Patrick has suggested looking at some of the old EWC footage. This is stuff that I shot from 1997 – 2000 of various East West Consulting functions, parties, etc. I shot it on an old consumer camera. Two of the main characters and several of the subsidiary characters worked there during the late 90s during the Head Hunting bubble.
Patrick thinks we can use some of this footage, particularly the stuff where Ken is really fat. I looked at some of it. Ken looks like a baby. I guess he was–22 at the time.
We’ve dropped the footage into the first act of the film. It really works. It shows where Ken came from…where Mark came from. That culture. I’m trawling through the interviews of former EWC people to put together a collage of voices describing this HH boom. I’m getting so excited about the film. It is shaping up. I can see it now. I can see it!
