picking up

Audience work is nothing to sneeze at. Professional clappers, as a fellow audience member said. Totally true. Tomorrow have a wedding scene to do, BG work. Early call, 7:15 AM. Sheesh. That means I am out the door no later than 6:15 for a train, 6:30 for a taxi. It will be early enough for very little traffic, so the ride could be ten minutes long.

Boardwalk Empire finally called. I am beyond psyched. After two reschedules, the production finalized a film date. We had an afternoon call time, around 3 pm, and we were put through the process of getting our wardrobe, accessories and hair done. When the look was put together, along with a fabulous yet prim wide brimmed hat, it was...well, amazing. It was pretty organized, and we were fed as we waited for the sun to set before we finally got called onto the set. The set builders did a wonderful job. There was even sand to emulate the beach at the boardwalk, and for a minute I could smell the salty ocean air. We were positioned and we did take after take of simply walking and walking, strolling and enjoying the scenery, circa 1921.

Tomorrow I play a 'curvy' wedding guest YAY! Getting transportation for that, am thankful. Then there is the gig I got the confirmation on today for Saturday, for a re-enactment. I am to play a woman who gets caught up in a flood and has a younger man save her from drowning/being swept away. And the interesting news is that the young man who did the saving will be there to play himself, so I am wondering if he is going to be paid handsomely for this.

Thursday I go-see for a webseries. Friday a possible audience gig. Saturday is the re-enactment. Then Monday an audition for another webseries. Tuesday back at Boardwalk Empire. LOVING IT!
