Eventful Week

To say the least, it's been an interesting week for me.

Sunday I had a callback for the short film, Coffee Run. I was pretty excited because the director and producer seemed like really cool guys and the premise is very funny. At the callback, I just let loose and had fun. They said I should know by Wednesday if I've been cast or not.

The next few days I was at home, making messes, submitting acting projects and doing laundry. Wednesday came and went and I didn't hear anything about my callback. Oh well, it was a 50/50 chance that I'd get it. Thursday morning, I get a call from Reb, the producer of Coffee Run, offering me the part. Of course, I excitedly accepted. Later that day, on the way to an audition, I checked the mailbox and there was a letter from my agent. Upon opening it, I discover a form letter letting me know that since they hadn't received any feedback from my pictures they had sent out, they have decided to terminate our working relationship.

Um....what?
I've been a client of theirs all of 3 months.
Okaaaaayyyy.

Honestly, I laughed. I mean, I've been submitting myself for all sorts of projects and have been getting at least one audition a week. Maybe some people like my headshots moreso than others.

My audition went well and the way home, I have a brilliant idea for a short film of my own. Starring me, of course. I had gotten a message from my friend Ellen, who is also represented by my agent, saying she also got the form letter. We were both a little shocked. She said she had called the agent's office, talked to them and scheduled a meeting to discuss the work relationship. I left a message that night, but still haven't heard back.

Friday, I received an e-mail about a pilot that I auditioned for two weeks ago. I was scheduled for a callback Saturday morning. Too cool! I had a lot of fun at that audition and was excited that I was being considered for a part. I totally thought I wasn't going to hear from them. Friday night, I started working on my short idea and had more fleshed out the storyline.

So that brings us to today - Saturday. I awoke to find that I gotten an email about shooting a bit part in another short film on Sunday. I went to the callback for the pilot and had a really good time. I should be hearing back from them soon about whether I've been cast or not. Regardless, I had fun, and that's what it's all about, right? Well, I'm home now and am going to work on my script. It was such a great week for me in regard to auditioning and getting out there that I'm feel successful even if my agent dropped me.

Welcome to the New Year

Ok, so we're a few weeks into the new year. I finally feel like I've recovered from the holidays and am ready to face the new year's challenges head on.

My agent and I are getting everything in order for pilot season and commercial auditions. I also just auditioned for a student film that I would love to be a part of. The audition went very well [no regrets!] and I should know midweek if I have a call-back.

Wish me luck!

It's The Holiday Season

The holidays are in full effect. Shopping, shopping shopping and gift wrapping is about to get underway.

Regardless, I'm still submitting for projects and think that I've found an agent that will be proactive in the coming year.

Renewed Goals

Well, I've taken a week away from the hectic buzz of LA to recharge my batteries over at my brother's in NoCal. It's been great.

Now that I'm running at full capacity, pictures and resumes of yours truly are going to be flying into the hands of theatrical and commercial agents all over town. With the film online and being the 5th most watched and 10th highest ranked for this season of shorts, I've got a lot to offer to potential agents.

If anyone has leads on agents who are seeking new talent, leave me a comment!
