It’s been a while since Donald Trunk has been out and about so Sleepless decided to bring him to the Sundance Film Festival.
We took pictures of him in front of the screen, in front of our friends and, then, thought it might be fun to get a picture of him in front of the Festival banner. As we were setting up the shot we noticed a crowd forming nearby. We quickly realized it was because the director of the film had approached the area.
While other fans were busy telling the director, “I’ve always wanted to make a movie,” “I write and sing all day long in my parent’s basement,” “This was the best film I’ve seen all day,” we were busy figuring out a way to get a picture with them and Donald Trunk.
Luckily, I was donning a long scarf and coat which allowed me to conceal Donald Trunk. Even luckier was the fact that the producer walked up just in time to be in the picture. “You want to be in a picture with us?” I asked, flashing him the Don.
He agreed, the other patrons left, I stood between the two of them, put an arm around each of them and the magic happened – my scarf and coat fell to the side providing the perfect opportunity for Donald Trunk to provide a ‘wee’ bit of a photo bomb.
As I walked away, with Donald off the front of my skirt and in Live Longer’s bag (she’s taking him to Dallas for the weekend), the producer approached me and said, “Email that to me, I want to show it to him later. He had no idea.”
That’s the beauty of the photo bomb. Even when it’s a ‘wee’ photo bomb, it’s a good one.
