AUDITIONS: ROUND ONE

Today marks Day One of auditions for IceBreaker. There are 12 auditions scheduled for today, 24 scheduled for tomorrow, and who knows how many for next weekend. We've received many submissions thus far with more coming in every day.

This project has been in existence for nearly two years now, the screenplay has been finished for over a year, and since then, I can't count how many times Nick and I have gone through the script. Reading it, timing it, tweaking it, loving it, hating it. We've had these characters in our brains for a long time, but now actors will be performing scenes that were previously just words on a page. Talk about a big step in the right direction...

Judging by the amount of submissions we've received thus far, and considering the amount of talent that is being drawn to this project, it's safe to assume that Nick and I will have some very difficult decisions to make down the road. But at least we're in a position to be making these decisions. One year ago we were in no position to even consider casting - there was simply too much work left to do - but now we're moving forward, and holy shit.

It is SO on.
