(21) Shelter

(21) Shelter. As a one-night stand named Trick in a Long Island beachfront house, in the feature film Shelter directed by Benno Schoberth.

I’m visiting an unfamiliar house, expecting to find nobody other than the guy I’ve arranged to pick up as a one-night stand—only to find that a woman (whom I wrongly assume to be his girlfriend) seems to have shown up too and is glaring at him and me from across the room, dressed in scarlet, with her arms folded ominously. He and I do still leave together, but it’s an awkward moment.

We filmed in a house overlooking the sunny autumn sea, somewhere on the North Fork of Long Island, almost two weeks after 9/11. IMDb listing here. (39”)
