The CastAndLoose Weekly Round-Up
Welcome to the first edition of the CastAndLoose Weekly Round-Up!
CastAndLoose.Tumblr.com is a collection of the worst (real) casting breakdowns the internet has to offer, curated by me, actor and writer Lynne Marie Rosenberg. Join me each week for the highlights of the entertainment industry.
1. This week, keeping with film school tradition of whitewashing, a USC student is casting an all Caucasian short film for no reason…
Story line: A normal conversation between 2 sisters turns into a heated confrontation.
[ CYNTHIA ] 20 to 35 years old, Caucasian female.
[ ANN ] 20 to 35 years old, Caucasian female.
…proving once again that “normal” is film school speak for “white.”
2. Not to be outdone, an American Film Institute student produced this clever new idea…
…solidifying himself as a typical objectifying creep soon to head into the professional realm.
3. The fashion world found a creative way around saying “Not Black Or Asian…”
4. …while the TV world seems to be struggling with language and meaning.
[ STYLE MAVEN ] The style maven gives good Instagram.
[ CELESTE ] […] This audition will include a very short improvised reading of a scripted scene.
5. An improvised reading of a scripted scene is like a blind date with a guy you know really well. But the CastAndLoose Weekly Round-Up award this week goes to this fellow, who apparently has a death wish:
Till next week! If we live that long.
