FAQ’s:
WHEN will it
shoot?
• It is
anticipated this project will shoot in July or August. A schedule is still in the
making.
WHERE will it
shoot?
• Here in Utah,
along the Wasatch Front.
What is the
PURPOSE / Where will it be used or seen?
• This project is
for the San Diego Mormon Battalion Visitor's Center. The new presentation will
launch in November. (...and it will be VERY COOL!)
Do you need
any other EXTRAS or ACTORS?
• Yes. More
information about this will follow. Please be patient and wait for the
invitation before sending in your resume.
• Recommend applicants
NOT wait until the last minute to submit an audition. (What if
you have trouble with the file? What if the DVD is corrupt? What if it gets
lost in the mail? Etc.)
• Please make sure your SOUND
and LIGHTING are such that they can CLEARLY see and hear
you.
• Recommend recording your
Audition from about the chest, upward. If you’d like to back out for your song
or instrumental performance, that’s fine. But for your monologue, please get
close enough that they can see your expressions.
• Do NOT simply READ your monologue! They are looking for a GENUINE INTERPRETATION and CONNECTION. Be REAL!
