Update Regarding Michaels Movie Debut

Shortly after we got to Cuenca we heard about a request  for blond "Gringos" to be extras in a short film here in Cuenca, so we thought - cool, why not?  We went to the production meeting, and  learned what the film was about, a young man's entire family are circus performers, however, he just does not fit in, and becomes a bank teller, therefore he is "The Black Sheep" of the family.  The scene Michael was is in depicted the burial scene for the young man's father. 

Michael was told to wear a white shirt and a Panama hat, he was supposed to be the typical tourist.  The filming was fun, when it was finished,  we were told it would take about wo months for the editing to be completed. 

I e-mailed some pictures we took during the filming to the director the other day and he told me about this newspaper article that was in the Sunday paper this past week!  The article on the left is about "The Black Sheep".  He told me the final product has to be completed by October 1st for submission to the Cuenca Film Festival.
