Thank you for the advice..however I did get a chance to speak to him as well as Doua Moua and Wa Yang. They were all very nice young men, but I felt that my roles did not fit them for this particular film. As a writer you already have an idea of who your characters are and what they look like. I knew MTV was Michael when I first saw him. He was very shy, but his looks captured us. I wanted a pretty boy with messy hair to play Sean and when KMX walked in with his friends..(he wasn't even trying out) I knew I found Sean and so I made him sign up. We had originally cast another in the spot of Toulong Kue, but because of conflicts he was unable to make it so we recasted with Lucky Cha. I think Lucky fit the role more so I am glad that things turned out the way they did. WIth Bee Her, there were already three pretty boys in the house so I was looking for a darker character to portray Blong. He can be caring and adorable but can kill with his eyes.. lol.. I was seriously starting to worry then I saw his myspace (it does not look like him since he is a rocker with his own music) and messaged him. I still wasn't sure but when he walked in to our tent in Fresno...it was Blong Chang!!! Amen... lol...
Yes ...it took a long time and sitting through tedious auditions knowing full well that most of the kids did not fit my characters..but it was worth it because in the end I actually found them all! Although all perfect strangers I am so thankful that they all get along great on the set. No egos or issues. And I don't anticipate any either. I expect the best behavior from them at all times while representing SEG and they know it!!
I also didn't know that most of these kids can sing and dance. KMX can speak and sing in Thai fluently. MTV can speak and sing in French fluently...Lucky can RAP/break dance and Bee can play heavy metal guitar like no tomorrow... Along with Peter Thor's (my current lead singer whom auditioned for me in Southern Cali..and will also be playing a minor part in the film also) awesome voice and dancing talent .. I think I got my boy band in the house too!!! We're getting ready to arrange the music to our soundtrack ourselves. Wish us luck!
Thanks again for the feedback !!!
