Algonquin TV Broadcasting Grads Tell the Story of Kevin the Bacon in International Bacon Film Festival Documentary
Posted on Thursday, August 28th, 2014
Life’s not easy when you’re Kevin the Bacon.
Kevin’s daily struggles, captured in a three minute documentary simply titled “Kevin“, will be shown August 29 at the International Bacon Film Festival in San Diego.
The documentary, which was purchased by Hormel Foods, has two Algonquin College connections – Alex Williams and Sean Hockey, graduates of the College’s Television Broadcasting program.
“The inspiration for the video came to our director, Helder Mauricio Carvajal, as he wanted to see the point of view of the bacon, rather than someone who likes bacon,” explains Alex, who plays Kevin in the documentary. “And it basically consisted of me riffing whatever came to my head about what celebrity life for a bacon strip would be, and having people who were watching (mainly Sean and Mauricio) giving me ideas to riff off of. The date scene was the same way. The girl had her lines set, and I would improvise on her lines.”
