Resume? Check. Headshot? Check. Parking spot? Um…

This afternoon, after class, I drove downtown to audition for the feature film Departure.  It was sort of scary, but a great experience.  The most stressful part of the whole thing was finding where to park- I couldn’t find any street parking, so I was forced to circle the block for about ten minutes.  Eventually, I glimpsed a parking lot with two lone empty spots. Thankfully, it was within reasonable walking distance to the NFG office building. Once I found the building, I walked into the lobby and headed to floor three, suite 320.  Once I got there, I signed in at the desk, filled out the audition form, and grabbed two sides (portions of the script). Then… I waited.

While I was waiting, I saw a few actors that came to our shoot Saturday- Shirley, Jill, and Randy.  They all recognized me and wished me good luck, which was pretty awesome.  I also got to meet with the NFG president, Derek, and discussed becoming a member- which I will be in a few days!

Finally, my name was called and I walked down the hall and into the room where the director and screenwriter (Brent!) were waiting. There was this big, gorgeous camera ready to film my audition.  I handed my form, resume, and headshot to the director and then simply waited for their cue.  Once they gave it, I read through the lines, said thank you and goodbye- and that was it.  Couldn’t have been more painless!
