March proved to be a surprising and busy month. The first Saturday of March found me with auditions
back to back, thankfully at the same casting office, for 2 different short
films. Although I almost canceled them
after a long and tiring week, I put my best foot forward and just had fun with
both of them. I’ve heard as well as
experienced the idea that when you don’t care about landing the job, that’s
when you usually do…and that’s exactly what happened. In fact, I landed both of them which packed
the following 2 weekends with filming.
The first film takes place over the course of a Christmas
Eve as a separated couple discovers that they really don’t want a divorce after
all. Despite fitting 18 pages of
dialogue into 2 days of filming, I had a blast working on this project. Everyone within the cast & crew worked
together to make this a giant collaboration of talents. The storyline also included an on-screen kiss
which happened to be a first for me, and thanks to a great group of people,
proved much easier than I expected.
The other story allowed me the chance to play one character in two very different circumstances…as a flashback memory and as a
ghost. Centered around a man who has
lost his wife and is considering dating again, he spends the movie coming to
terms with letting go and moving on. He
thinks back on a memory of his wife when she was sick and dying.
Her ghost then visits him, encouraging him to find love
again. Although I have not seen the
footage, the director of photography shared with me that the lighting used for the
ghost scene gave an amazing angelic feel with a halo effect.
