Amazing 1st Casting Call
Last night - on May 9, 2011, I had the opportunity to experience actors perform words that I had written. It was both humbling and exciting. We had an amazing first casting call! Ten actors auditioned for principal roles for our upcoming Speedsuit Powers film. By the end of the night, my Casting Director, Casting Consultant and I had narrowed down our picks.
We varied up the scenes to see their versatility: light comedy mixed with some heavy drama. A couple of the actors did cold readings, having been asked by us to read for a character they did not expect. After giving them a few minutes to look over lines they had never seen before, they gave a performance as if they had studied the lines for a few days! A couple of the dramatic scenes moved us to tears…
Names and pictures can’t be given at this time - but if this group of actors is any indication - open call auditions on May 24th are going to be amazing! Which actors will make the lineup? The running is going to be tight - and you won’t be disappointed when you see them on screen. We should be able to unveil them by the beginning of June.
Stay tuned!
