Jeff Deyo attracts police during The Imposter film shooting
WORSHIP LEADER-turned-actor Jeff Deyo spoke recently about the filming
of the new independent movie The Imposter which stars Jeff and Kevin
Max. He said, "When we were filming the making of one of 'Grand
Design''s music videos for The Imposter movie, we had a run in with
the police! I was up on a bridge singing (lipsyncing for the video)
with a railroad track below. The band members were all playing their
instruments on large individual piles of rock and dirt directly under
the bridge - a very cool setting. The cameras had been up on the
bridge shooting close-ups of me, but now they and the entire crew were
all on the ground beneath the bridge shooting the wide shots of me
singing on the overpass with the band underneath. That meant all the
cars on the bridge couldn't see any cameras, actors or crew except for
me, and had no reason to think I was filming a movie. So, I was
singing and going for it with emotion and everything, but the cars
could only see me waving my arms and talking to myself. So, about five
minutes after I finished shooting that scene, up rolled a police car
with its lights flashing. Yes, you guessed it - they had gotten calls
from some people driving by saying there was a crazy, suicidal maniac
on the bridge! Wild stuff! Thankfully, the mayor of that town had
rolled out the red carpet for us and knew we were shooting. So, the
police believed us when we told them our story."
