Long overdue update
Wow, has it really almost been a year since my last post?!?! Well for everyone that follows this (I'm talking to you Mom), here is a long overdue update:
- Unit 30, the short film I wrote/directed/acted in is almost done! It basically is done, we're just having issues with the composed music sounding the same on every T.V./format it is played on. I'm actually going to watch the hopefully finished short tonight. If you would like to learn more about Unit 30, check here.
- Remember the short film I went to Vermont to shoot? Of course you do Mom, but just in case you don't, it was called Dead Creek and you can read a recap and see some onset photos of my experience here. Dead Creek received an amazing review on the Dystopia Magazine website. The review was done by Carol Sullivan and we couldn't have asked for a more glowing review or kinder words. To read the full review go here and to learn more about Dead Creek, go here
-I am also starting to work on a new short. Yes, Mom, the one we talked about the other day. Because the short is kind of high concept, I thought it would be helpful to the actors involved to create a small "trailer" that explains what the short is about. I should have the trailer done by this weekend, I will make sure to post it here when it's completed.
-Last week I had a callback for a Domino's commercial. The initial audition went great, and not to toot my own horn, but *toot toot*! I kind of figured I would get a callback for it. When I went into the room for the callback, I could tell that they just weren't feeling me and that I wasn't going to book it. "Wow Taryn, thanks for the story about NOT booking something" you may be saying to yourself right about now. The reason I thought I would mention this, because as my avid reader knows (again, looking at you Mom) I normally don't mention my auditions, is because when I got to the callback, it was like the all stars of commercial acting were all called back. Everywhere I looked I saw people I recognized from numerous commercials. It was at that point that I realized two things: 1). Wow, if they want a familiar face, I am so not booking this. And 2). Wow, that's really cool that I got called back along with all of these actors who work all the time. It's call backs like that that you don't mind not booking.
Okay, I'm making it a point to try to post stuff here more often, so check back soon for more updates!
