Hey, everyone remember the movie auditions I mentioned a while back? This morning, I was getting kinda worried. I started to think...maybe I should have a monologue prepared, should I have a headshot, what about a resume? I had gotten myself pretty worked up over the audition. Just like I always have done, though. Since nothing's really riding on this, I shouldn't have gotten so excited.

Auditions were at 1:00, and Coworker Jason arrived at the same time as me. In the band room, we found a rag-tag bunch of people sitting around a table eating lunch. The producer introduced herself (very young, very very cute) and had us write down our names and email addresses on a sheet of paper. Didn't ask for headshot or resume. Phil, the director wasn't there yet, she said, and he had the video camera, so as soon as he arrived things would get going. There would be a bit of cold-reading, but she didn't really say if she had the script, or if it was with the director as well.

So, we wait.

The only other prospective actually had a valid acting resume; some screen-time while living in New York, plus some performing around Fargo. Me, I told about my theatre history, while Jason just kept quiet.

And, we wait.

After 20 minutes, we were dismissed with a "we'll let you know."
