First bit of good news for the last few days today! Before thinking about auditions, I was asking Jo about contact details of a few people from her audition - albeit didn't get quite what she was looking for - who stood out as decent actors who would be good to reference in the future. I've asked Jo about getting hold of these contacts but had no result. Now she's finally delivered so things might not look so bleakly last-minute after all!

Most of this morning's work has gone into my dissertation introduction - something which has taken a backseat for the time being while I work on organising casting. (And properly get down to over Christmas) I still need a room booked but the situation is starting to look up!

Now that I have the set dates (16th and 17th of January) I can now look ahead and notify people well in advance of filming so that I know that they can be definitely availible. I still also need some additional adult extras but I've got a few to be going on with for the time being.

Despite it all being shot on a stills camera, I wonder if it would be worth it to have Adam Fitfield to come and shoot a couple of stills for the sake of some behind-the-scenes shots.
