Copacabana The Movie
This month’s video is my one and only starring film role!
I got to play Tony in the TV film version of “Copacabana”.
I learned a lot making this film. I learned that the crew of a film work the hardest of anyone.
I learned that making a film is all about the lighting.
And most of all, I learned that making a film isn’t for me.
Since I have no patience, sitting in my trailer for hours at a time, waiting to be called to do a two minute scene drove me nuts!
I loved writing the songs with Bruce and Jack. I loved helping the producers put the film together. And I didn’t even mind acting.
But all that waiting – not for me.
However, I think the film is really good. I’m very proud of the work that we all did.
If you haven’t seen the movie, I think you’ll enjoy it.
So grab some popcorn and watch baby Barry in “Copacabana”!
