A Hollywood Tradition
Our Bad Monkey breaks down and lands part-time work. Yet his indie film-making dreams live on! Check out how our man in Hollywood navigates the world of gay groceries!
Hollywood Monkey Bad
A graduate of the University of Florida’s Telecommunications program, Gregory Schaefer promptly moved to Japan to explore a new language and culture in depth. While his job as an English teacher bored the hell out of him, he began to produce an independent, bilingual, Japanese, Digital Film entitled “japanned”. He’s been completely obsessed with this project and film making for the past three years. The manic Australian-American’s love of media and his wife have taken him to Los Angeles where he is continuing to PRODUCE new work and crew on other Indie projects. A proud member of the American Cinematheque he screens films most people will only read about. He’s currently wrapping up a feature-length script and producing a documentary as well as some DV shorts.
The Drive
The journey to japanned begins for Gregory Schaefer, in a U-Haul to L.A., chased by the devil, and in Japan, between showers at McDonald’s.
What It Is
A brand new column just for you! Follow Gregory Schaeffer and his lil’ film from Japan to Hollywood to madness, and all points in between! Should be quite a ride.
