Hello Film

Even though I hadn’t acted in a long time, I didn’t sweat too much when I got my first two film auditions on short notice in the middle of midterms last week.  I figured acting was like riding a bike.

Yeah… turns out I was wrong about the bike thing. I was a hot mess during my first audition, and still really shaky during the second.  I came home frustrated, ate a half-pound bag of M&Ms, started readingMeisner and hoped for the best.

Hoping worked- I got a call back for the second film.  I got old school with it.  Read the script, wrote a life story for my character and the characters in her past.  I decided I was waiting at a gas station because my boyfriend had just kicked me out- so I was emotionally exhausted, not fond of guys and stuck.

I met the actor I was reading with while waiting.  He was chill.  In the audition I got into character easily and was really fed up, but the actor was so unexpected.  I tried not to be charmed as he tried to pick me up.  We really weren’t the two people who’d met in the waiting room earlier.  It was such a real moment.

Like the cherry on top, I got a call this weekend and huzzah- I am officially India in Yvonne & Clyde!  First film role, here we go…
