A post for posting's sake
I moved to LA a little while back to work on a new film project. I am production manager, creative editor, and a casting director of sorts. Translation: I have to deal with idiots who dream of making it as actors. Unfortunately no one in their lives told them they can barely read let alone feign any emotion. The concept of inflection while speaking is foreign to them all. Oh how I long for a 5th grader to read the script, cause I'd probably be more impressed.
Its times like this I wonder how people make it this far in life. These are fucking adults who claim to do this for a living. You'd think practicing their craft would allow them to get better.
Anyways, the preliminary auditions are out of the way and these are technically the worst...I can't wait for the next couple weeks while we filter out all the shit and maybe I get to see some semi-competent people.
Other than that, I now hate everything else about this movie. I am in charge of product placement, as well as scheduling and budgeting, which means I've read the script some 50-odd times. Bright side is, I get to read it more. Yay me! What started as a tolerable script is now just an utter piece of crap. Its kinda like how I felt about the movie Speed. I kinda liked it the first time I saw it, and then progressively hated it more and more with each subsequent viewing.
You stay classy San Diego
