WHAT DOES ONE DO ON A QUIET SUNDAY AFTERNOON?
Actor Daniel S. Janik (aka author Raymond Gaynor/Gary Marine) here, nose to screen, typing at my computer on a fantastic sunny but pleasantly cool day. Posting about what? Film, of course.
Setsuko Tsuchiya and I have been filming scenes for Elias Perez’ 2-Liters Shady Films’ production of MOCOS, our first horror film, an especially notable film in that all is done by the actors and actresses (aliens, too?) use Elias’ script, and send their parts in to him for collating and editing. I was pleased to view a teaser upon our return from the Chicago Independent Indie Film Festival which I’ve added to my MOCOS website at https://janik.yolasite.com/mocos.php – just click on the image at the top of the page.
MOCOS has more than one interest for me, besides being my first horror film and first distance filmed work with actors and actresses I have never met before. It’s also my first experience with distance directing, relying heavily on a screenplay that I haven’t yet seen anywhere near in toto, reminiscent of the Lost television series.
But it bears another aspect of interest to me as a retired physician, especially a public health/preventive medicine specialist: I have felt from the beginning that the COVID pandemic was our warning shot across the bow, that our world is ill equipped to deal with infectious agents, primarily because population growth has left public health/preventive medicine far behind, be it sewage, air, water, food or psychological quality of life. It’s the next and the next and the next pandemic that I fear, specifically because we never took COVID seriously. Even now, we still don’t. Our government, communication, transportation, heath services, even businesses never “got it” and put in place the new kinds of infrastructure needed to support such a huge population as we have looming on the horizon.
So what DOES one do on a quiet Sunday afternoon? I sit at my computer and wonder what will come after COVID. Will it be MOCOS?
