J. Keith: Discount Fortune-Teller
Here’s a bit we did for the old “The J. Keith van Straaten Show” that we showed in the theatre. I’m guessing this is from 2002 or so. If you wanted, you could look it up, based on when Jeremy Giambi got traded.
Anyhow, the motivation for this was my interest in skepticism and my amusement and anger at how much credence was being given to phonies like John Edward and Sylvia Browne. Also, I thought the idea was kind of funny.
So we just set up a little table on Melrose and offered people free readings. We shot the whole thing in a couple hours one afternoon.
Produced and directed by Julia Coyote. Shot by Ben Goretsky on my old Sony Hi-8 camera.
