JASON TOBIN IS A ___________ DIRECTOR.

JASON TOBIN IS A FAST DIRECTORRecently, shot with Actor/Director, Jason Tobin as part of the I SHOT HONG KONG FILMS ARTIST EVENT.  Basically, we were given one RED ONE camera, one day to shoot, and one day to edit.  It was the 48 Hour Challenge![](/attachments/2009/06/21/20/43244_200906212028001.thumb.jpg)My boy Derrick of BAMBOO STAR fame was the DP.We were also lucky to have NICK and AJ on to help, as well!I was PSYCHED to work with Jason and ready to start the day!JASON TOBIN IS A   UNIQUE  DIRECTORWhen I arrived on set in Tai Tam...I was greeted by my wardrobe....or lack there of...

Atleast Jason help me put it on...he definitely got glimpses of things that were more than he bargained for! After some masterful direction...

("and this is how I want you to sit on the pier...")We went right into filming.  Jason made me fall on the wooden pier about a hundred times.

JASON TOBIN IS A DANGEROUS DIRECTORAfter the morning/afternoon shoot, I was beat up (physically and emotionally).

JASON TOBIN IS A MYSTICAL DIRECTORThat evening, we moved to our next location.  We lost a couple of our crew members, so not a lot of pictures were taken.  Jason was a beast in this scene.  He gave me everything that I could of asked for in a director...and I must say that he brought out the best in me.  My favorite line of his after two or three takes,

"OK, Simon.  Those were great.  We have it.  It's not that I didn't like it.  But let's try something different." 

Jason is an actor and he knows how delicate our egos are.  JT, you are amazing.

Below a pic of me and the special leading lady...

But as day turns into night, we definitely find out that....

JASON TOBIN IS A DICK DIRECTOR

One thing you have to know about Jason is that after 5 takes, he gets seriously PISSED.

JASON TOBIN IS A WONDERFUL DIRECTOR Seriously,  Jason was fantastic.  He knew exactly what I needed before I even knew that I needed it.  Thanks, JT.  Also, thanks go out to the crew, DFW, Nick Cannon, Nick LaChey, and AJ.  Also, HUGE thanks to Josie and Conroy.  Mad props to our van driver.  Love to Craig, Lindsay, and Laura of Ocean Vista.  Thank you PO.  I forget anyone else?  Probably.  SO, thank you, too.

For those of you who want to see the film you can go to the I SHOT HONG KONG website for screening details. 

Lastly,  few may know it, but Jason Tobin is a great dancer, as witnessed in the video below.

Dude, I'm really touched by this blog. Thanks a lot, homie! You did an outstanding job on the film both behind and in front of camera. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. This doesn't mean I won't be a slave driver on the next shoot. Because I'll be meaner and more of a dick!!! (By the way, we used the first take of the fall.) Hahahahahahaha!!!

Can't wait to see it. At the 'I Shot HK' closing party, they should auction off the diaper that you wore. I'm sure it'll go for top dollar.

yes, I stuff my diaper. sorry to disappoint, ladies! and, yes, something in my body language tells directors that I am great in weird and difficult roles! JUN KUNG is the one with the guitar. He is one of the most talented musicians and producers of all time! (He c0-wrote and produced the track). I will try to post the film on alivenotdead after the festival!!!! chung, no need to auction the diaper. I saved it for you! It's in my bedroom!

I was about blog about how impressively professional the Tobin crew was that day...and then I see the inside scoop on AnD: Men putting nappies on other men. Boys, is this film going to pass the Tela classification? Signed: The Anxious One!
