This week we are filming final fight scenes for the upcoming 2012 StarBuck full-length feature documentary movie. Below are some snapshots of the first filming day, as we shot at Suomenlinna (a small island off the coast of Helsinki, an old fortress and castle grounds). The weather was absolutely horrible, cold as tarnation and rainy, in addition to considerable winds.
The fight scenes are between FCF wrestler Jessica Love and myself. Director Oskari Pastila specifically wanted wanted Jessica as my rival in the fight scenes outside of the wrestling ring, as Jessica represents the complete counterpart to what StarBuck represents. Jessica Love, for those of you who don’t know, is a tranny wrestler, who actually just officially changed his gender to a her. Me on the other hand, I am a good ol’ redneck son of a gun, a throwback to traditional and staunch male and female roles in society. I know, for some that sounds dated, but I could really care less. However, the clash of Jessica’s and my personalities and what we represent makes for good movie material, and that is why we are fighting in the film.
There will be more news on the StarBuck movie to follow in the coming months, so stay tuned to my website here!
