AND BACK TO “WHAT I DO DESERVE"
AS an actor, one thing I especially look forward to are speaking roles in movies and television. Deserve? Well, if the number of auditions one does counts, then perhaps I do deserve a speaking role like I have in WINNOWING — https://janik.yolasite.com/winnowing.php, a movie written for myself and my partner, Setsuko Tsuchiya, by my author, screenwriter, actor, model, celebrity William Maltese. Already in pre-production, blocking having been completed last week and currently in shot listing, WINNOWING is about an actor and actress auditioning for the “Big One.” You can follow its progress at the above link. Check in regularly to see teasers, trailers, behind-the-scenes vignettes, interviews (including the latest with screenwriter William Maltese) and more.
Okay. Honestly, no one really “deserves” an acting role, whether it be lead, supporting or background. Roles are typically hard earned, the auditioning process being two-fold: First, it gives the producer a glimpse at the appropriateness and versatility of an actor to play a specific role in a production. Second, it serves as the second most important means of growing as an actor/actress, the first being actually playing the role in a production. Luck? Yes, there’s often a bit of that, too, though sometimes timing can be almost as important as skill. Deserved? No. But auditioning, at least in my experience, is the best “training” whether one ends up receiving a part or not. At least that’s been so for me.
Instead of deserving, I like to think grateful. While it’s true that acting roles are an important key part of cinema and television, every quality production involves a team, sometimes hundreds of crew in addition to the usual producer, director, cameraperson, and sound person. What one doesn’t see on the silver screen or home television is the myriad of dedicated individuals that make pre-production, production and post-production work. Gratitude is my catchword, for everyone involved in every aspect of every film in which I’ve had the privilege and honor of acting. Deserved? Pooh! Grateful. Immensely. And especially so for WINNOWING.
