could be part of an audience in the film, or just watch the audience in the film being filmed, hahaha. Some days they are part of exciting stuff the film shoots, the customs and make-up and hair, and rehearsals, and some days they experience how boring filmmaking can be too, just a few people talking, an editor sitting behind a screen as the only person working in the museum, and even a director sleeping somewhere in a corner hahaha. So really I can’t wait to see the film I’m sure this power team will once again kill it!!!! Goooo Trio Hall!
