The Making of Just a Nibble
Just a Nibble is the second* short film in a compilation DVD project—the details of which will be announced in the near future—from writer/producer/director Michael William Hogan.
Producer Doug Neff assembled an outstanding crew and primary photography for Just a Nibble was shot at an LA–area hotel over a two day period. Filming in a small, confined space presents special challenges—as does filming at a vibrant hotel on a near capacity weekend—but our team pulled it off without a hitch. (Covertly escorting actors along hotel hallways in full FX makeup was especially fun!)
The 'cast of two' featured veteran actor/spokesman/model Bryan Kent and St. Louis native turned LA resident Erin Marie Hogan. Bryan and Erin were first paired together during auditions and they really excelled at bringing the characters to life: Bryan as Howard Steinhaus, the womanizing senior law firm partner; and Erin as Amy, his 'whatever it takes to get to the top' lead paralegal.
The end result is exactly what the filmmakers wanted: an entertaining short film that’s fun to watch. In the end you, the audience, can decide if you agree.
