SYS Podcast Episode 537: Gigi Levangie Reveals Untold Secrets Behind the Making of SAW (2004)
Quick few words about what I’ve been working on. I am deep into pre-production with my rom-com, which we are shooting in November. Just to recap, I have a small crew assembled. I’ve just about got all my locations figured out. I’ve got the schedule pretty well locked and all of our dates are locked. We’re shooting from October 27th through November 14th. So, the big thing I’m working on now is casting. There’s always lots of actors to choose from here in LA. So that’s really the issue. We have an avalanche of people and we’ve got to pair that number down just by going through them. And you start with just head shots and you look at some of their reel, some of the media that they send in and then you choose the ones that you like. You send them a little notice. They send in a taped audition. So, we’ve now got actors submitting their taped auditions. And then this weekend I’ve been going through them trying to figure out who are the people that we want to bring in for our in-person audition which will be next weekend. So, getting the two leads right, obviously there’s a bunch of smaller roles as well but really focused on the two leads right now. I mean, we’re casting the smaller roles as well but the leads are really taking up a lot of time and rightfully so. I think getting the two leads right is probably the most impactful decision that we’ll make. I mean, this is a rom-com so we’ve got to find two beautiful actors who are great and just have great on-screen chemistry together. So, we’re spending some time with this and going to try and take our time but hopefully in the next week or two we’ll have that all ironed out.
