Only 23 Hours left in our Crowd Funding campaign on Sponsume.com So far we’ve raised nothing... Well it was worth a shot maybe someone actually read the script or my eBook and it will help it get made into a movie further down the line.
Even if it fails.
The audition was a bit of a disaster, nothing to do with the actors. As I was going out I did a last minute check and realised that I didn’t have my wallet on me. I usually leave it in my pocket, but I’d been shopping so I’d left it in my jack pocket, but it wasn’t there. I looked for it everywhere I could think of but, I didn’t find it. So I had to go out without debit card, credit cards, unlimited Cineworld or money.
I did have 50p and my Oyster card. I arranged with my friend and co-producer to get to The Dublin Castle on time and meet with the actors. I’ve known Mick for years. One of the characters in Pub Crawl movie was based on him. He was a producer on
the movie, so I expected Mick would be there. I had spoken to him twice that morning.
I got into to Camden ten minutes late and got a call from an actor waiting at the bar. No Mick, still haven’t heard from him. He didn’t show up.
What else could go wrong?
The last timeI used The Dublin Castle for auditions for Pub Crawl movie, seemed to work OK. I think we had a great cast. I had set the time for 11am, but found out the bar didn’t open until 12pm. So this time I had set the time for the auditions for 12 noon.
When I got there the Pub was closed. It didn’t open until 1pm, they had some sort of meeting. Yes, I know I should have checked.
So out of thirty actors six showed up and one Magda had read the script three years ago when it got optioned by Trudie Styler’s company Xingu. Magda really wanted to play Kate and I feel she is the best one for it. She is also helping with asking some of her actor friends to read in the script reading.
Later I met with Leigh and Tricia, who where both in Pub Crawl movie. Leigh played Ray and Tricia played Nicky. I convinced Tricia that the part of Julie in Megachrist would be great for her and Leigh likes the Devil part that I wrote as the last scene of the movie.
It turns out that Tricia now runs a talent agency, so she is helping Magda with getting more actors for the shoot. Which should still go ahead on the 14th October, two days before my birthday.
