Bowie's own summary:
My first true film appearance was in a movie called The Image, an underground black and white avant garde-type thing done by some guy(Michael Armstrong). He wanted to make a film about a painter doing a portrait of a guy in his teens, and the portrait comes to life and, in fact, turns out to be the corpse of some bloke. I can't remember all the plot, if indeed it had a plot, but it was a fourteen-minute short and it was awful.(“Musician”, 1983.5, p. 59)
For this godawful film, which was to resurface circa Ziggy in a Soho(London)porn theatre, David was paid the grand sum of thirty pounds. During a scene in which he appeared through a window in the rain, David had to hang from a ledge while buckets of water were poured on him. Somehow he persisted, though all was not glamour, apparently realizing that the experience was worth it in the interests of his film education.
