Auditions: Day 2

Another 26 actors auditioned for us on the second day of auditions. If I could, I'd cast all 52 men and women who have auditioned thus far. What a pleasant surprise it's been to see so many talented Minnesota, Wisconsin, and LA actors. Of course, as an actor myself, it's a little intimidating.

Notification will be sent shortly to all actors selected for call-backs. I have a feeling we will have some difficult casting decisions to make, but that's a good thing. I can't wait to have everybody in place.

Auditions: Day 1

Twenty-six actors came in to audition for Horror House on Monday. I can truthfully say there weren't any untalented actors in the group. That amazes me, because, when calling people in based only on headshots and resumes, you're bound to get some stinkers. Not this night, though. Every actor brought something unique to the table and all proved capable of bringing to life conjured characters.

Does that mean all will be invited to callbacks? Unfortunately, no. Talent is only one piece of the puzzle in getting cast in a movie. There are many intangibles, many of which can't even be pinpointed. Sometimes it just boils down to a gut feeling shared by the majority of the casting directors. Whatever the case may be, those not called back should rest assured it was not because of lack of talent.

One more day of first-round auditions coming up, and then the difficult call-back decisions will be made.
