Short film. All Cast! Great work everyone.
In this case the director was looking for talent who could listen and take direction well, even if it wasn't the exact emotions he was looking for for his film.
Always listen to that direction!

Special Note about workshops
*The presence of a casting director at a workshop is neither a guarantee nor a promise of employment. The intent of the class is solely educational. Attending a workshop is not a way to obtain employment as an actor. Such contact as you may have with a casting director at a workshop does not always result in any further contact with that casting director. The casting director has insight into the audition process. It is highly recommended that active working professional actors should be in a class at least once a week to maintain sharpness and skill improvement. Take various workshops and classes to gain the most knowledge in your career.
