This is what I just posted on the Somesuch-Whatnot group. Reposted here to get the word out, as I’ll be out of touch for a goodly bit, it seems.
…it shall be quite a long while before I post again with anything more than a hit and run, methinks.
Today was the last day of our first casting sessions for the feature film I’m casting.
Yesterday, I was asked to provide services as casting consultant for a short film by the end of this week. I have a tape, a script, and a list of roles and candidates for them. I need to give my assessment by week’s end.
Tomorrow morning I start my job with Fox for the Brady reality show. Four weeks of work on that, then six weeks on with Project X. That’s ten solid weeks of casting work, in an office, in Burbank.
Oh… and today, I was approached at IFP West (where we were doing our casting sessions) by a director who is having trouble casting a role for her feature film. She wants my help.
We have callbacks for this feature on Friday (so, I have that day off from Brady) and then my job will be done. Unless they bring me on to help cast bit parts later, which I would gladly do, as time permits.
My book is nowhere near done, though I do have a few chapters out for proofing (thanks, somesuchers… especially Jamie, the fastest proofer in the USA). I haven’t yet listened to the Hollywood Happy Hour audio files in order to determine which clips will make it to the Best Of CD we’re supposedly fashioning during hiatus. [So, if anyone wants to listen to them and email me some feedback, I’d sure love to read it.] Oh, and the film festival I co-founded has put out its call for entries. I am both the location for entry deliveries and the screener wrangler.
I am now, officially, booked out of my brain.
And I love it.
I’ll miss the daily (or so) contact with y’all, but I will also be thinking of you all very regularly (despite lack of contact). Please know that I love you all and thank you for the overwhelming support you’ve not only provided ME but that I’ve witnessed you providing to one another, time and again.
You are what family means.
Thank you for teaching me that.
And with that… I say…
“Woo Hoo!!”
and
“Tee hee.”
😉
XXOO
-Bon.
Really not much else to say in the Blog either. Just… wow. I’m so totally living my dreams I can’t even stand it! Pretty freekin’ cool. Thanks, Mom.
