| From Anne Massey Casting: | Just wanted you to know .... your students are doing GREAT! Craig Leydecker auditioned earlier this week for a commercial, and booked it! He shoots tomorrow! Aaron Sauer auditioned for the same series of commercials; they booked him for today and he will also shoot tomorrow. So he landed a 2-day booking his first time out!

I have a film audition lined up for her for next week. So she's coming in to meet with Lee (the other agent/owner) tomorrow. And Justin Wolfe has come in, auditioned, and has met with both of us.

I just found out I got a speaking role in a 10 min. short film called "I go to war with everything that doesn't make sense in a bathtub". I went on the audition last weekend & was told they would make a decision within 48 hrs., so I had kinda written it off. but got an e-mail telling me they want me to be one of the kid's parents(but not Charles). Here's a note about it: | "I go to war with everything that doesn't make sense in a bathtub." is the story of Charles, a star middle school football player who has recently lost his mother to suicide. Charles is chased through nightmares by a shadowy figure that he begins to associate with a new African American teammate. Everyone around Charles thinks he is racist, but he is just clinically insane. This story brings into question racism in youth, and the expectation of adults to see it in every action that children take. Just wanted to let you know because if it wasn't for your coaching I wouldn't have landed it. I felt comfortable at the audtion & walked out feeling good about it. Thanks, you're the best.
