An opportunity?

I'm not sure if I mentioned here that I registered with an online talent database. I know I mentioned it elsewhere because I was pimping for votes for a competition they had.

Anyway, I've been applying for anything that looked vaguely interesting out of all the jobs that were posted.

I just got an email from the director of a film. I applied for one of the roles he posted on the site. He wants me to audition. Next Saturday. In Brisbane.

I don't think the budget will stretch to send me to Brisbane on such short notice, particularly as we couldn't afford to go to QLD for Christmas this year. Poo bum wee.

I've asked the director if he'll let me audition via video. If I get cast, then I'll fly up for the filming. But I know we can't afford for me to do two trips, especially as this is on a TFC (time for credit) basis, not a paid role.

The film is intended to be entered in film festivals, so if I get the role, it will help get me name and face out there, and it'll be another credit for my resume, so it's definitely worth doing. I just wish money wasn't so tight.
