Rehearsals

Yeah, so I haven't posted in awhile.

That's kind of bad in the early part of a blog.

In any event, I have managed to get some rehearsals under my belt. It was not easy, considering that everyone who had a scene together seemed to have conflicting schedules, but by shear power of annoyance and calling incessantly or by sending a whole lot of e-mails, I managed to get some done.

I wasn't really that insane about it, but it did take a lot of calls.

However, all of the rehearsals went great. Everyone is giving a top notch performance. They have managed to get in the spirit of the characters quickly. They are really talented. I just hope I can keep them going on this project.

Meetings and more auditions

So, I must say, the meeting went super duper wonder well. Yes, I know that is not a technical or business term and I don't care.

We set our rehearsal schedules and our production schedules. Also, we brainstormed on marketing ideas and a whole bunch of 30 second spots.

The best thing was to finally get everyone together in one place. I had spent so much time reassuring everyone that things were happening and that I did see everyone and that they were not the only ones working on this thing. So I know that a good number of people were relieved to see that the other people did exist.

Tomorrow I am holding another damn audition. You would think with all the people out there who want to be actors and actresses, getting them would be like shooting fish in a barrel. Nosirreebob!

This one is at an actor's studio and has been posted on five different sites, as well as put out in a couple of newsletters. If I cannot get actors and actresses tomorrow, I am hanging up my hat.
