They’re Gonna Put (Lain) in the Movies!

They’re gonna make a big star out of (Lain)!

The Wren’s Nest’s own Executive Director got one step closer to his overreaching goal of celebrity status today. A natural on camera (naturally flustered, that is), Lain was filmed for a documentary about the West End and Westview neighborhoods here in Atlanta. Big time!

(The crew, doing what they do best: making Lain nervous.)

Lain answered the crew’s questions about the West End in general and the Wren’s Nest’s current and historical role therein.

While it’s always funny to hear Lain talk about how people react to his role as an Executive Director of a historic house museum (see: incredulously), it’s even funnier when Lain is talking about his work in a Very Professional Sense with a backwards baseball cap.

They asked him to remove the hat, for lighting purposes. He couldn’t, due to the fact that showing his atrocious hat hair on camera would have prevented him from ever being taken seriously again.

(A narrowly-missed tribute to Alfalfa.)

While I can’t provide you any information about when this film will be available for viewing, or how to find it, I do encourage you to seek out every media reference to the West End you can find in the meantime. You have several hundred hours to spare, right?
