Jackie Flash: Pool Player Extraordinairre
17Jul
A young hustler demonstrates his pool playing skills for an audience of no one. Not to be confused with “The Taste of Money,” which I believe was a porno flick the Rommel family rented “bi-mistake.”
I always dug the random music clips that were left behind in the editing of this. This was a CBP joint, I merely was an acting pawn for the intellectual and creative might that was Berg. I also wore tight jeans.

Yessum, this was his sight and sound video entry for Julia Keydel’s NYU undergrad class. The assignment was to capture someone in the action of doing something. But I think he broke the rules by doing a FAKE action, and for having so many cuts and stylized shots. I think we were just supposed to go shoot someone docu style or something. Anyway, you cannot put restrictions of the cybergosh mind. It simply cannot be contained. What began as a mere trip to the pool hall with trusty pal Eros as his subject, became the birth of one of America’s most beloved characters.

haha – yes! I was in this class!! I remember i couldn’t stop laughing when Chris screened this, in part because Keydel was pissed – it was supposed to be a documentary. She said something like, ‘i suspect this isn’t a documentary’…hahaha – this makes me smile
