"Another Harvest Moon" Casting News
So, I'm way behind in updating y'all about the attachments we've made for Another Harvest Moon. (I'm giddy. Seriously. Would you LOOK at this cast?!?)
Um, hi. Can you say, "I'd like to thank the Academy," folks? Well... SOMEONE is gonna be saying that, about this film. Wow! Wow! Wow!
For those of you hankerin' to get to read on the minor roles we still have to cast, please note a couple of things: The film is now 85% likely shooting in Harrisburg, PA (in the hospital they used for Girl, Interrupted). That means we'll do a rerelease of the breakdown and seek ONLY actors who are willing to work as Pennsylvania LOCAL HIRES. Or... we'll simply cast those roles out of PA altogether (paging Mike Lemon).
So, I know the original breakdown said we'd start prereads in LA next week but, until the other 15% of the 85%-likely-to-shoot-in-PA thing either comes together or doesn't, we're not moving forward with those auditions. So, hang in there, wouldja? More announcements to come! Yippee! I'm all kinds of blissed out!

Bon -I didn't drop the ball. I took it and ran. You can hire me for Harrisburg, I'd love to go home and work! I finished my film in 9 hours for the Mobiopera at OUTFEST and now OUTFEST wants it for official submission for next year! Yes, that is Emily Button - she finished working for me Thursday and then did Cricket Showcase for you on Tuesday - which I hear went well. Congrats.

Sweet mother of all that is good - you got Richard Schiff?!?
Man alive Bon, are you trying to kill me? I love the guy - I loved him as Toby Ziegler in "The West Wing", he's possibly my favourite of the characters (the "possibly" is because it is SUCH a stellar cast and show).
I mean would you just look at him? There's something about his eyes, and he has such a wise face, very expressive too. I laughed and cried with the other characters' actions and emotions, but with Toby, I seemed to feel them much more - there were more subtle nuances. A look, an inclination of the head and a softly spoken line... very, very good acting.
And you've hired him for one of your films. I mean when I scrolled down the page, I squeaked when I saw his picture there (It was like "Older lady, older lady, older lady... HEY! Richard Schiff!!!!").
This is what I get for not stopping by here more recently, isn't it? Do you meet with the actors, or is it more remote, you liaising via their agents? Because if you do see him - whether through work or otherwise, if you could see fit to let him know that there's an English girl who thinks he's a truly wonderful actor, I'd be much obliged ;-)
