Yet more roles cast

The auditions are going well, and we've selected actors for some of the larger roles in Zone of Fire: Jerry Eastman as Young Bat, Russell Tiner as Doc Holliday, Joe Rios as Virgil Earp, Sandy Mize as Molly Brennan, and Shawn Rakowitz as Morgan Earp. In the 'separated at birth' category, many of them really look like the people they'll be portraying.
With any luck, we'll have all the major roles and the major locations locked down by the end of the week. (We're still hoping for a good Wyatt Earp and a good Tombstone.)
Bill Champ, now officially the associate producer for Zone of Fire, has been unbelievably helpful. We still need to find a production assistant, however, so anyone in the Austin area who wants the job can email the producer at mseymour@proofmark.com.

Good things

The auditions have been going well, and Young Bat has been cast.
Old Bat, of course, will be ably played by Timothy Patrick Miller, with whom Rico and Bill Champ (now officially the associate producer of Zone of Fire) had a lovely dinner at Oyster Landing in Austin last evening. More auditions over the next several days, and then another location scout, led by the inestimal Leonard Lay, on Saturday afternoon.

Auditions

Proofmark Cinema is in Austin to meet with potential actors and actresses (cowboys & Indians & townies) for Zone of Fire. Auditions are at the Dougherty Arts Center at 1110 Barton Springs Road in Austin. (All slots are now full, but you can email the producer at mseymour@proofmark.com or call him at 215.866.6184.) See you there.

Working in Texas

Rico is in Austin with Bill Champ, doing auditions and scouting locations for next year's shoot of Zone of Fire. Things are, so far, going well. Leonard Lay took us in hand and is carting us about the countryside, finding places to shoot. (See a post somewhere below to buy some of his incredibly nice leather.) So far, a good saloon and some okay towns; still searching for the perfect Tombstone. Cross fingers that we find it, come Saturday. In the meantime, dinner with the star, Timothy Patrick Miller, and then more auditions the rest of the week. We've found Young Bat, and the others will doubtless follow.
