Prose of the Trans Siberian
This was an experimental short (35 minutes) for which the filmmakers rode the Trans Siberian Railroad across Russia to capture footage. They then built a train car identical to the one they rode and shot the film entirely in the car. I play Jeanne, a young woman who is riding the Trans Siberian in order to find new adventure and new meaning for her writing. I run into the Frenchman, played by Will Janowitz, who is a seeming romantic interest but who then steals from me and becomes a threatening, looming presence throughout my trip. The film never got made- the whole project was scrapped because of- well, I don't know exactly; never got the whole story. But it was beautifully shot, and this is the only footage I was given.
