So I got a part in the film I auditioned for last weekend; the one about the Romans and Germanians fighting. Pretty cool so far. The title of the movie is called Saturnine. Not sure how they came up with that title. The only time I’ve ever heard those words uttered from anyone’s lips is when I heard about a band in Europe called The Saturnine.
I’ll be playing a farmer who is actually a Roman scout. It will challenge me, I think. What do I do? You’ll have to see that for yourself; don’t want to spoil the film for you. Whenever I go to a movie, I like for people to eat their popcorn, not throw it at me.
Auditioning for another film this Saturday. It’s entitled Pinkville. Oliver Stone’s directing it. I’m fairly excited; it’s the first ever Hollywood film where I’ll be auditioning.
From what I understand, there will be a lot of people there. So my question to you is how does one stand out apart from the crowd? My guess is to be as professional as you can and just see what happens. There are other ways, but they require strange choreography which I neither have the time or interest to rehearse.
My guess is that Saturnine comes from the Roman holiday of Saturnalia, which was essentially a chance to drink wine, feast a lot, and offer up sacrifices to the god Saturn. It got out of hand eventually and ended up with a pretty bad reputation. Of course, not knowing the plot, I have no idea whether this makes sense or not . . .
. . . have fun, though! And good luck with the other audition.
