Background Extra

Years ago my design studio ended up in the background of some Hollywood movie they were shooting in Berlin. We were barely in it—a few seconds, maybe, in what looked like our own office. The only part I remember is throwing a file folder across the room by accident during one of the takes, and somehow that made it into the final cut. It’s the kind of thing that seems exciting for about five minutes and then you forget about it entirely. My colleague Christian played a security guard in the same scene, which was funnier than my accidental prop work.
