How was shooting that music video?
You got to do all of this stuff for real… Alison Lohman: It was great. We had one day to shoot it. It was good for me that we only had one day, because it forced me to take a lot of risks. I got really into it. Tom DiCillo: That was Alison’s first day of shooting on the film. The music video. I felt the best way to get her into it was to dump a bucket of water on her. Have you ever met a paparazzo like the one that Steve plays? Is it based on anyone you’ve known in the past? Tom DiCillo: It’s based on a number of people. It’s not about the paparazzi in general. I think that’s an important note to make. I am not making a story about the paparazzi. This is a very particular guy. There are many different levels of paparazzi. Some are very courteous and they take their work very seriously. They work at certain levels. Others are seriously disturbed. I just wanted to make this about a guy who is so isolated as a human being. He is so twisted, so crippled by what his life had done to him.
