A Mini is put through its high performance paces in a multi-level parking garage. The car zips from one level to the next, maneuvering in precision style, making for a helluva whirlwind ride. The driver then looks at his heavyset male passenger as the car comes to a stop.
They’re enjoying their adrenaline rush until the driver notices that the momentum of the concluded ride has his buddy’s “breasts” still jiggling back and forth under his shirt.
The embarrassed jiggler mutters that he’s going to get out of the car and “walk from here.”

James Gardner was the DP.
Editor was Griff Henderson of Posterboy, Toronto.

That's quite an incredible trick because a lot of period films, they're always pointing to themselves. They're always sending messages. They're always showing. This had a kind of energy and the kind of physicality and sensuality that I thought, "Who does this? I gotta see this guy." And then I had a wonderful experience in "The Lighthouse" and I played a part that was really fun in "The Northman." So, when he wants to do this passion project and offers me this beautiful role of Professor Von Franz, I say,... Read More
