Theater Audition/48 Hour Movie

Yesterday morning I auditioned for a production of A.R. Gurney's "Post Mortem" in Los Angeles and the best part of the show is that the play runs in Los Angeles for 3 months and then goes on a tour to Germany, France, and the UK! I would love an all expense paid trip and a chance to perform in Europe at the beginning of 2008! :) I really hope I get it.

After my audition I went to help a friend of a friend as a production assistant on a film project for a 48 hour film competition. It is sponsored by a credit card company and this production team is one of the finalists so they have to make a 3 minute short in 48 hours.

I met a lot of really cool people and I learned a lot about being a crew member. Not only did I PA, I worked with two other PAs to set one of the location rooms so I had experience as a Set Dresser. I helped change up a Jib Camera, which makes me a Grip, and I learned how to coil a cord during the wrapping of a room as an Electrician would. That's the fun of working on independent films: everyone pitches in with anything that needs to be done, even if it isn't in their job description.

All in all it was a really fun, successful, exhausting day:)
