TV Show

I did an episode for a TV News Program that isn't real news but for laughs... it's a lot like America's "Onion"

The episode was based on this TV network in Turkey called "FashionOne" I have NO IDEA who would actually watch this crap but is a 24-7 fashion network that plays runway shows one after the other. The TV show obviously wanted to make fun of it... so "supposedly" the FashionOne network did a survey on who watches their show the most. And in this joke survey apparently this tiny small town where they don't even have cars... at this all men coffee cafe ended up being the most devoted watchers. So in the episode FashionOne to thank their loyal views sent a bunch of models to this town to put on a runway show for them and in the end of the episode it zoomed out on us models partaking in typically man-activities for Turkey like smoking pipes, playing cards etc.

For the job we ended up crowding in a bus for 2 hours to drive to this tiny town in Turkey... we had to film in a men's only coffee cafe which is actually a pretty typical thing for small towns. The place is called Kafve and no women are allowed. We actually had to run 3 blocks to use the bathroom because there is no women's bathrooms in this place. We had to film us walking through the streets with children and chickens running with us... and of course the runway show and finishing it up we played games with the men. I ended up playing backgammon with this 80 year old turkish man who insisted he had to teach me how to play, but with the language barrier it ended up being really silly. Apparently to show you are a strong masculine player you need to slap down the chips as hard as you can and grunt.

I think I need some work.
