Now it's a week since the last audition and I knew by Monday morning that I hadn't gotten the gig. Then, on Wednesday, over lunch with a fellow actress, I found out the "husband" cast for the role was quite young, so that pretty much nailed the coffin for me. I still don't understand why they asked to see actresses in the 40-60 age range for that commercial.
An email came to all of us who participated in a recent shoot (that Alameda warehouse day), apologizing for the fact that checks have not been received by anyone on the project yet, not even the casting agent/handler over a month later. This, dear friends, is why I am glad to have so many other skills. No way can one support oneself as an actor and live in the sometimes lovely Bay Area, unless one is already a name.
Today, at a party, I read a short piece I wrote during the filming of the unfinished short, Cahiers du Cinema. Let me know if you'd like to read it and I can send it to you offline.
Looking forward to my S.F. shoot this week. I will need most of the day prior to prepare, as my character will be a real and complex character I have to get into, then I am to spend a long, long day in the role.
