Actors

Yesterday was a pretty easy day of school. The cool thing was that we got to meet some of our actors. I met one of mine, and I'll meet the other on Monday. The one I met already, J.T. is very cool and seems really easy to work with. I have two guy actors, which is pretty cool, since in previous years, they were at a serious loss of guys to be in the movies. I'm excited to meet my other actor on Monday. It should be fun. They're from the BFA theater program, so they're really excited about being in our films, just as much as we are to direct them.

Today I started my production design homework, which is creating a prop for this character. She's a punk rocker in the '80s, so I have this whole back story for her that she doesn't have a home, and travels around the country staying with her friends. So my prop is this pillow case that she uses to keep her clothes in while she travels. I got a white pillow case, and to make it look used, I went outside and rolled it in the dirt and stomped on it. Which was pretty incredible. I have the best homework.

I also made an anarchy sign patch and I'm making some more tomorrow, which I'll attach to the pillow case with safety pins. I'm pretty stoked. Oh, and I'm putting a shoelace in to look like a drawstring! Cool.

I also went shopping for my rock star wardrobe today. We perform Friday and I'm super excited. One of these nights, my roommates and I are gonna dress up and have a dress rehearsal. Should be incredibly awesome.

That's all for now. I'm attempting to bake bread. Wish me luck.
