So yesterday was like the mother of all casting calls for those of us in Semester 1. On Wednesday we were able to formulate a pretty solid process on handling the actors, so yesterday we had somewhat of a game plan. Once we took over the BDFI producer bullpen we were locked down for the day. We started at 2:00pm and went until 9:30pm. It felt great to get a chance to direct professional actors. After Joel gave me some pointers I was able to really get the response that I was looking for them. I really enjoyed working with my fellow classmates yesterday. By the end of the night we were all laughs. This casting experience has really quelled my fears of working with semi/pro actors. I know that I’ll be able to do my job on set with confidence. We still have more casting auditions this week and then our first shoot on Saturday!
