I got a call today from the writer of the film “19 Doors”. I had auditioned for her in the latter part of 2007. I sadly didn’t get the part as they felt I looked to “young” for the part. Still, I must have made an impression on her.

Today while I was working (putting down 4 year olds for a nap) my cell phone vibrated at my hip. I couldn’t answer (I was putting 4 year olds down for a nap after all) so I let it go to voice mail. A few minutes later it rang again (still working) so it went to voice mail again. A few hours later, when I was done for the day I saw that one of the missed calls was from home and the other from a number I didn’t know. I called home first.

My mom told me I had gotten a call from the lady I had auditioned for “19 Doors” about some film festival and that she sounded very excited and wanted to know what I was doing and so on. I told my mom I would get the voice mail and go from there. She explained how they were taking part in the 48 Hour Pittsburgh Film Project and if I would be available on Saturday. I called back (because of course I am) and left a message.

About an hour later I heard back from her and she gave me the details, if they needed me they would let me know by around 6:30 this evening. Well, they do and tomorrow I will be shooting my first film. Non-paying, independent but still cool.

To find out more about all this here are some links. I will be sure to keep you all updated.
