The longish day

Our shoot went a lot better, apparently, than Tuesday's, what with the monsoons and the outdoor location and all. And they ended up getting a TON of really good, really funny, really heartwarming footage of actual people, so I very much doubt I'll end up in the final spot.

If I do, it will be pretty embarrassing because I didn't get a lot of direction and I was going off the audition scenario in which I was unable to lift this giant weight, which represented how much weight this woman lost. (117 lbs! In a really, really big and awkward steamer trunk!) They suggested I be a little less New York aesthete and a little more midwestern dude. Anyway, once I got it, I would have liked another shot at that damned trunk.

At least I got to actually go on and do some acting. Only two of the five of us did, and my two friends from the other shoot days didn't. But after I did my thing it was 6 or 7 hours of sitting around, interrupted by probably the best crafts services meal I've ever had. (Just about one of the best lunches I've ever had, actually.) Anyway, it was ironic that the dozens of extras worked WAY harder than most of the principals.

While I was there I got a call to put me on hold for one of the auditions earlier this week. It was a really fun one that I worked hard on, so that's satisfying. It would involve travel, but to nowhere particularly glamorous. Hope I get it.
