ON THE SET OF "SHADOWS IN THE GARDEN" (2002)

Behind-the-scenes stills from the set of Wayne Spitzer's 2002 short, Shadows in the Garden. YOU try directing a cast and crew of volunteers (including a dog), in near-freezing temperatures, in a 3-hour costume/make-up job that cuts off all circulation to your extremities!

Above: Wayne Spitzer seems pretty upbeat as his Sylkk costume/make-up comes together. Of course, the night is young.

Wayne gets ready to say goodbye to the outside world for awhile. A long while!

Bob Schleufer begins the delicate procedure of affixing Sylkk's head.

Almost as fun as playing the Snakeman. But this was worth it.
