Research Questions-

Please answer the following as it will be used as analytical data for the project. There is not a right or wrong answer and will not affect your involvement in the project.
____________________________________________


Name: Katherine Brown

Location: San Antonio, Texas

Character Portrayed: Caterina marrone


Do you have formal training acting: No


How do you perceive your role as an acting participant:
Caterina, my character, is quite opposite in every way of myself....she allows me to be a bit more harsh as far as the online cyberspace interaction, overly sure of herself and explore art in an approach quite different to my real work. Caterina has a few pieces that will be on exhibit at the Vivo/Alive Exhibition....so interested to see the reaction to her pieces which will be a bit more erotic and or violent.


Deciding factor/s to want to be a part of the project:
When Myriam and Joey talked of changing the caracter (who was a male previously) into a cold calculating female....that she was to have Italian roots and a passion for the arts that was used as her front....


Ideas, expectations and goals regarding the project:

I am just very interested in the entire evolution of this film as it is quite diverse with the cyberspace interaction with those who actually feel the characters are 'real'. Also, the fact that Caterina is actually donating a piece or two for a 'real' arts benefit. I am excited to see what happens.


Briefly describe your process as to identify with the "Character Bio" provided to you:

Being that Caterina is quite a cold and demanding person...I have to constantly remind myself of that. When I write to people via cyberspace, if they have asked me a stupid question or ignore something written in my profile regarding the character via myspace, I must have a "0" tolerance ....so typically respond to people who have emailed me regarding dating, money, where I live in Miami with a bit of a harsh response.


What is your feeling about the project's non-conventional approach towards film production to proceed forward with a voluntary production crew and acting participants:

I feel it is awesome...but I also feel that some of the characters are not keeping up with their dialogue....maybe they are a bit 'lost' or second guessing what dialogue they need to use....???

Name: Clayton Hodges

Location: San Antonio Tx

Character Portrayed: Morgan Wore



Do you have formal training acting: Formal, no. But I do have plenty of experience with creating personas just to mess with people. When you come back during spring break, remind me to introduce you to Sergei, Jack Dolan, and Philip McCrotch.


How do you perceive your role as an acting participant: I've been given a REALLY important role and I respect that position; hence the fact that I'm taking so long to start working with it. I'm still trying to get this cat down and solid.


Deciding factor/s to want to be a part of the project:
The idea of letting a story 'evolve' from the characters. This could be the truest form of 'letting a story tell itself'.


Ideas, expectations and goals regarding the project:
I'm basically rolling with the punches with this.


Briefly describe your process as to identify with the "Charater Bio" provided to you:
I've been asking questions of myself as to why Morgan has become the person he is. I've been slowly building a history that will culminate in a full actualization of the character.


What is your feeling about the project's non-conventional approach towards film production to proceed forward with a voluntary production crew and acting participants: To put it in the vernacular: IT FUCKIN' RAWKS!!!
