I don't know what I was thinking. I should have known better based on past experience. I guess that I thought he would go audition for Nickelodeon and we would leave it at that. Even though I knew that Actorfest would have a bunch of booths to talk to people and gain information.
Sam and I went early, we were up and ready go. I thought we would go through the hall and meet a few people in the business and leave to do the audition. I brought some headshots with resumes attached, but really only enough for the Nickelodeon audition and a couple more people. I had other headshots and resumes, but they weren't stapled together. My mistake. A bunch of Casting directors had set out boxes in the corners for you to drop off your headshot and resume. Luckily, I was able to bum a stapler off another mom in the area. Even at that he had just enough headshots and not enough resumes. GRRRRR.
Missed opportunity and lesson learned.
He wasn't as prepared as he needed to be for Nickelodeon. I knew he wasn't prepared. But, I had been fighting with him all week to get more prepared. I knew he would walk in and out with out a call back. I hoped he would see that he really wasn't prepared like he should be. I told him that I wasn't going to force him to do it, I would suggest he spend time on it, but this was his deal and he could be prepared 100% of the time or he could fail. I guess when he gets rejected enough he might decide to do things my way. In the meantime.....no call back with Nickelodeon.
We heard back from the free work audition...they went another direction with another kid. We haven't heard back from anyone else as of yet, but maybe by the first of the week if he gets the job....otherwise...those are no too. They usually don't call to say no...only to say yes.
Anyway...that was my day. Three hours of standing in line, for Sam to hand out headshot and have a 30 second interview. I have a headache and need a nap.
