Chris Haslam text’d me this shot from the The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty movie set in Central Park. Has and I sit down for these powwows at this diner and catch up every few months, depending on his crazy nomad travel schedule; we had time to connect right before I headed out there, the summer before last… Chris is one of my closest friends, so I opened up about how intimidated I was about the movie. The shoot date was creeping up, and I was having doubts about being ready to skate in front of Ben Stiller, not knowing exactly what they wanted me to do– imagining the worst. Has is always so cool and encouraging; he helped me a lot, so I grabbed one of his boards before I made the trip to NYC to shoot the scenes in the Park, and used it through the whole shoot.
