Keep looking

Ok, It's Thursday morning. I've been crazy busy this week with lots of ZICO activity. ZICO, being the newest, hottest beverage on the market as well as my full-time non-acting job. Old-Skoolers call it a day job. Regardless, I've been fairly tied up with sales and marketing efforts for ZICO this week. I HAVE managed to get to a few auditions, one being my BLUEFLY.COM callback and the other being a CHARTER CABLE commercial.

To quote a few of my lines from ALOHA SAY THE PRETTY GIRLS..."I have to say this, and I'm sorry, but I have to make myself clear..." I will no longer be disclosing specific information about my auditions. I am very superstitious when it comes to booking jobs. Before I started blogging, I would never mention to ANYBODY that I had a callback in fear of the jinx. SINCE I've been blogging, I babble all day long about my first audition, first callback, second callback,blah blah, blah, and I haven't booked anything...SO...I may mention that I have an audition today, or something like that, but I will no longer include details and I ESPECIALLY won't mention callbacks until I've booked the DAMN JOB. Let's see if that changes my luck.

By the way I have an audition today....

I spent some time with Jeff at his studio last night. Jeff is my friend who is editing my film, BUZZING THE BUZZER. We are both learning alot from this little project. This is my first time producing and directing and Jeff is an assistant editor at OGILVY & MATHER and wants to improve his editing skills. I felt bad last night because Jeff went ahead this week and spent some time editing BUZZER on his own, and the stuff he came up with great, but it just didnt quite point us in the direction I wanted to go with the film, so we scratched most of it. I could tell he was a little frustrated, but I guess tha'ts another lesson to be learned. We eventually went back to where we left off last time and actually made some headway. There is a certain pace and rhythm that this film needs, so each edit, each cut is crucial to keep that pace intact as well as allow the rhythm to build. It's very much like a song, at least it's that way in my head. Sometimes its difficult to verbalize, and I dont quite know how to describe what I'm looking for. So, I have to keep looking until I find it.

ONWARD!
