So!! I saw Faber Drive in concert on Saturday with Brittany. It was a lot of fun as usual. A 45 minute set! Dang! Such a great time! Oh and also there was no photo rule '3 songs and your out' ahahha.
I suggest going to a Faber Drive concert, those guys never let me down! I had a lot of fun singing along to their songs. Afterwards me and Britt got to hang out with the guys. So much fun =)
Next...
On Sunday I went to the open casting calls in Vancouver for New Moon. I waited from 9 am to 12:30 with my brother. We were near the door when the guy said 'no more people are allowed in'. You know... I wouldn't be so angry if the whole thing wasn't so bogus.
Here's the story:
So me and my brother got there.. The line up was already around the corner. I looked at the people in front of me. Guess what I saw?
NO NATIVES. Just caucasian people and their parents, and all sorts of asian people. Yup. I met three natives there the rest were all different types of nationalities that were no where near natives.
Yes, I'm Mexican and so is my brother. But we can definitely pull it off as a native, we've actually been told we look like them. Even pure native people thought we were native.
Anyways... So there was this guy who came out to talk to the people in the line up saying "we're only looking for 100% native people. Everyone else will be denied at the door!"
He was lying! He was just trying to thin out the line. Which sort of worked... all the east indians left the line up knowing that they wouldn't get a call back (smart people). When me and my brother were closer to the door we saw that they were not kicking out any one. They actually let all the white-skinned (or non-native looking people) into the casting call wasting the casting persons time (from what I heard there was only one caster there).
The studio is pretty small. After the doors there's a staircase where the line up extended. When I saw the people waiting for the casting call ... there was a large amount of caucasian people, asian people, little kids that were under the age of 12, and their parents. That wasted a lot of space for the tan/russet skinned people who could've gotten call backs.
I saw some boys coming out with call back sheets, and they looked a lot like my brother. So I was really pissed off that the casters couldn't see him. 'Cause my brother is a really good actor (he's been in two school plays and had big parts in them. Also he took a theatre class last semester in university).
Apparently they were just casting one girl (Emily) so I don't think I could've gotten that part. I'm going to get my brother an agent, so he can try out to be Seth Clearwater (appears once in new moon and probably wont get casted til next year for Eclipse). I want him to play Seth and I can try out for Leah. That'd be pretty sweet huh? I'd even bulk up to play her.
Also I'm going to try and get us into the extras of the movie as well since I'm moving to Vancouver, it'll be easy for me to get there.
So as from my experience and story, you can tell that the casting was a lot of bogus and full of greedy little white skinned people that wasted so many peoples times. Oh well. There's always next year right?
