Audition Week

In getting all this together I have not been submitting myself for any auditions, primarily due to time constraints and not wanting to make any commitments that might prevent me from shooting my pilot.

Had a great and informative meeting with a fellow actor yesterday Mike Hahn and his lovely wife. Really look forward to working with the two of them. It's rare to find down to earth people in this business we call acting, hence my very limited pool of "acting friends".

Thursday is casting day at Cazt and I'm really looking forward to it. Out of  over 1000 submissions, I'm only able to squeeze in about 100 (that's only if people don't do the famous dance, "The Los Angeles Flake"), but overall I see it being successful. I have a great crew, now It's time to get a great cast to bring this thing alive.

Yesterday Mike and I talked about Insurance for the shoot (you don't wanna be held liable for anything that happens on your set) and after talking to another acquaintance of mine, I've decided that it will be too out of my budget. I know I'm running a real risk here, but in a smaller market, it would be doable. Unfortuantley this is L.A. and the cost jumps tremendously, especially for small budget productions as the risk is greater.

It's Monday and I'm going to be going over some paperwork and contact my DP. I'll report back tomorrow-Peace
