Richard Burgi 'How They Smiled'

Okay, I found this on Tumblr so I feel rewarded for being brave. Though you can't use html to add a link in your post which threw me.

RB is in/will be in a short film (12 mins long) called 'How They Smiled'. Anyone seen it/heard of it?

Bestselling New York novelist Henry Jenkins (Richard Burgi) is not a man of many words. He drinks his tea and enjoys his toast, and walks no more than four blocks to seventh street to Lizzy's coffee shop, where he sits three seats away from the door. Henry has finished the final draft in his penultimate novel in the "Blood Asp" series, which have won him multiple awards over the years. Lizzy Garland (Heather Snell), on the other hand, is a woman of many words. She keeps her customers coming back with her warm spirit and inviting conversation. Henry stays for the tea, and because it takes his mind off certain things.... But he has a plan, and a machine, which if things go well, he will get them back, and will remember how they smiled...

Lots of photos, some behind the scenes, here.

Here are three behind the cut.

Whitney Houston dies

God, how many times did I get ready to go out in my twenties singing along to 'All the Man That I Need' because it gave me chills? I made them play it at our wedding and David wouldn't dance to it :-(

Such a gorgeous voice, such a sad ending to her life. She was 48; I'm 48 in May.

I'm sure as hell not ready to go and I wish she hadn't.
