Yes...I'm still hoping to make my film.  I hit a lull moment when I realised all the legalities that come with making a film but with my Aunty's help things are moving forward again.

 

So the next step was contacting actors via a website known as StarNow.  I contacted a whole bunch of them, explaining that I'm a first time film maker, all roles are unpaid, yadda, yadda, yadda.

 

To my surprise, some of them (not all) got back to me pretty sharpish, saying they would love to act in it and were generally 'very keen'.

 

Obviously i was chuffed to hear this, so i replied back asking for their e-mail address so i can send them a synopsis and a portion of the script to read through....and i've had nothing back! Its been about 4 days now and nadda.

 

The weird thing is that its happened with everyone thats initially replied.

 

What should I do? Contact them again? I would find that odd, seeing as they are up for working for free, would it make me too pushy? Or are they being Diva actors and expect me to deliver the script to their doors?

 

*grumble, grumble*

Its not direct emails, i contact them through the website and they reply through the site. I check the site every 5 minutes and nuffink! Although i do get a reminder email send to me but still nuffink!

 

Maybe its the way i've worded my messages?

Well here's a response from one of them (some parts have been edited for privacy reasons):

 

Hi David

Thank you for your message. You sound so sexy.

 
It sounds like an interesting project. I'm trying to get as much experience as possible in front of the camera so would very much like to be involved.

I look forward to hearing more about the film and the part you have in mind. 

Best wishes
Kate Middleton.


Doesn't that sound like someone who would want me to have their e-mail address so i can send them my poxy script?

Seriously.. how quickly did they respond to the first query?

 

One was straight away, to which i replied straight away....then nothing.

 

Two were the following day, to which i've also replied...and nothing.

 

Four have yet to reply at all

 

 

Should i just be patient?

I don't see you've got anything to lose by chasing them up again Rawks.     They're not Brad and Angelina... if they're willing to work for nothing, they're probably looking for experience/exposure anyway.    Just don't sound too keen....just ask if they still want to be considered, because if they do you'll tell Johnny Depp to stop bothering you.
