So tonight I am doing a casting call for a short movie. It should be interesting. I have never done one before, but it seems like a process that I could probably get into on a regular basis.

I sent out the notice a week ago, and the response has overall been good, though some people cannot read that I am casting all males in speaking roles. Apparently, there are more female actors here than there are male ones. That's okay though, it gives me insight for writing new scripts in the future...I think I will make them heavily female based in the future.

The call is for a script that i did not write (nor do I think I would ever have written) The script is okay, however I like scripts that require more from a viewer. I think I have paid too much attention to Orsen Welles thought pattern. A script is only as good as the characters conflicts...this script could have used a little more in my opinion, but it still has some and is basic enough that we should be able to film it in a short timeframe. I guess that is the plus side of it.

The script was chosen from the scriptwriting class I was in. The writer pretty much pleaded to get it done and I was kind of blaise on mine, I want mine done but I want complete creative control on mine. I don't think that the writer of this script will have complete control...other than the written part of it that is.

If he gets directing control I will be shocked...truly I will be. So far no one in the film directing class has taken charge other than myself, a question is asked in class and no one ever answers except for me...I don't know how any of them expect to be a director is they cannot take control of a question even. I try to sit back and let others answer...but they just don't. I have pretty much stepped forward everytime...so I don't get the director's charge i will be annoyed.

I just over halfway done my whole program and I am still sitting with 4.+ GPA so that is the main thing in the end isn't it?
