On Sunday we had the first read through with the full cast present. Everything went very well. As usual I was running behind. I had to do some computer work before heading over which is what set me behind. I have a friend who is a dentist and I occasionally help him out. Yesterday I was helping him setup and configure his new router for his business. unfortunately I couldn’t remember what I did a few years ago and I kind of screwed things up. So I had come go back in early today before heading over to the Matthew’s for the read thru. I ended up getting there at 11:30, 30 minutes late. Whitney was still running behind so we couldn’t really get started anyway. By noon we were underway.
It got off to a rocky start but everything went well. I was really impressed by Loki. He was there auditioning for the role of Curtis on of the dayshifters. Originally Scott Kirfman was cast for the role but he had to drop out due to scheduling. I wasn’t sure how he was going to do because the part was for a California douche bag and Loki is British…. I think. It didn’t matter, he nailed it British accent and all. I also cast Erick Ramero as Ray. Erick and Loki played off each other every well.
Amanda Nutting, Melissa Dawn Smith and Laura Evans showed up to audition for the part of Priss. All three did very well but Melissa won the day. I still casted Amanda and Laura but for different parts.
After everything was all said and done we sat down and started working on the schedule. Filming will finally begin September 1st. Episode 1 should be released in January.
