Casting

  Okay so there may still be a lot of things for me to figure out, but I've officially secured my main actress. Just like in my portfolio project last year, I wanted to choose an actor with some sort of experience and one that I would be comfortable working with. This year I've decided to work with Yasemin Atesnak, a junior in the musical theatre and chorus program. After seeing her performances in school musicals such as Cats and Hair, playing major roles in both shows, I've seen her talents as a performer and know that she has a wide acting range. I've already reached out to her and she's told me she'd definitely be able to help me! The problem is finding male actors, which is a lot harder to come by than I thought. However, Yasemin has said that she should be able to hook me up with either Gianni Palmero or Michael Valladares, who are both in Musical Theatre as well, to play her co-star.

  With the deadline for the project approaching (3 weeks), I'm going to have to figure out a shooting schedule pretty soon. When we last spoke, Yasemin said that she didn't have any major conflicts, except for a Thespian competition which she will be coming back from today. Besides that, the only other conflict I can see coming up would be my work schedule, gross, so I'll have to try to figure days that work for Yasemin and I and either find covers or request those days off. It can be done! With that settled, I just have to finish and pump out this script before moving on. Oh boy.
