Organising Actors

Organising my actors has been very difficult. Due to the fact that all the communication is having to be done through email. I had four actors willing to play the Grim Reaper, and two actors willing to play Nathan.

The Grim Reaper

Ben Mansfield

Ben Mansfield fit the role of the Grim Reaper very well, and I was quite eager to work with him. However due to his religious stand point, he could not continue on with the project. I sent him four emails. 

Andy Turner

Andrew was my number one choice for the role of the Grim Reaper. His showreel was impressive and I thought he would of fit the character well. However, despite interest in the film, Andy had to drop out due to a busy calendar over the time I was needing to film. I sent him seven emails.

Peter Long

Peter Long is the actor I have chosen to play the role of the Grim Reaper. He sent me an video audition and I was really happy with it, and I think he'll fit the role nicely. I'm looking forward to working with him. I've sent him over twenty emails.

Ronan Lumb

Ronan originally applied for the role of the Grim Reaper. He sent me a video audition and I liked it quite a lot, however I chose to go with Peter Long. However due to a change of circumstances, I have decided to ask Ronan if he is interested in playing the role of Nathan. I'm still waiting on a reply, but I'm sure he'll be interested. I have sent him over twenty emails so far.

Nathan

Joshua Gould

Joshua was my first choice for Nathan. I actually sent the listing hoping that he would respond. He was really interested in the film, and I thought he was going to be in it. Then he never replied, and it's been over a month now and I still haven't heard anything. It's a shame. I sent Josh five emails.

Jack Galer

Jack Galer was my second choice for the role of Nathan, however he's made things a little bit difficult. I had to change my filming dates for him and he is no longer responding. Because of this, I have decided to uncast him. I have sent Jack over twenty emails.

Reflective Comment:

Working with actors has been hard. I think the actual filming will also be difficult. But I know that the payoff will be worth it. Also, it's experience that I am going to need if I am going to work in media.
