Schedule changes

It occurred to me yesterday that I scheduled two scenes to be filmed on Easter, so that required a little schedule tweaking. Today I posted a facebook plea to my friends in or near Columbus, seeking extras for Saturday. Becca and I are going shopping tonight to find her a dress to wear that day. [...]

Surly says YES

I have a restaurant that is willing to let me film in it and it is a block and a half from where I am filming the REST of my movie. Life is good. If they hadn’t called, the back-up plan was not going to be pretty. Trust me. However, as it so often goes, [...]

Surly Girls

My brother is awesome. He is the only one who will let me ramble on about the movie (aside from you, dear readers; I appreciate the lack of comments demanding I change subjects before your eyes fall out. (Eww)). I was telling him about maybe getting to film at Surly Girl (I should probably stop [...]

The good news and the bad news

A woman from Surly Girl called yesterday; I *may* get to film my restaurant scene there, if the general manager approves. Oh my goodness. I would be so excited if they let me film there. I e-mailed the woman the screenplay and she said she’d get back to me. The read-through went really, really well, [...]

Breaktime’s over

Back to it, then. My cast is coming tonight for the read-through, although a few people couldn’t make it, or might not make it. That sucks, but since I am not paying anyone, I sure can’t ask them to NOT work or be out of town. I’m going to ask the other actors to read [...]

Living in the ghetto?

I was telling a woman in my department about the new apartment Brandon and I are moving to. I told her where it was, and I could tell she couldn’t picture it right away. Then I said it was just south of Hudson and she flipped out. “Oh NO, you’re not near Hudson, are you?” [...]

13 down, one to go…

I was almost right about my predicted turn out. Instead, four guys came in hopes of getting one of three parts. The one guy I didn’t cast has since accepted a speaking extra role, which very well could have been one of last night’s parts, since “Make Out Guy” only has one line as well. [...]

Casting continues, terror mounts

Six guys are coming to read for three parts tonight at 7. Based on last week’s audition’s expected turn out vs. real turn out, this means three guys will be coming to read for three parts, and that’s fine with me. Over the weekend, I cast a woman in the part of Kendra, which was [...]
