Been a while since the last update, and I apologize for that. Don’t think we haven’t been doing anything though. We have been busy scouting, calling, planning, meeting, and today we had our final auditions.
Yep, we finally have all the actors we need to shoot Tuckerman, and the shooting starts next Saturday. We had decided in our production meeting this afternoon that we would start shooting even if we did not get all the actors we were looking for. We have a lot of stuff to shoot and a short time to get it done, and we had enough actors to get some of the parts shot, so we were going to run on faith that we would find the right people to play the parts. As fate would have it, everything has been working out nicely.
Thank you very very much to all the people that came to the auditions, and especially to the parents that support their chidlrens dreams of acting. It takes a lot of courage to audition for a part in a movie, even for the experienced actors. Almost everyone that auditioned for Tuckerman, had never auditioned before, didn’t know what to expect, bravely walked out in front of the camera, and gave it their best shot. Everyone did such a good job that the selection process was very difficult. Lots of times we would say something like, “Oh that was so good, if we could just write in a part, …”, but that would change the story. Tuckerman is a good story. I’m anxious to see it told.
Jimmy is going to be calling folks, he’s probably called some already. We would like to have a get-together soon so everybody can meet each other. I know it’s a little out of order to start shooting before we have the get-together, but hey, we’re guerillas.
