"Documentaries" are some of the toughest work I do...especially locally for so many reasons. <BR/><BR/>This production company was GREAT to work with (unlike so many others, especially those who are "Networks" or "Stations" who rely on "Native Content" to survive in ratings...LITERALLY)...They actually wanted to get it right.<BR/><BR/>As far as appropriate casting with me and Tijer Lily Co it's simple...just contact someone within the community. We live it and breathe it every day. Born into it, literally. Then you have to practice at your skills and maintain good relations and updated contacts within the community. <BR/><BR/>It is specialty casting, not just anyone can do this. Note the Twilight casting comments on how they had a tough time "finding Native talent" for the first one...well...this time it's different. We'll see what happens. This time the community has been notified of potential availability of roles for "New Moon." I made sure of it. It's a matter of what they (all decision makers) do with all the information I gave them and talent I sent their way. This time if we see that comment online as an excuse...we'll know it's a lie. I have a good feeling about it though.<BR/><BR/>Keep the conversation going.<BR/><BR/>(BTW - the German production company knows and knew more about our culture than the vast majority of US and North American residents and they thought they were clueless). I'd work with them again in a heartbeat.<BR/><BR/>TJRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
