I was recently reintroduced to my blog and I noticed that my first post was about how excited and happy I was to be auditioning for a role in your, then, upcoming George Clooney movie that was being filmed here right in good ole St. Louis. How exciting! A big time movie being shot in St. Louis, and not just a lowly boring movie like "Meet Bill" that never really amounted to anything, but an actual movie, and starring George Clooney no less! Of course I jumped at the chance to try and be in his movie. I mean it was an open casting call looking for people who could be traveling internationally in an airport, how could I not?
So on that fateful day, I made the trek out to Crestwood mall and stood in line for a good 4 hours to get my shot at being an extra. I finally had made my way to the casting room and talked to the audition people, it seemed to have gone well. They said that I was what they were looking for in an extra. They said they would inform me on whether or not I would get the part in the coming months.
And I waited.
It was February when I auditioned. The last day to let people know if they would be in the movie was in late April. So I waited. I truly believed that they would call me. March came and went. And then it was April. That, too, came and went, and still, there was no phone call.
I was heartbroken. My chance at stardom was crushed. They didn't want me. *tears*
A few months later the trailer for the movie came out. I was sad.
And now to the point of this long blog, movie producers are bitches! How could they not pick me to be in their movie!? You say you want international people. I put on my application that I could be either Indian/Pakistani or Arab. How much more international can you get? I stood in that line for a good 4 hours. And in that time I people-watched enough to know that the mall was full of white people, a handful of black people, and a few asians. Some of them could have been international yes, but when you think of JFK Airport (where the movie was to take place) you think of people coming in from all over the world, including the Middle East and the Indian sub-continent! Which, HELLO, is me!
So guess what George Clooney movie people, you suck. You don't know talent when it is right in front of your face and I know this for a fact because I was right in front of your face!
I guess we'll see if I go and see your movie now won't we!
(but I mean obviously I will, it was filmed in St. Louis! no matter how much you guys suck, that is still pretty cool)
Sincerely,
Sara a.k.a. an extremely disgruntled former star
