Been pretty busy with work and some other things. In my spare time, I've been gathering ideas and storyboarding for a short film that I'm currently working on.
I'm hoping to start filming very soon!
It was tough finding a person willing to play the part; the main character in this story holds a mixture of strong emotions, and I needed an actor who could express those emotions clearly through physical expression. Luckily, one of my co-workers, Nick, is an aspiring actor who very much enjoys theatre. After approaching him with this project, he was more than happy to work with me.
One day at work, Nick wanted to perform a monologue from Macbeth that he once performed in an acting class; He wanted to give me an audition. It was during our break in the lunch room, and although I felt kind of odd about Nick performing something Shakespeare at work, I had to accept this strange opportunity because really, who else would voluntarily do this during my lunch break?
Nick nervously started out his first lines, but progressively dove deeper into his character. I was very surprised to see how much enthusiasm he had for the material, and how well he acted out the monologue. Honestly, you would look at Nick and not immediately expect this guy to pull off such a great monologue. He has a great talent and understanding for theatre, and I'm hoping that Nick will share those same qualities for his character in the short film we'll be making.
The short will be a character study about a man who takes a joke too seriously, and how he approaches his following actions.
