Auditioning Madness

Well, we had our first round of auditions last week and we did find a few gems. This is not my favorite part of the process. There is a definite dividing line between excellent and mediocre. And where did the professionalism go? I don't mean to vent, well, yes I do. I mean, just come in, be pleasant, do your thing and go. Spare me the theatrics! Ha! Ya, I just said that. Seriously, we saw some great people and I am quite sure one or two have a real shot at kicking A on this project.

Next week we will be auditioning at McCarty Talent. We haven't worked with them for some time now. Cross your fingers. We will be holding open auditions soon. We have a stack of headshots to go through which is very awesome. This film is all about the acting. This is where our budget is taking the dent. We know how to get just about everything else for next to nothing, but this time we are looking for great performances.

WARNING. TANGENT. I have to admit that blogging, podcasting, facebooking, twittering, telegraphing and etching in stone do take up a lot more time than we thought. Please be patient, we all have full time jobs for Pete's sake. Oops. Excuse me. You guys have been great. We have had lots of fans join our facebook page and we're getting quite a few hits on our site. Thank you for your interest and support. We promise to be better. We just bought a great little camera (Flip Mino HD) to shoot behind the scenes videocasts.

That's the update for now.

Go beyond cool.
