So, what is one of the most important aspects of any movie? The actors of course, and Ron and Justin is a movie that needs to have actors who can portray the complex emotions and range of characters. In films past (at least those that I have been involved with in my two years in my video class) we just pick actors from my school's theater department or just whoever is willing to act to play parts. Sometimes it works out well and others its more of, well, a face palm. That is why I decided, with the encouragement of my video teacher, to hold auditions for Ron and Justin.
For the past few weeks, I've been spreading the word of the film in my school, around my town, nearby school in my district, you get the idea. When I first started telling people about the project, it was just to my school's repertory theater class who seemed enthusiastic enough, but my video teacher told me to really find the perfect matches, I needed to extend my reach. So, here I am, trying my best to let the maximum number of people I can find know about my little film so I don't regret choosing the wrong person. I may find a hoard of thespians waiting to audition, or just a puddle in the lake I was searching. (Not my best analogy). I suppose I'll just find out in two weeks.
