Last week i auditioned for a feature film which all went perfectly well and the director never had to direct me very much, unlike everyone else. But yesterday i recieved an email telling me i was not short listed for second audition without any reasons given. I know rejection is a frequent part of an actors life however would you consider auditions essential for the success of a movie? When i write/direct a film i simply cast actors whose work i know and never have any need for an audition.
I hate auditions anyway as i know some actors will be rejected and i know what thats like, completely soul destroying! Its even worse when you have to travel a long distance at short notice on your own expense, for a job which the probability of work is very unlikely.
So i came up with an idea. If auditions are considered imperative for the success of a movie, is it possible to audition actors directly via the internet? I imagine this would be so much more cost effective for everyone involved, and not so much leg work.
