Backstage at the Oscars

Backstage at the Oscars

The Buddha recently went back stage at the Oscars to attempt an interview with a famous celebrity. After being kicked out of various press conferences and media presentations, our pertinacious reporter finally landed a conversation with Brody VanDooglemeister (gaffer, key grip, and best boy). Brody is best known for some of his earlier work in the golden cinema age of "the talkies", but his legacy can also be seen in Victoy 5's own Distortions with Jennifer Tilley:

BB: Brody, you have seen a lot of stars in your illustrious career, what would you say was the most memorable moment you have had in your working life?

BV: I can't even remember my own birthday, I wish you kids would stop asking me stupid questions. When do they bring out the finger sandwiches?

BB: Fair enough. That was a tough question, let's move on. Can you think of anyone who inspired you when you were growing up...perhaps some of the greats: Copland, Rimsky-Korsakov, Glazunov or Prokofiev?

BV: Those guys were hacks, in fact, if you see Galzunov, tell him he still owes me ten bucks!

BB: OK. Last question...if you could live your life over again, having gained all the knowledge you have over these years, what would you do differently?

BV: I never would have agreed to talk to you!

Well, we never promised it would be great, but the Buddha always delivers bringing you the story FROM the red carpet, BEHIND the scenes (er, maybe that's more like UNDERNEATH the red carpet and BEHIND the trees).
