Quest of the Delta Knights:
I was a pain in the ass mostly - young and stupid and didn't realize how terrible of a low budget movie it was... I was briefly into the Renaissance faire scene because of a young lady (who broke up with me on my birthday). I heard David Warner was on location at one of the faires in California while I was out there and always admired him (especially in Time Bandits) so I went down and just blended in. I became friends with Redge Mahaffey (writer and financier) because we both were from the same area on East Coast.
Life 101:
Continuity director, wardrobe, sets, acting, etc... I got to hang out a lot with Corey Haim, Keith Coogan and Ami Dolenz until she got pissed that I sat in her chair and mocked her because she had to have Evian water to wash her hair when she was on set. Keith dropped acid one day during filming and stripped naked and ran off into the woods. The whole thing was a mess...
My name doesn't show up on either movie credits because I didn't do much on Quest... and Redge wanted me to pay to have my name in the credits of Life 101.
I also worked on Blair Witch 2 Book of Shadows but left when one of my coworkers accidently destroyed a set and ruined a week's worth of shooting.
Later, I did some "gun and run," filming in public locations without permits or permission for no budget student films. I also picked up industrial print work in Baltimore and for a time had my face plastered on a giant billboard for a Bon Secours Hospital ad which sucked because it was a terrible picture of me... I've done some other small stuff but gave it all up when I got a job on the engineering side of TV production. I quit my job in TV when they moved production to New York.
Not as exciting as being a porn star...
Too bad you didn't get to actually work with David Warner...but it's still a cool story!
He was a nice guy but a totally lost soul. I was pretty sad when he died.
