AHHHHHHHH

Hi! So, this week I am super, super, super busy because I'm going up to Tampa to compete at STN (yippee!). Luckily, me and Megan have a planned-out a schedule for the rest of the week so we don't fall behind too much. And to be honest, we are making progress, so I'm really happy about that. I do think we're a little behind schedule, but that's mostly my fault since I've been having writer's block with the script. Luckily, we are making progress with casting, which was my biggest concern. 

Yesterday, we sent out a casting call to the drama club in hopes to get a couple of people to audition:

CAST CALLING FOR A SCI-FI SHORT FILM

AUDITIONS HELD ON: 2/27/2024 @ 3:30

CONTENT:

We are in need of actors for our current short film in production! This film is a sci-fi/dystopia film that takes place in the times of robots and scientists...

We are looking for an actor who can display a very robotic character that slowly becomes more human overtime..

More will be explained at auditions and if/when you contact!

For this audition you will be provided with a monologue to perform as well as a poem that you will have to read out loud and convey your voice acting skills throughout it.

PAY: A free meal wherever you like for every filming day we have :)

WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR AMAZING PERFORMANCES

THANK YOU.

So far, we've gotten 10 responses which is GREAT.

Unfortunately, we forgot to specify that we wanted male actors for the leading role which is not so great. Honestly, the characters aren't completely set in stone yet, but we've been envisioning the lead as a guy so it's hard to let the vision go. For now, we'll just be auditioning the lead as a gender-neutral role just in case someone else comes along and just really surprises us. I guess we'll see. Since I'll be out of town, Megan will do record the auditions, and I'll look through them and we'll cast the roles together. Biggest obstacle we have right now in terms of casting is that a lot of the drama kids are very busy because their tech week and show is coming up, so they have rehearsals almost every day after school. We decided to take a survey from those looking to audition for which day is best for the majority. We are still waiting to get responses from that so we can set up a clear date and time and we also have to find a place to hold the auditions. But aside from all that, we're ready to hold them. Megan went more into depth on her blog about the process so I'll be brief here. 

We are having people audition with a monologue from BSG and a poem. The monologue fits because it's got similar themes as our concept. We chose the poem solely because the script has some voice-over and we want someone who can do good voice acting.

That's all I got for today. Really excited to see who auditions and what we see!
