Theater instructor featured in new film on Amazon Prime

What are you binge watching during the pandemic? Why not add to your list a new award-winning movie with a 色香视频 connection?

Thomas Kee, a part-time faculty member in the Department of Theatre, plays a lobster broker in the dark comedy thriller Blow the Man Down. Now available to stream on Amazon Prime, the film focuses on sisters whose attempt to cover up a crime leads them into the illicit underbelly of a fictitious Maine town.

The movie, which won Best Screenplay at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival, is told from a female point of view and immerses viewers in life in a New England fishing village.

鈥淵ou feel the place when you see this movie,鈥 Kee said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a unique film and, no question about it, that鈥檚 the reason Amazon jumped all over it.鈥

Kee鈥檚 past credits include roles in the Showtime series City on a Hill and the movie Chappaquiddick. His professional experience provides an important perspective when teaching 色香视频 students.

And, he relates to Bridgewater students because he attended a similar university.

鈥淎t a state school, you can get that education that makes a difference in your life,鈥 said Kee, whose studies at Eastern Illinois University helped propel him into a successful career. 鈥淚鈥檓 living proof that that鈥檚 the case.鈥

For Blow the Man Down, he traveled to coastal Harpswell, Maine, on frigid days in March 2018 to shoot scenes with Margo Martindale and Will Brittain. Kee and his colleagues kept warm standing by garbage cans lit on fire and jumped around before takes so their teeth didn鈥檛 chatter during close-ups. 

In one scene, Kee drove an old truck. Had he put it in the wrong gear, he might have pushed Martindale into the ocean.

鈥淚 was much more focused on not running Margo Martindale over than whatever acting was going on,鈥 he said.

While the setting posed challenges, its authenticity helped create a film that Kee hopes will help viewers forget, at least for a little while, the problems caused by the pandemic.

鈥淗aving something that can really transport people makes a difference,鈥 he said. 鈥淭hey need to get their mind off what they鈥檙e scared of. Making a good movie is important.鈥
