Concept

The Second Man started when my acclaimed suitemate Andrew Steiner (Presov) came into my room one night with a suggestion. That suggestion was that we create a movie about a hostile takeover of our dorm. Everyone could get involved and it would be great. I liked the idea, as did my roommate Sameh (Brax) so we threw around some ideas for awhile. Over the next couple of days I came up with a script which we perfected. Casting came next along with acquistion of props. We started taping one Tuesday afternoon with the scene between General Bramek (Prof. Charney) and Presov. From there special effects shots were taped and the rest followed suit.

Granted, you still do not really know the concept. Ok, there is a corrupt regime in Slovakia (the cut out behind the first poster is of the Slovakian flag) that is trying to undermine the President of Slovakia's power by kidnapping his only son. His only son is attending college in the US and a team is sent to capture the boy. However, the team did not expect the bodyguards to put up such a fight and the boy is rescued. Same old plot right? Sorry, that all happens in the first half hour.
