Commitment

We traveled back home last weekend to attend my brother's wedding. It was odd to arrive in the Atlanta airport as the first leg of the trip (i.e. not the end). On the drive up to my in-laws' house, we both had the feelings of confirmation that Atlanta is definitely not where we're supposed to be right now. Overall, the weekend was nice. We visited with all of the family and some friends, and it was great to see my niece again. Though the wedding day itself was a little stressful with helping my brother try to secure last minute necessities and make arrangements, it was still a nice occasion and an emotional one for a number of reasons. Now, we're back and a little tired, but catching up.

As a result of my meetings, I signed with KSA's commercial department. The two agents and two assistants were all very nice people. I chose to sign with them because of their reputation as a solid department, but mainly becuase I just felt more comfortable with them. They also remind me a little of my agents in Atlanta, with whom I had a great working relationship. I'm doing some drop-offs today and will need to get some postcards and additional headshots printed up.

I had to switch my days at the casting director's office in order to accomodate this month's acting class on Friday afternoons. As a result, I ran the camera in a producers session last week. Generally, casting for supporting roles on television starts with a pre-read for the casting director. The casting director brings some of those people in again for the call-back, which now involves producers, writers and possibly the director. Being in this session allowed me to see the interaction between the CD and the producers, the quality of the talent brought back, and to hear the selection process. I still don't know who was ultimately cast, but got a better sense of what they were looking to hire.
