Be warned - Love Story Auditions
Fri, 4 Feb 2005, 02:23 pmAs we all know, the auditions for the "film" Love Story have been haunting this site (and other areas) for some time. I know many actors who sent the "director" their details nearly 6 months ago and have not heard a thing. I emailed Serge (the director) about the project and he could not give me ANY details. I find this a worry as the questions were quite simple - i.e. what is this film for (festivals? competition?), what sort of characters are you looking for and estimated hours. I thought these basic details could be given to actors - what's the big secret? Whenever student films advertise for actors we are always given simple character information and basic details.
When I questioned his reponse the only answer he could give me was that Natalie Portman did not know what role she was auditioning for in "The Phantom Menace"!!! I am sorry but who does this guy think he is? George Lucas? AND Natalie Portman's audition would have been set up by a top-notch agent - she didn't have to send photographs and personal information to some unknown director.
Just be warned. This sounds really suss to me.
Any one else heard anything?

OK, I am not attached to this film, But i do know 'of' 'Serge Sharrinovsky' though my association with the media.
I can guarantee that this film is totally legit.
You got to remember that serge has had a lot of trouble getting local organizations in this industry to be involved; I donÂ’t think any funding has come from screen west, or any governing national funding bodies.
But besides this it has its 3.5million dollar budget through international investors if it, it could be more. And I do believe it has known actors attached from the eastern states.
Serge’s story in itself, in getting this production on the road, is a movie in itself. ‘Small guy, has to overcome hurdles to achieve the greater’. This guy has got to the point that not even of the far greater more establish production companies have been trying to achieve for years in Perth and if not nationally...
