  • So it’s been several years now but I was able to Google it but I didn’t see what film type it was but I remember them telling me they had to have it specially made and it was something ridiculous like several thousand dollars per foot but I might be wrong about that it’s been so many years now I can’t really tell you but it was a hand cranked camera and this is what I found online

    Hand-cranked newsreel footage was taken on Scorsese’s own 1917 Bell and Howell.


  • So I’m not sure of the time for the thing that got me the line but the movie is Killers of the Flower Moon and during a scene where a guy gets kidnapped collecting a letter from the elks Lodge I’m the guy handing him the letter. (They dubbed my voice because I didn’t say “letter for you sir”)

    But at 1:57:00 or so the Osage go to meet the president and beg for help. I’m the secret service guy who shakes her hand and I said something like “thank you so much” if I recall. It was very cool!

    We were actually standing on the runway at an airport in Oklahoma in front a giant blue screen but during the news reel shots we actually filmed it twice, once with scoresese’s personal camera from the 30s. (He collects them) Film was so expensive for that thing we rehearsed that scene about 10 times before shooting. It’s cool they were able cgi from that nearly 100 year old film.
