Waiting is the Harder Part

The silence is deafening when you're expecting a call for a project, and you're just waiting... Of the three projects in Philadelphia now, I've worked on Dream of the Romans through the main casting director. Of the other two, Tenure and Happy Tears, both being casted by the same director, I wait to be called. A call that may never come. I've also sent out emails which include my picture for three films shooting in New York City and one in Virginia: Fitspie, The Taking of Pelham 123, NY I Love You, and Julie & Julia. With Barbara McNamara Casting out of New York, I uploaded my profile into their online registry as well as e-mailing in for Duplicity. Next week, I will be in New York for the SAG open casting call for Brooklyn's Finest being casted by Sylvia Fay Casting. And when all is said and done, all the emails, all the casting calls, is the long wait for that phone to ring. And while waiting, you just keep putting your picture out there.

Good Things to Come

It's a good time to be an extra on the east coast. And why? Because a slew of movies are on their way here, if not arrived already. In Philadelphia, Dream of the Romans, Tenure, and Happy Tears. Coming soon: Marly & Me, Remorse, Three Sistas, The Last Airbender, Transformers 2 to Philadelphia. In DC: My One and Only. Currently filming in New York: The Taking of Pelham 123, Duplicity, Julie & Julia, and coming soon: Brooklyn's Finest. In addition, the area around Philadelphia will be getting two movie studios opening by year's end, which will bring a lot of productions here.

I've been on hiatus for several months, and now's a good time to get ready for a busy season! The truth is, that the work of booking extra work includes a lot of pictures, emails, letters, casting calls, and phone calls. Correspondance takes up a lot of time. constantly putting yourself out for every job opportunity, and being lucky to get jobs on half of them. If you're the look they want they'll call. If not, better luck next time.

So in preperation of that, I've been busy with some of the movies listed above. In preperation of good things to come. This blogsite will be going forward and backward at the same time. Here I will chronicle my efforts, thoughts, and adventures yet to come. At the same time, I will post the the journals I have kept from other shoots over the past eight years. Good things past....Good things to come.
