Pig Heart Saturday

I'm sitting in the Quiet Storm cafe, where Ann Turiano (aka Caroline) and Kevin Ford (aka Tom Simmons) from STBD are performing in a student film for a friend.

The sequence is fairly simple: Kevin's character realizes Ann's character no longer loves him, so he gets up and leaves.

The twist?

On his way out, he turns back and says, "I guess this is yours" -- AND TEARS OUT HIS HEART, leaving it (beating!) on the table.

Apparently, the Quiet Storm forgot they agreed to let this sequence be filmed here, so now the crew is trying to race through the shot while creatively hiding the ACTUAL PIG'S HEART (and "blood" tubes) from the Saturday brunchtime patrons... which include lots of kids.

I love independent film.
