Unexpected from Paul Maupoux on Vimeo.

This was a project from a couple years ago, before we called ourselves Cro-Magnon Pictures.  It was an experiment in using improvisation and a documentary shooting style.  The scene is a couple at home late one night when a stranger shows up at their door asking to use the phone.  There was no script, no predetermined plot outline, and it was all shot in one uninterrupted take.  The actor playing the stranger was given a back-story and a clear goal for the scene.  The actors playing the couple were not even aware they would be joined by a third.  They all reacted to the situation and each other while we filmed with three cameras.
