Last Saturday I went to a Open Casting Call for ABC's Shark Tank where 500 entrepreneurs pitched their ideas and businesses to casting directors. The casting directors said that they would only call us with good news and we would know by Friday the 17th by 7pm. So when Friday rolled around and I had not received any calls from California, to say the least I was pretty bummed. But somehow I still had hope! I went on Twitter and found the casting director I pitched to and tweeted at her and found her email. So I made a Youtube video of my 1 minute pitch and attached it in an email to her for my one last shot at getting a call back.
Then, today after my hope was dwindling a little, while I was walking around Doylestown with a friend, I got that magic call from California. It was the casting director I emailed and she told me I made it through to the final round of casting! She said I now need to send her an email answering 12 questions she sent to me in 5 minutes. She said to make it creative and unique, not just me sitting at my desk. Trying to control screams of excitement, I thanked her!
I read through the email she sent me and it says filming takes place mid June-mid July so if I make it through it is a very fast process! I will keep you in the loop and feel free to comment with suggestions for my video pitch!
