All Confirmation Messages Sent! Headshot Count is 38.

April 5, 2007 /

We’ve been able to send all the second confirmation messages to actors in record time. So expect that message shortly in your inbox, or, if your email program is over-zealous, your spam filter.

(If you haven’t gotten an email from us, make sure that stonehenge@teamjabberwocky.com is in your address book or “good list” before you send us a message.)

Actors, make sure you leave home with no less than 38 headshots. Please make sure to hand us the correct count upon check-in and ensure that they are securely stapled or otherwise attached to your resume. We don’t have office supplies for you to borrow.

If you have the time, you may want to right “Stonehenge 04/07” in a small corner of your resume to help filmmakers remember where they saw you.

Actors: Reminders for this Saturday’s Stonehenge

April 1, 2007 /

Note: All of this is covered on some level in the Actor FAQ, which is on the website.

This does not replace the second confirmation email you will receive at the end of this week.

#1: Let us Know if you Won’t Show.

We’re looking forward to seeing you all this Saturday, however, statistically speaking, we won’t.

Many of you won’t show up.

We understand there are numerous reasons why you may not be able to make it to the audition this Saturday and that’s fine. In fact, we hope it’s for some great reason like you’ve got a paid gig somewhere. The key thing is, whether you have a guaranteed space or a standby space, let us know if you won’t show. A quick email to stonehenge@teamjabberwocky.com and you make another actor’s day.

Remember, if you have a guaranteed space, do not show up and DO NOT CANCEL, you will be on our mud list. That means you don’t
get to audition at any Stonehenge for at least the next three years. If you
have a standby space, we still want to know if you have to cancel. We will make a note of it if you do not show and don’t let us know. Over 500 actors tried to sign up for 192 spaces. If you’re not going to use your space, let us know.

#2: It’s okay to be late

There’s any number of good reasons why you might be late. The Metro may be swamped with people off to see the cherry blossoms. Parking may be abysmal. We want you there in one piece ready to audition. Don’t stress about things you can’t control.

Mind you, it’s not great to be late. First off, you’ve lost your space. You need to be there fifteen minutes before your audition time. That’s when we call that audition time. If you’re not there at the check-in desk when we call, odds are you’ve lost your space. We don’t judge, we just move on.

If you are late, we will try and fit you into a standby space and, at the very least, distribute your headshots and resumes. However, it’s best not to be late.

#3: Have the right number of headshots

You will get the exact number of headshots/resumes needed in the second
confirmation email later this week. The number will also be listed on the Team J blog (this blog) around that same time.

Make sure you’ve counted your headshots beforehand so you’re handing us the correct number. Extras usually find their way to the trash.

Thanks for reading. We look forward to seeing you Saturday.

SAG Actor Update for 48HFP

March 27, 2007 /

We’ve just learned some important news that may impact actors and filmmakers attending Stonehenge and/or participating in the DC 48 Hour Film Project this upcoming May. Unlike previous years, the 48 Hour Film Project does not have a SAG waiver this year. So, 48 hour teams, no SAG for you.

Filmmakers, please bear that in mind when registering and noting pay scales.

UPDATE: As of 4/20/07, the 48 Hour folks have come to a new agreement with SAG. So you can use SAG actors again, but there are some changes. Check out the info here.

Stonehenge Registration Breaks Speed Record

March 26, 2007 /

Last night, 120 actors registered within the first eight minutes, taking all the guaranteed audition spaces. Previously, it took closer to five hours to fill all the guaranteed spaces. This is an astounding difference. Now while we like actors to be punctual, expecting them to have the reflexes of a web-trained cheetah is a bit silly. Therefore, we may be re-examining our longstanding first-come, first-served registration policy for future henges.

For those diligent actors who registered around 6:15pm, now you know why you have a standby space.

Registration officially closed at 9:30pm last night. Actor confirmations for the standby spaces and for the waiting list are still being processed and sent out. If you registered by 9:30pm, you will receive a confirmation before Tuesday.

Team J Gets an Upgrade

March 22, 2007 /

Taking advantage of all the benefits blogging technology has to offer, Team J is now transferring all of its news updates to this here blog.

This means, if you subscribe, you’ll be the first to know the next Stonehenge dates for instance–and according to our sources, people want to know that sort of thing.

Actor’s Center to Hold Stonehenge Prep

March 14, 2007 /

On March 31st, Michael Gabel will conduct a workshop called Prepping for Stonehenge for Actor Center members. The workshop will be 10:00 am -1:00 pm at Arlington Cultural Affairs Bldg (3700 Four Mile Run) in Room 127. There is a limit of 20 actors.
Actors should prepare a monologue. Note that this happens the Saturday
after actor registration, so you’ll know if you have a guranteed slot
or not. Actor’s Center membership information is available on their website.

Team J Enters 48 Hour Fray

March 3, 2007 /

This May, Team J will join as many as 100 other filmmaking teams around
the nation’s capital conceiving of, writing, shooting, and editing a
bona fide short film in 48 hours. Registration opened yesterday, and
now it’s official. We’re in.
