The Audition that wasn't an Audition
More like an interview really.
I had an "audition" yesterday for a very artsy short film. It seems kind of cool. Very visual, low on dialogue, but with random characters mingling together. And you just know that there's some sort of social commentary in there somewhere. The director just wanted to meet people who might be interested. No prepared pieces or anything. Heck, he didn't even keep my resume and headshot. He said he wasn't keeping anything from anyone.
He went on for a bit about how he hadn't done anything video art since graduating from school and was happy that he had gotten a grant from SAW Video for new artists. Heh, I was kinda happy too until he said it wasn't paid work for the actors.
*Experience, experience, experience* I keep chanting in my head.
Since getting an agent I am now 3 for 2 - 3 auditions found on my own, 2 through my agent. She better catch up :p

That's nothing. I just spoke to an acquaintance who was cast to play the spongey part of the penis in an arthouse film. THAT'S experience.
