Keith Manheim in Out Magazine
A few days ago yours truly opened his e-mail inbox. Illy Martiz, a freelance writer at Out Magazine wrote me and told me that an interview he did with us on our last session in Prague had been published in the April issue of Out Magazine. Here are some quotes from the article.
“I joined the scout and his three recruits outside a Prague shopping center. The production house that placed the ad, Keith Manheim Studios, said it would be OK to sit in on a shoot with them. It wasn’t Bel Ami but it would have to do.
The fixer a Romanian named Constantin was clad head to toe in Nike gear. The actors whore distressed jeans, spiked hair, and leather jackets. Everyone loaded into Constantin’s gold BMW 528, tearing off through the streets of Prague at a terrifying speed. A short distance outside Prague’s city limits, Constantin steered into a suburb of newly built American-style homes. He pulled up in front of an eight-car garage and led the men inside, introducing them to the director, Keith Manheim, a doughy Icelander in his early 30s.”
“The action was plodding. Filming each individual position went on for 15 minutes or more, demanding that the actors stay in formation the entire time, moaning monotonously as they thrust and parried. Jan tried to lighten the mood by making faces. Occasionally the owner of the garage, a real-life auto technician who looks nothing like Under the Hood’s mechanics, passed through to retrieve a tool”
