Spare Parts (29

Palms, CA)

Two characters from the project, Max Sharam the opera singer and Camille Waldorf, the town's shaman and Bob's muse.

Max Sharam T h e O p e r a S i n g e r

A singing traveller, a sleeping beauty on the way to New York getting stuck only three hours from the west coast in the small desert community.Being a restless soul and always having traveled a lot, Max, an opera singer and musician, finds herself at a point in her life, at which she has to ask herself: Being an artist at heart, which she believes to be, has she seriously committed to that? Or is she inherently nomadic and indeed already living the life of a bohemian, who cannot conform? During her travels in her younger years, she met Sebastian, a beautiful Mexican man, who dreamed of becoming a filmmaker, while she was dreaming of meeting her soul mate in a German artist. They spent a more or less platonic period of time together, only to part ways at the end in order to pursue their respective dreams. Sebastian at that point suggested meeting after ten years and getting married then, but this meeting never transpires. Twenty years after their initial meeting they reconnect by chance through a friend at a Cinque de Maggio party. When they were re-united after 20 years he is at a cross-roads in his life as his girlfriend of 4 years has just fallen pregnant and wants

to get married. Max encouraged him to go back to his girlfriend and do the right thing and raise the child and be a good father / family. So he does. Somewhat despondent and disappointed but feeling glad that she did the right thing. She then takes to hitchhike East but only in a few hours into the back lands. After, she gets stranded in 29 Palms, CA where she befriends Oxana, the actress, who she helps to open up emotionally. She also gets up to perform at the “Lonely Hearts” radio show, whose DJ falls in love with her when they meet.

Camille Waldorf T h e T O w n ’ S S h a m a n

An ethereal character. She’s the towns “shaman”, Bob’s muse, leads the funeral procession, conducts the weddings etc...She finds the dead birds.

She speaks very little on-screen. The Muse exists in some kind of vacuum, not connected to anybody, but living in her own world, which she has created. Camille Waldorf was last seen in four seasons by Radha Mitchell and Stefanie Schneider’s project wonder valley.
