Maelfu wajitokeza kwenye Casting Call Boston

Maelfu na maelfu ya watu wanaotaka kuwa Extras katika sinema mpya ya Martin Scorsese, Ashecliffe, walijitokeza jana Boston University. Watu walianza kupanga foleni tangu saa 12 asubuhi!

Mimi nilifika saa 8:30 (2:30Pm). Walikuwa wanaingiza watu kama 300 kwa mpigo kwenye ukumbini. Tulipewa lecture kuhusu kazi ya Extra. Siku inaweza kuwa ndefu masaa 12 hadi 16, fanya kama mnavoambiwa. Fika saa uliyopangiwa etc. Walitaja na bei ya malipo, dola $100 (Masaa manane) kwa siku plus overtime, kwa wasio union. Watapiga sinema maeneo ya Boston, Medfield na Taunton, Massachusetts kuanzia Machi 6 hadi mwisho wa Juni.

Baada ya hapo, watu walipanga foleni nyingine na kutoa fomu na kipigwa picha. Weusi walikuwa wachache sana kulinganishwa na idadi ya wazungu. Najua wengi wa weusi waliotokea watapata nafasi kwenye hiyo filamu.

Kufika mezani niliwapa Acting resume na headshot. Niliulizwa kama nimewahi kuactin kama Nurse. Nikawaambia ndio, niliwahi kuacti Nurse Malika kaitika sinema, Maangamizi the Ancient One.

Kama tunavyosema kwenye dunia ya acting, 'Break a Leg'. Kama kuna mdau aliyeenda huko karibu mtoe experience yako katika hiyo Casting Call.

Mnaotaka kuwa katika sinema ya Hollywod hii ni nafasi yenu!

Kwa wadau wanaosoma habari nazoandika hapa kwenye blogu wanajua kuwa nimewahi kuzungumzia suala ya Open Casting Call. Katika sinema mara nyingi waigizaji wanaitwa kufanya audition kupitia kwa agent. Zingine zinakuwa wazi, yaani mtu yeyote anaruhusiwa kwenda.

Mwongozaji sinema maarufu, Martin Scorsese atakuwa hapa Boston anatengeneza sinema ambayo inaitwa Ashecliffe kuanzia mwezi Machi. Hadithi enyewe inatokana na kitabu cha Shutter Island. Nimekisoma na kwa kweli ni kizuri. Nafasi za weusi zipo nyingi lakini kama wasaidizi hapo hospitalini.

Jumamosi hii kutakuwa na Open Call. Kwa vile inatangazwa kila mahala mtegemee kusimama kwenye foleni ndefu, maana watu watatoka New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, New Hampshire etc. Sinema ya Scorsese si mchezo bwana! Halafu wanakuwa na bajeti kubwa za Hollywood.

Leonardo DiCaprio atacheza kama mhusika mkuu, Teddy Daniels. Ben Kingsley atacheza kama Dr. Cawley.

Baadhiya sinema maarufu amabazo Martin Scorsese ameongoza ni, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Casino, Kundun na The Departed.

Habari za Open Call ziko chini.
