Luke Gunn, Will Sanborn, and Meggie Reeves were our actors. Overall, they did an awesome job. They were really helpful and ready to go when they got there. They brought their own clothes and all had their own scripts. They were really receptive to critiques and bared with us during setups.
Will was our main character and therefore was with us most of the time. I thought he really brought good life into the character. He made sure he wasn’t creepy and that we really felt for this guy who lost someone he didn’t even know. Will was willing to do pretty much anything and everything we asked him too and wasn’t bothered when we asked him to make changes. He seemed to have a general interest in film which helped out a lot as well. He made sure he knew what his motivation was before he made any move on screen which was great for us.
Luke played the roommate character. Even though Luke only really ever said “SUP” he definitely brought humor into the otherwise bleak story. He was great at acting disinterested in us and interested in his video game. He was there 5 minutes early and was completely memorized which was really helpful in the filming process.
Meggie was our last actor in the film who played the attractive girl. I have worked with megan a bunch so I know she would be very prepared. The best part about having Megan as an actor is that she’s completely okay when you don’t need her. She always brings a book or magazine to read and has her own water so we don’t feel bad when we don’t need her.
Our one major hitch that happened was that our camera battery died and we had to go back for another one. I was really worried the actors would be mad but luckily they were really cool with it while we ran to get the other battery. This made them late for a performance but they never once were mean or yelled at us. Overall they did a really awesome job and were very easy to work with.
