Reclusive actor Marlon Brando is in final negotiations to star as himself in “Brando and Brando”, a low-budget movie about disenfranchisement and broken spirits.

The 3 million pound project details the story of a young innocent with a fascination for the American dream — embodied by the iconic Brando — on a journey of hope to the United States. Brando has played an active role in the development of the project, which is scheduled to shoot this summer on location in Tunisia and Los Angeles.

Writer/director Ridha Behi describes his screenplay as “a path to explore the desperately unfair conflict between Western technological and materialistic power and those many human beings whose only weapons are their identity and their timeless values.”

Brando was last in cinemas with “The Score”, a 2001 heist movie starring Robert De Niro and Edward Norton.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
