First of all, really? Got the audition through my own submission on LA Casting, where I don't have video to submit, so a little weird to me even to be called in for a film. No script in advance, red flag #1. Huge crowd of 20 somethings waiting outside, red flag #2. Multiple duos of 20 somethings acting out the same scene, so weird to witness and pretty sad in many cases. Not a red flag just painful. Sides are not in script format and are not exciting, red flag #3. So why am I still here? Well, I left my cozy home on Easter Sunday and drove to Van Nuys (insert puke a little bit in my mouth here... we all know how I fell about the good parts of the valley!) because the breakdown boasted the project is going to Cannes. I figured if I have to go to Van Nuys to get to Cannes, I suppose I will.
The verdict? Well if I had to guess, I'd say no one there is going to Cannes anytime soon. Not an overall terrible experience, though. They didn't have a reader, so they brought us in two at a time. Kinda felt like a free acting class where the teacher liked us. That's always nice.
And what else was I going to do today anyway? Sit around and eat Easter candy? Making up for that now!
Happy Easter everyone!!
