With just a few pages of the script and a brief synopsis, three filmmakers set out to recreate a scene from Francis Coppola’s film, The Conversation. The film is about a paranoid and personally-secretive surveillance expert (played by Shaun Braxton) who has a crisis of conscience when he suspects that a couple he is spying on will be murdered. In this scene, he arrives at his love interest (played by Liz Harlem) house to hmmm…ya know!

Prior to filming, none of us watched The Conversation (an awesome film by the way) So armed with a Canon 5D Mark II and a small light kit, I casted two friends and the five of us had a great day in Harlem USA.
