Filming: Day 5
Today was a treat for everyone…except maybe our co-workers at the office trying to get work done. Over a Celtics game last week, I got Sandeep Parikh from The Guild to agree to a role on the show. Having worked with Sandeep on his show, The Legend of Neil, I know he has a gift of crass comedy and I wanted to turn him loose as the potty mouthed Supervisor who “takes sexual harassment to the next level.”
Because of his commitment to editing his own show, Legend of Neil, and gearing up for the next season of The Guild, he could only give us 1 day to film ALL his scenes…so today was “Deep Day” (because if we didn’t get all the scenes, we were in deep…anyway). If nothing else in this show is funny, these scenes will still make it one of the best comedies of the year! And good thing, because after today, our location is contemplating kicking us out! Two co-workers left for the day because of profanity and one begged us to take a break while a client came in for a meeting! Sounds like sweet, sweet victory.
Sandeep is a natural class clown. It doesn’t matter if the camera is rolling, you’re never prepared for the vile filth that comes out of his mouth…and for it to be soooo funny. Poor Jim fought so hard to not shake the camera and Erik literally could not get through some lines. The gag reel on this will be a must see!
