Jackie had arranged for Rebecca, George and Daniel to meet up on Saturday. The original plan was to also have Blair meet up later on but seeing as he didn't want to come to another audition that was out and we really wanted Daniel anyway. It was short-sighted of Blair really as this was for his showreel which he doesn't appear to have much of.

It turned out Rebecca and Daniel knew each other which I half expected to happen. Actors in NZ who actually get work probably all know each other.

I was unimpressed that we gave them the old script to work off when I had written a new one. Sure it needs work but it had more dialogue.

Aside from being nice and friendly to the actors I sat quiet the whole time. I was silently annoyed. I had expressed my concerns privately to Jackie about group dynamics and lack of organisation (mostly because of the group dynamics) in a message but she wanted to meet and talk about it. Well, we never got to meet. She tried to raise it before the actors turned up but I wasn't really interested by this time.

Once again Joyce not having studied the script and clearly having her own idea of what would be happening despite it being on paper for the last few weeks showed it itself to us and to the slightly confused actors. Also just her shooting the whole thing annoyed me. The director directs the actors, but our director seems to think she has creative control over everything. Which would be fine if she was any good at it. Well it wouldn't be fine but it's definitely not fine like this. So once the actors were gone I left, not even wanting to talk to Jackie. I'll save it for our meeting with our tutor. That will be fun.

Oh and Ros didn't show up, couldn't make it apparently. yeah.
