Pre-Production: Auditions (2)

We had set another audition date for monday, but no one expressed any interest in participating. One person only mailed me, and suggested he could audition on monday (yesterday), and so me and Sach met him in the media center and quickly let him read through some of the lines. He is a drama student and would do a good job, but without a female actress that means very little.

Caitlyn is definitly the heavier role, and the story's focus lies on her. It is so important to find a female actress, but we are running out of time. After the short audition, Sach and I took a trip to the school of Arts and spoke to the receptionist about reaching more drama students. She said if we mailed her the details of the production, they could pass it on to their students. I did that an hour or so later when I came home, but she is yet to reply and we have yet to receive any email from any possible actor.

We set our deadline to friday, and if we then still don't have an actress, I will fill in for the role of Caitlyn and my partner may play Adrian. This is no ideal situation at all and puts the production in a bad position. As the director I should not spend my time in front of the camera. 

Sach and I also edited some of the script today. We added dialogue over the montage scenes and improved and shortened the break up scene a little.
