As a promotional stunt of sorts, Hypnotic.com selected Jessica Bell to spend four days in a window display at the Sony Theater on Broadway and 68th. Jessica was to be their "filmmaker in a box" - a cross between a 'Big Brother' concept and a circus sideshow which allowed passers-by to view a real live filmmaker at work. Jessica was chosen because of the high ratings of her short film, RIMSKA, which can be viewed at Hypnotic.com.

We asked Jessica to write about her experience and she gave us the following note scribbled on the inside of a pack of Camel Lights:

To the concerned folks at Disk-O:

I have recently survived living in a window display of an Upper West Side movie theater for four days, in order to shamelessly promote myself as a filmmaker and the experience has left me neurotic, socially dysfunctional, and a bit hairy in the armpits. The excessive amount of time I spent criticizing oblivious passers by caused me to never again be able to walk past a person wearing socks and sandals without screaming "Gutentag!" Another side effect of living on display is that now that I am out, I can't seem to fall asleep without the sound of a pervert rubbing his balls against the window pane. I am also finding that the only time I feel really comfortable talking to anyone now is when I go to visit my Uncle Paddy at Sing Sing. Luckily, on the last day there, a light fell and hit me on the head, so now I can use the settlement money to pay for intensive therapy. On a down note, the blow to my cranium left me with a slight case of amnesia, which for the most part hasn't been a problem, except that I keep forgetting to pull my pants down before I use the toilet. One might ask, "Was it all worth it?" Hell yeah, for $700 and a segment on the news of a New Jersey cable station, wearing a diaper isn't so bad. Check out my film, Rimska , on Hypnotic.com and I can guarantee that it won't be nearly as traumatizing.
