(51) Angel’s Baby

(51) Angel’s Baby. As dive-club waitress Nana, in the short film Angel’s Baby directed by Magdalena Solé.

Working in the less glamorous end of NYC nightlife, my character Nana is going through some hassles. So too is my colleague, here in the bar’s cramped dressing-room—a woman named Angel, whose job is to writhe suggestively with a feather boa on a tatty little stage. But tonight at last Angel has had enough of this, and of our boss’s groan-worthy comedy performances: she just walks offstage and out of the dive-bar for good, saying no goodbyes to us. I think I recall this was shot in the well-worn Jupiter Lounge, in a pre-gentrified Lower East Side. (1’48”)
