E's First Movie - "Copper" by Diane M. Dresback (Day 1)

The other day one of my friends posted a casting call on her Facebook, and they were looking for a little girl 6-9 years old, blonde, brunette, or red head. I debated taking E, and in the end, decided, what the heck . . . why not. If nothing else it would be a fun night out together. The part was for a short film (only a 15 or so page script).

Last Monday night, we drove downtown Phoenix, and E auditioned. I felt nervous because we had never done anything like this before, and because lots of the girls who were there seemed older than E and also more experienced. Still, we were there, so we just stayed. E was really excited. She did okay in her reading of the lines -- but apparently she did better than I imagined because she got the part. She practiced her lines throughout the week, and then today, my cute hubby took her to film her first scene.

Here she is practicing her lines before her scene was shot. I am so thankful that she can read because I think that really helped her to be able to suceed with this opportunity.

Here are a couple more shots while filming the first scene she is in . . .

E and the camera

I think she had lots of fun! She got home kind of late and was pretty tired when she got home. I think she learned some things too. I am glad she is participating in this project. Only a couple more scenes for her to have shot -- one tomorrow and one Monday . . .
