I've been feeling amped up lately. Like things are going to start happening. Like anything could happen. Like 2010 might be a big year for my career. So I might as well start blogging about it....might be interesting to look back on once things start taking off - fingers crossed!
Auditioned for a film today, called Beginners, written and directed by Mike Mills. He is best known for his film Thumbsucker and the blogs seem to be excited about his next film. Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer are starring. I was auditioning to be the girlfriend of a friend of Ewan's character. The audition was improvised - there was a loose script/scenario given and then we just went from there. It seems like this is the direction a lot of films are being taken. I mean, who knows if the improvising will actually happen when they shoot - they might go back to the script - but it was fun.
And that's the thing: It was fun. I am realizing more and more that sometimes I just have to acknowledge that I had fun during the audition and that that is lucky enough. This is a tough, tough business and chances are I'm not going to book most of the things I go in on. But just having the chance to get in the room, doing what I love - even for a moment, even for the audition - is pretty darn lucky. This "acting thing" is most definitely about the journey - and who knows where I'll end up - but I am sure as hell enjoying the ride.
