Look in the Mirror
LITM Day Zero
The first entry in an on-going series blogging my experience on the independent feature film, “Look in the Mirror”
8 May 2009
On February 2, a little over three months ago, I auditioned for an untitled feature. The truth is that I can barely remember that audition. I read the scene three times, and it went fine, but there were 4 people in the room and it’s a blur in retrospect. I guess Jason and Brian where two of them. Jason and Brian and the guys who wrote Look in the Mirror and are producing and directing it. (It went from untitled, to The Whistler to Look in the Mirror.) The two other guys in the room … will I meet them again? Our first day of shooting centers around a large house party, with pool, barbecue and Nanna’s birthday. There ought to be room for them there, and if they come, it would help me feel better about the beginning.
Anyway, after Jason expressed interest in me, I became more curious about them — I needed to learn more about them because it was a large project we were talking about! So we met at a coffee shop on Beverly Blvd, and after a lovely 2-hour talk, I felt good about the project.
And now it’s about to start. The mental preparation is there. The hair is cut. And now my work is to sleep 7 hours, awake and prep, then schlep what needs to be schlepped to Calabasas, and then it begins!
