So after we went the craigslist route, we posted our project on a couple of other sites, www.nowcasting.com and www.actorsaccess.com. Both sites have given us an unbeleivable number of headshots, primarily from the LA area. We have taken a first look through all of these and identified our top candidates. We will be holding auditions in Colorado this weekend. For obvious reasons, we have a preference toward home-grown talent. However, if we don't find what we need locally, we will be determining if we need to come to LA for auditions or figure out an alternate way to audition long-distance - probably have folks videotape auditions for us.

On the location front, we spent Monday and Tueday in Breckenridge and Fairplay scouting. We saw some amazing homes. Without giving away our top choices, we found a number of amazing places from some cool websites: www.paragonlodging.com, www.southparklodging.com, www.vrbo.com, and www.breckvillas.com. If you're looking to rent a home in the mountains, visit one of these guys... As soon as we get the owners' permission, we'll announce the location here.

Yo yo yo. I gotta be throwin' out some props to my homeys as craigslist.com.

We were sittin' around tryin' to figure out how to reach the LA talent market for our casting and a lightbulb went on. loasangeles.craigslist.com. Since we posted, we've been getting about six headshots per hour, yes, one every ten minutes or so. Now if only Campbell Scott or Kevin Bacon read craigslist we're in! Hmmmmm... maybe we should try the NY craigslist too...

Note to our LA friends: Our challenge, as a Denver-based production, is that auditioning you may be difficult. If you have an online reel or an online trailer or a recognizable credit (recognizable to us in flyover country), please tell us about that. We may be asking some of you to send a reel in lieu of being able to meet you in person inexpensively, but please continue sending the headshots first.

Note to my boyz (and ho's) in the Colorado hood: Don't worry about this whole LA thing. We jus chillin' in the hizzy. We know there's talented people here and we're going to use as many of you as we can. Colorado auditions will be scheduled soon, we now have a location.

Peace out.

There I go again. Waiting a whole month before blogging. Damn. Consistency. Momentum. Blah blah blah.

It's snowing here. I'm hoping for a blizzard.

If you signed up to receive Security Threat Film email updates, we've lost your address. Or rather, Edmund lost your address. All of them. Gone without a trace. Damn Edmund. So much for guerilla marketing. Sign up again. We won't let Edmund close to them this time.

The casting ball is rolling. We've sent out feelers to the local agents. If your agent hasn't felt you, you may want a new agent. All I need is a place for auditions and we'll be set on our local folks... Now if we can only get someone who can help us sell this damn project... Or at least someone who can attract some more dollars for our project...

New nin on ktcl tomorrow. I can't wait. We got tickets for the Fillmore. We rock. Out.
