Storyland...

Well, Epoch finished and both shows went rather well... and we had a lovely post show night out in The Church Bar on Saturday...

And speaking of Saturday, I had an audition for one of the pitches for Storyland and I got the part! Storyland is a competition to get new filmakers, directors, writers etc. to enter submissions to make a web-based drama series. All the submissions will be looked at and eventually ten will be picked to be made, except the audience is voting on them, so each week one less submission will go through, getting to make their next episode, until only one series will be completed. It's very new and exciting, closing dates for submissions is on the 17th November... and little old me got picked!

Now, there's no guarantee that the series I'm involved in will be picked to be made, but we had a meeting this evening, looked at more scripts and next week we're filming the pitch. I'd love it if our series got chosen, and I'll calling everyone to go have a look see and vote... but this is all in the New Year, nothing is definite and it may all come to naught!

Speaking of filming, busy as a bee I am. Mike Donnelly, my director for the Jaded Sun video is making something for RTE at the moment, and he invited me along to be a part of it, so I'm toddling along to pretend to be a pregnant woman tomorrow for a rehearsal, and we're filming it Sunday. More when I know exactly what I'm doing!

Also tomorrow, I have an audition for a play that runs for six weeks in the new year. I'm afraid it may encroach upon the two plays I promised to do in April, only because they have a set run planned but are thinking of extending and touring. I could commit to the six weeks and the rehearsal period in January but nothing further... but that's only if I got the part!! Anyway, it's Willy Russell's play, Stags & Hens... crack out the Liverpool accent... My head will be a bit wrecked tomorrow from staying up all night practising a Cork accent all last night... as it eventually turned out, unnecessarily... but still, now I know all I ever wanted to know about the Ó'hAilín brothers!

And now, since it's election night in the US, I'm going to glue myself to the news until 3am

Enjoy
