A Question For Mr. Grey, Crashing Type, The... Are You in This Movie?

If not, any behind-the-scenes stories to tell about it?

Cool Kaywoodie stuff, and more importantly it’s awesome to see Ms Harry still involved in making Happy Pipes after all these years

If not, any behind-the-scenes stories to tell about it?

Perhaps before Nate's time? I recognize the names Paul Bonacquisti and Bill Feuerbach in the IMDB cast list. Maybe there are other pipe folks in there? Pipe Dreams (Short 2011) | Short, Drama - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1730226/

Well, now I can truly say I've seen everything.

But that's 21:37 mins of my life I'll never get back.

 

[huntertrw]

Blondie, is that really you?

Nice cameos, I’m guessing 2011 was before @crashthegrey’s association (but I could be wrong).

Blondie, is that really you?

…and still age-appropriately hot as ever.

Speaking of Debbie Harry, check out this interview she did on a TV show for kids after she was already famous.

Absolutely zero stage-y crap, narcissistic nonsense, self-promotion, or product promotion. Just the real deal. Who she really was when not performing or otherwise "on the job".

Utterly charming, imo:

 

[crashthegrey]

I am definitely not, but Bill and his dad are. And that was really Blondie. They filmed in one of the old Kaywoodie factories. Bill has great stories about this. Glad someone found it.

Also in the movie was pipemaker Renato Cristiano

 

[theTomTom]

I was thinking it might be kool to get a kaywoodie.

ill never be getting one.

 

[HeadMisfit]

ive had to endure through middle school plays that had better acting, script, direction, plot, and dare i say better acting.

 

[GKChesterton]

No. Thank God.

 

[ssjones]

I think that is Bob B in the middle. I used to see him with some frequency at the Park Lane shop.

Not much of a plot ... but ... pipes! The credits were interesting! I recognized a few names. And, special thanks to ... Phoebe Snow?

it was like an episode of dawsons creek. Seemed almost the first half of a hall mark afterschool special movie about suicide.

that sounds just like what their teacher would say when put in charge of the play.

Phoebe Snow was supposed to be original actress slated for the part that Debbie Harry played. But she had a stroke a month or two before filming started and Debbie Harry took her place. I guess the special thanks were because of her recommending Blondie for the part as they were friends.

That is pipemaker Renato Cristiano

 

[driftedshank1]

kwguy is correct about Renato. This film was shot at the Kaywoodie factory in Peekskill, NY. I believe it was way too much space considering the number of pipes produced. Bill then moved the operation to less expensive and somewhat smaller digs in New Windsor, NY.
