Need some technical/creative help

[mapsedge]

I need an actor to bleed from the nose. 

Starting with a clean face, I want one small line of blood from one nostril, as if a valve opened in his sinuses to let a bit of blood through.  It would be ideal if there could be several seconds of clean face before the blood appears...maybe even a word or two of dialog.

Naturally, I don't want my actor to aspirate the stuff, and I don't have the wherewithal to create a fake head.

Ideas?

p.s. Yeah, it's a weird request.  Get used to it.

I have a friend back in KC that was the special effects wizard for a metric shit-ton of low-budget horror flicks around KC. He worked a lot with Todd Sheets as I recall... anyway, he was a master of blood, gore, and zombies -- had several various articulated body parts and full body models in his living area.

The name is Ryan Oliphant. He used to hang out at Charlies when I was bouncing there. He's also a talented air-brush artist and tattoo-ist (he did the bands on my forearms and the shield/sword/motto on my left upper arm.)

I'll see if I can dig up his phone number and toss it at you. If I can't find it in time to help with this particular issue, he would prolly be a good resource for other things.

That would be very cool, thank you!
