Character List

I apologize for taking so long to post the list you've all been waiting for. Catherine and Sarah have been really busy making calls and sending out scripts and forms to everyone involved. I have gotten caught up in all of the excitement myself, and only now am I taking the time to let you all know who gets to play which part in the film. This isn't a complete list; only the Cedar City roles are listed here. There are a few actors who will be filming only in Salt Lake City. (You know who you are.)
Anyway, here's the final list:

If you got a call from Catherine or Sarah and you're not on this list, don't despair! These are just the speaking parts. There are still lots of people who will play students and teachers in classrooms and hallways. I'll be sending out emails to all of you with the specific days that you'll be needed for filming.

Also, everyone is still welcome to come and be an extra high school student on set. Tell your friends and neighbors who are interested to email me, Avis Hart, at nerdsquared@gmail.com. Then I can send them all of the necessary information. Thanks!

Audition Update

Thanks to everyone who helped make the Cedar City auditions a success! Sarah and Catherine said they were pleased with the quality of auditioners and the enthusiasm so many of them brought to the project. They expressed regret that they don't have more roles for those who auditioned so well but don't fit any parts. They are reviewing all the audition videos and questionnaires and should be making their final phone calls on Monday.

Audition forms

Every actor or extra in the film will need to fill out an actor release form and questionnaire. Also, those actors and extras who will be younger than 18 as of June 27, 2005 will need to fill out a parental consent form. These forms will be available at the audition on Friday, but we would be happy to email them to you if you'd like to show up with them already filled out. Once again, the email is nerdsquared@gmail.com.

Also, we will be having a few auditions on Saturday morning for people who absolutely can't fit the Friday evening one into their schedules. Come to ConfiDance at 10 am on Saturday, May 21st if you are one of these busy people.

SEE YOU FRIDAY!
