Audition
I auditioned for the dark humoured
student film
Meet the Gacys
at the USC Zemeckis building on Figueroa.
Project producer
Eric Strum
brought me back to the back studio into which they'd had to move from the front.
I was surprised that the director asked after my Super Bowl commercial, as well as a few other projects and such, as well as having me run the scene of sides thrice.
Being a dry, throw-away delivery style of comedy, I'd memorized the lines being used for the audition
(as technically I'd been requested to do).
Amusingly enough, during the first go-through, the girl at my left script-reading the opposite character's lines said the next line after my final line.
I glanced at my imaginary son at my right and said in the same character dead-pan delivery, "I'm sorry, but that's all the sides I received..."
I was informed that there'd be a rehearsal the following Monday, then the shoot would be Monday the 18th.
As Eric walked back out with me to bring in the next person, he told me that I'd be notified within 72 hours.
The next day I heard from Michael Subjack, the director of
Computer Love
on which I'd worked back in February, that it would be screened Monday April 18th.
I had to convey if I were cast in the USC film, it would be highly unlikely I could attend the actual screening.
