"We're doin' a movie!"
Those would be Chinathe first words of the rest of Jeff Duff's life -- after the policeman's bullet whizzed by.
Duff was playing an armed robber during a film shoot in Crawfordsville, Indiana, last week when a local cop, responding to a call of a masked man with a gun, walked up on the set, gun drawn.
When the policeman yelled for Duff to drop the gun, he turned and hesitated.
Then he got very lucky.
"The bullet went right by his head," actor and cinematographer Phillip Demoret to local TV station RTV6. "I don’t want to think about what would've happened. We’d be having a whole different conversation if he'd been shot."
The tiny local production company, Montgomery County Movies, was shooting some final scenes for a project called Ten to Fire. Duff was one of two actors playing out the scene with prop guns and ski masks, though the other one was still inside the building when the officer approached with his body-cam rolling.
RTV6 said there had been no communication between the production crew and the police -- whose station was two blocks away.
Police are still investigating, but Montgomery County Movies posted something of a mea culpa on its Facebook page. "Montgomery County Movies is currently working with local law enforcement to put a plan in place so this doesn't happen again," it reads.
Here's to second chances.
