Booked My First LA Project!

I've successfully booked my first project. It's a student short film that will be shot on MiniDV. The director has told me that his professor is a professional filmmaker and will be assisting - in addition he'll have professional grips. This encourages me because it means I might get some footage that can be used in my reel.

The part? I'm playing Jimmy Olsen. Yes the Jimmy Olsen of Superman fame. The basic plot of the film is that The Daily Planet has been purchased by J.P. Murdock ala Wall Street Journal and Clark Kent is faced with trying to get a new job. Even Superman isn't so super when faced with corporate mergers and down-sizing.

I've got a fun little scene with Clark where I ask him to put in a good word for me with the interviewers. It's under 5 lines, but its a safe place for me to improve my film-acting skills.

Cool. Cool. So cool. But too bad you don't get to wear tights.
