The Actress

After a long and fruitless search, I finally found some candidates for the lead female role in my short film. You'd think I was casting "Cleopatra" or something.

I thin all three women are sufficiently different...yes, I said three...that they will bring something different to the audition. I'll be having them read with Luis, the lead actor.

I'm anxious to see who will come across better. I stripped the character of ethnicity having originally created her as Anglo. Of the three that are reading for her, one is Hispanic and one is African-American.

This has been a hard part to cast. I hope other female parts won't be this difficult.
