Will didn’t hesitate too much before signing Marcus for the role. There wasn’t much time left in the audition, and he was the only one who ticked all the qualities that the young director was looking for.
His vibe was just perfect, and his acting was way better than he had initially thought.
On the other hand, Marcus couldn’t believe that he had passed the audition.
“I really passed! You are not joking, right?”
He asked, his face showing disbelief as his eyes roamed at Will, June and John.
“Yes, congratulations! Welcome to the team of [The Blair Witch Project]. I hope we will work well together.”
Will said and shook Marcus’s hands.
The black guy looked tough, always stood uptight and didn’t say anything, but at this moment, he wasn’t able to control his emotions.
That 15k will help his family a lot, and it was the first time he had passed an audition. And it was even for a lead role.
His mom would surely cry hearing this.
For a while, Marcus just sat there and tried to take in the fact that he was now the leading man of a movie.
Suddenly, he stood up and took out his phone.
“I’m sorry, but I need to inform my family about this.”
“It’s fine. After talking, just come here and give me your number, and we can sign the contract tomorrow.”
Marcus nodded and went outside to call. June smiled next to Will, seeing this.
“We got a nice lead.”
Will leaned down in his seat and waited for Zach’s performance. His portfolio has already impressed him, and he felt like Zach was going to be perfect for Micheal’s character.
‘I really hope this is it.’
He wished in his heart, and it was then that Zach’s performance began. His body suddenly started shaking, and a painful expression appeared on his face like he was feeling grief over something and was guilty because of it.
Suddenly, he jerked his head like he had heard a strange sound.
Zach bit down on his lips and put his hand on his heart like he was trying to calm himself down. But it didn’t work as a tear slowly rolled down from his eyes.
The performance ended there, and Will couldn’t help but clap out loud.
“It was perfect!! You got the role!”
“What? Really?”
Zach wasn’t able to believe it. After wiping the teardrop from his face, he started dancing weirdly in the cafe. He completely forgot that he was in a public place and just jumped around everywhere.
June could not help but giggle seeing this behaviour.
“He’s like me after I got my first role.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, it was a small role, but I was really excited about it. We have most of the cast now.”
Will smiled hearing that and took a deep breath.
John came up to him at that moment and patted his shoulder.
“You got a good group of actors here, Will. Trust me; these are quite talented. Let’s do the contract stuff tomorrow, and don’t forget to invite me to the premiere!”
John said and laughed.
“I won’t. Thanks for your help today.”
“Call me again next time too.”
Now that he had finished the casting, finding a small crew and starting the shooting was left.
He already had an idea of how he would get a crew. So, Will couldn’t wait till he got to the shooting part.
