That's a wrap on Killer

I have performed, filmed, and will soon be getting paid for my part as a hired assassin looking for love in Killer. The scene went off well, and was really well received by both the director and the teacher. The best part was the teacher's reception, she really liked the work we performed. Hopefully this will lead to more jobs, either with the school or in the industry.
Let me explain how this process works a bit. The director/writer works with the actors for about a week; going over the beats of the scene, the intentions, building a set. Then at the end of the week, the camera(s) are set-up and the scene is shot. The teacher watches first few takes/rehearsals and then takes the director aside to recommend ways to enhance the scene. The process leading up to the teacher stepping in was a bit awkward, I'm not sure how much experience the director had before this scene but it took a bit to flush out exactly what he wanted in the scene. With the teacher's help, the whole mood relaxed and i felt pretty good about the finished performance.
Once again, I will try and post some footage if it become available to me.
