Yes of course there was a short lived TV show in the mid 1980's about the squadron, but it was mostly over dramatized and over done. There were real issues and real dangers flying the slot over the New Georgia Channel, of the Solomon chain of islands in world war 2.
Pappy was a real hero although he never thought of himself as one.
While many of us who were lucky enough to be assigned to the 214 now properly discharged and restoring our older warbirds, the time to tell that story is now, before all the original members of the 214 are gone.
Our film's casting will be under the direction of Vickie of TMG Talent of Salt Lake City, Utah. Which brings me to the subject here of another.
Vickie, sent me this thing from Backstage talent finders bout those looking to get in the business and all.
Now I'm one that casts a bunch of projects. I see both men and women that have no idea, of the study, dedication, nor prep work that it takes to get into serious acting, and/or drama.
Over the years of doing meet and greets of potential casting projects, I never am ceased to amazement, of mostly women especially younger women near ages 22 through 30 that always say the same thing when I ask tell me about yourself. The response is always, " What would you like to know?" Just once having a prospective talent come into the casting room, and saying, "I'm , such/such, I live here in, I like this, these are my hobbies, this is where I want to be in 5 years, this is why I like your project." A short bio is a good step. Maybe even acting it out. If one is casting for something leggy in appearance , then while telling me their bio, highlight their lower limbs, show off a bit, this is after all acting. Can they put on a small mask for the 5 to 10 minutes of a meet and greet and let me as a director creative producer see their abilities.
It doesn't matter how many acting/drama/modeling classes they have been to, its their ability to project and self direct, and get into character that makes a actor/actress.
I had one talent firm in Utah, say it the best, especially when it came to our projects, she said, " What you want is an actress that can model, not a model that tries to act" That is exact. Just about any female with looks can strut on a catwalk, its that lady, who can look good, and create an image and sell a product, or make a clip of film dramatic that is in demand. Can she change or inflect her voice, can she give facial and body cues without being directed to? These are the kinds of things that real film makers are looking for. Can that actor/actress remove themselves from their conservative views or environment long enough to transform themselves and transport their audience into another place, so they enjoy the film?
If they can the world of film and TV is open to them. If not then they might as well stay flipping frozen cow parts at the sign of golden arches.
