Turning to movies, how did you come to act in Andrew Bujawski’s films?
Justin: We went to college with Andrew. He actually lived with us on Bishop Allen Drive. A few years later he called me: “I’m interested in writing a screenplay and I want you to play the main part in it.” I didn’t even think about it because any time a friend of mine asks me to do some sort of project I’ll agree. I didn’t necessarily think it was going to happen but he set to work writing the screenplay and about a year and a half later we actually shot the thing. We shot that almost 4 years ago. SXP: And Christian appeared in his first film too – Funny Ha Ha. Justin: A lot of what he does is he casts his friends in roles he thinks they’re suited for. Which is not to say we are the characters we portray in his films, but some element of these characters is based on us and some element is the way he imagines our lives to be or some role he imagines we could play. I can imagine him doing something very different in the future but right now what he’s interested in is making these movies
