When a government funded cyborg is re-captured after killing five soldiers in a botched escape attempt, a specialist is called in to assess the machine's cybernetic personality. What dark thoughts lie with in the mind of this android? And how long till he kills again? CLICK TO SEE THE POSTER A WORD FROM CHRIS Android was shot over the course of three days. Day one at the Jacob Javit's Center, with Tony Dadika and Kim Santiago, a week before Louis Balletta was even cast as the android. I had gone through several potential actors beforehand, all had dropped out of the project for personal reasons. Casting the android, believe it or not, was a friggin' nightmare. I never knew how hard it was to find a tall, well built, handsome man. I looked everywhere short of the gay personals. Long story short, Louis was a last minute cast and a bit of a life saver. Day two took place at Pier 92 inside the freight elevators. It was a pain in the ass to secure that location and I ultimately had to guerrilla it, despite having tried to coordinate with the location manager weeks in advance. I hate it when people become unreachable when you are trying to work on a schedule. But personal quips aside, I got that elevator and the footage was damn cool. Day three took place at Simple Studios in NYC. I had secured this location back around Thanksgiving. And what a location. It was excellent and I was very thrilled with the look of that room. All in all, Android marks my first attempt at a Sci Fi themed movie with action undertones. It is also slightly psychological in its approach regarding the Android and his opinions on life, death and the right to live. |
