Marching Band

Today we had a meeting with the director of the S. High School Marching Band, talking to him about getting in the studio and scheduling time to get down for the shoot next semester. It was nice, though I spent most of the time feeling self conscious about my disgustingly bad hat hair. Very professional.
A, [...]

Contacting crew

I fired off an email after the meeting, asking everyone to please email me back and tell me specifically what they’re interested in doing with the movie. This serves a twofold purpose.
One is that now I have a list together (sort of) of everyone who came to the meeting and I can talk to Bob [...]

Crew Meetings!

So we had a crew meeting today. Our director and lighting/art direction guys were there, M and S, as was our lead actor! I finally got to meet him, he was a nice enough guy though he seemed rather nervous about the fact that he’s been cast as the LEAD ACTOR. He’s not acted in [...]

Callback stress

Two in one day! This is madness, Keener! O you silly, sick Keener, you.
Anyway. So, after I post I email everyone about the crew meeting on my list, and call Bob.
“You’ve started calling our callback people, right?”
Now, the callbacks aren’t until the week after next, so I’ve been atypically putting it off, for the time [...]

Crew meeting

Silly, sick Keener has been forgetful lately. We’ve got a list together, of people to call for various reasons, we’ve got a crew meeting next Monday, audition callbacks and Justin’s calling the people we decided not to see again, and while I have managed to remember to call the people on my list, I have [...]

Shamefaced and contrite

So I missed my meeting with Bob today. Why? My own fault. I have mono and I’m trying hard to still do school, etc and keep on top of everything, not to mention I’m still trying to have a social life too. So I’m sick and tired, trying to act like I’m not and I [...]

Hiring crew

Okay, I wrote a big post and it got deleted. Here’s version 2.0 for you guys.
So I went to Bob’s office today for a few minutes and we discussed the things we have upcoming. The next task on the list is to hire additional crew. See, what’s happening is that we already have a professional [...]

Auditions and upcoming tasks

So, I’m sure you’re all wondering how auditions went. Well…I’m going to avoid saying much yet since Bob and I haven’t met with our other guy to discuss things but needless to say they were good and interesting, and there’s a lot of talent where I live. We’re going to have callbacks probably, to ask [...]

Auditions!

Well, auditions start tonight. We’re going to be auditioning six choirs, so far. What we’ll be looking for is how well they sing, obviously, their overall ability to harmonize and how good their vocal control is, and of course, their overall look and feel, how well we’d think they’d fit in with what we have [...]

If life is a three ring circus, I must be the clown

So I’ve got some news! We officially have an official business line. Let me tell you, it was a process getting it. I went to Sprint, hoping that they’d be able to use my old phone to set up a pay-as-you-go contract with me on it. The answer was a quick ‘no’, so I ended [...]
