(no subject)
I'm holding auditions tomorrow at noon in the basement of Jonsson (if anyone is interested). I will be in control of my own production. You have no idea how long I've wanted this. It's difficult going from actor to writer/director. The subject matter, not just the interpretation, is mine. It's my message. My voice. My words. My vision. I'm not doing this for a grade; I'm doing it for me to prove to myself that I can. I'm taking risks. I'm creating art for art's sake, not just listening to my professors talk about it. What's even greater is that people have read my script and like it.
A few Facebook messages:
"AUTUMN, I think it's awesome, i don't know if you've already held auditions but i'm definately interested in doing the husband"
"the last thing i would ever want to do is use our friendship to sway your casting judgement...blink...but i would work brilliantly"
People want to be in my play! I was so scared. Showing it to anyone, even someone so close as Erka, was difficult. That damn seventeen page script took so much to write. It wasn't even the writing so much as getting over the fear of failure. I would just stare at a blank screen for hours. I submitted an outline of the script in early July, and my working draft wasn't finished until about a week ago. It's so short though. If I didn't absolutely love an idea, it got thrown out, so I'm looking at a thirty minute show. That's okay. Quality over quantity, yes? Besides, a short play means less rehearsal time, and I can't take too much time off work because...
TODAY WAS MY FIRST DAY AS A BARTENDER! WOO!
Life is good.
