I went to an Austin filmmakers networking meeting last night, and a local producer/writer ordered me to audition for her project tonight. I get all the audition notices in e-mail, but don't go to many because I'm a big chicken. The last two meetings I attended, I was scolded by directors who had just finished casting new projects for not sending in my headshot, so this time I was caught the night before auditions and I guess I ought to go.
The role she wants me for is an over-the-top flamboyant psychic. I deleted the e-mail because I just didn't see myself as the "type" -- I picture psychics as dark women with black hair and Ms Cleo phoney accents, but she wants someone pale and ethereal. Okay, I can do pale.
It's a cute short comedy film. Angela's won awards with her previous works and they get seen by all the other filmmakers and sent to festivals.
Go for it! Your photo shows high spirits and the devil in your eyes certainly fits the flamboyant bill.
And to think, we knew you when!!
I'll let you now when to drop by the hood on Saturday when commercials will be filming in our garage and our neighbors', also. You can bond with some more film types here, and get some more contacts.
Cheers.
