Mean drunks need not apply

January 30, 2008

Ya gotta love the casting process.

Last night I put an ad on Craigslist asking for 20 extras: 10 men, 10 women.

This morning, I get a picture of a guy who looks like he just rolled off his matress near Waller Creek. OK, fine. Diversity is good — beat up white guy in his 40s. Definitely could be a reporter.

Here’s our email exchange:

Him: “Free food and beer?”

Me:  “No beer. The last thing I need is drunk actors :) )”

Him: “All the best were drunks sis–  Look it up-  Not a drunk and not interested”

Me: “Buh bye.”

Him: “Last thing I need ARE drunk actors.  Make sure to edit while surfing for your heroes, hottie-   C-yaa in the sun- Looks like a nice one out there”

And there you have it. The glamorous life of an amateur movie maker.

At least he called me a hottie. I think I can go on…

Make Up Artist

January 29, 2008

Hey all –

I’ve put out a call for a make up artist and a hair stylist to make us look fabulous during shooting.

So far, no luck.

People who don’t want to work for free when they could be getting paid??? I don’t understand….

Anyway, if any of you know any great folks out three ready to work for experience and the cost of the makeup, let me know. Or tell them to check out this site and we’ll get things rolling.

Remember: Those of you who can make it this weekend for documentary improv, please come. This includes: Eileen, Todd, Miguel, Dave, Spruce, Suzannah, Sandra, Rosemary, Robyn, Karina, Kathy.  I understand some of you can’t make it. That’s cool. 

Dacia, Rob Cudmore, Phil – if you can make it, feel free to come along. Meet the gang. 

Date: Saturday

Time: Noon

Location: 1414 Choquette Drive

 Snacks and 5 year old children provided. Bring pets if you want. My dogs love everyone.

Me — Andrea — playing Rosemary’s cameo because she had previous arrangements. I promise, real Rosemary will be much better. And prettier.

Destroy Roy: Goodbye Joyce

Thanks to the movie magic of our Executive Producer Brian Diggs, we have clips from Saturday’s rehearsal. Not only are they funny, but they’re useful. 

For those of you who don’t know, this is the scene where Roy fires Joyce, then explains the facts of life to his assistant, Alicia.

Check it out, enjoy, tell your friends and expect to see more soon!

Clips of Saturday’s Rehrearsal

January 28, 2008

Thanks to the move magic of Producer Brian Diggs, we have Saturday’s readthrough on film!

 Hopefully, Brian will be able to send us a snippet that we can enbed on this site to A) Give people a sense that we are really doing this B) Let us privately critique our performances and see how we might change our interpretations and C) Add a dynamic element to the website that will draw more viewers.

 Yesterday we had a record 223 visits to our site and we’re not even advertising.

Let’s keep that momentum going!
