How it feels

A filmmaker tries to shoot the final scene of his wedding-themed short film. The actor playing the bride's father is a no-show, so the bride's actual father steps in. He keeps demanding retakes, testing the director's patience.

What happens

『テイク8』(テイクエイト)は、上田慎一郎監督による2015年製作の日本の短編映画。2018年10月12日より、『上田慎一郎ショートムービーコレクション』の一篇として劇場公開。 自主映画監督の隆夫(芹澤興人)は恋人の茜(山本真由美)を花嫁役に「結婚」をテーマにした新作を撮影していた。撮影は快調に進み、残すは1シーンのみだったがそのシーンに出演する花嫁の父親役の役者が現場に来ない。そこで見学に来ていた茜の実の父・徹(牟田浩二)が代役として出演することになるが、徹は隆夫に難癖をつけ、撮り直しを何テイクも要求する。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
