I've had a chance to really refine them. It was rougher. I hadn't set up the main relationship clearly enough. I had my notebook there, and I was going to take notes on things like this that didn't work, where the structure was faulty. My pen was primed, but for the first half hour I was too choked up and teary.
Somebody knows somebody who knows somebody.
Rob also enabled me to visit a film set where I was introduced to Esra Gaffin, who was a stand-in. I also got recommendations from Kevin Fennessy Casting and Lynda Patton, who read a few parts as well. The actors did it for nothing, but they won't get nothing from it. If this goes to print, I'm loyal. Even for free.
