Actress Wanted, Apply Within

It’s been a busy week so far. Aside from wrestling with this program (only because of Vista compatibility issues), there’s been a lot to do, including script breakdowns, scheduling, and feedback meetings with writers.

There’s still a lot of work to do on Avoiding Christian Bale, and it’s amazing to see that we’ve had over 1,000 views of the trailer already, despite only really spreading the word to friends, colleagues and people involved with the production. Hopefully this will continue and we can build up a great buzz on the film.

The big thing this week for us at Tornado was the announcement of the open auditions for the role of ‘Janey’ in ‘Summertime’, the musical film that we plan to shoot in the summer. In the story, Janey is about to turn 30 and has three kids. The character that Neil has conjured up is the type I imagine many actresses would love to play – she has depth and personality, and faces real challenges throughout her journey. The starring role.

If you’re an actress who might fit the bill (or you know someone who might be), then sign up through the Tornado web site, and see the Facebook event here. Nia can organise your audition time. Don’t worry if you’ve never acted (or sung) in a film before – if you believe in your ability then we want to hear from you.

Lots of workshops/auditions over the weekend, so the work will continue on into next week.
