I've Learned My Lesson

Do y'all remember that ridiculous online audition I did back at the beginning of the year? The one that took forever to announce the winners? For that horror film with Bai Ling, The Gauntlet? Well, I've been periodically checking back to see if anything has been updated. Not so much a "need to" thing (it was initially), but now more of an obligation..."oh yeah, that thing, let me take a look". Well, they did cast 4 people from online auditions (but I'm now questioning that they were actually everyday schmoes--maybe they were...). There were, I believe, 4 other parts that were up for grabs. I later learned that it was down to 6 total, and one remaining part to be announced was "Calvin", the part I submitted for (bad sentence structure, bad!). Anyway, they had on this "yippi.com" (the sight you had to join and build a profile in order to audition, etc.), a note stating that "more announcements were to come". Fine. Well, I just checked and someone made a comment that "Calvin" had been cast, and was listed on the IMDB page (incidentally, the IMDB page has stated the film was in "post-production" for at least the past 3 months---uh-huh), but no announcement had been made on yippi.com...and the "more announcements were to come" banner was still up. I understand these folks are all busy, and we're only disposable, robotic actors w/ no hopes or dreams or humanity, but still, couldn't they keep up and make it known that the parts had been cast? After all, the producers of this and the yippi.com folks were the ones to pioneer this wacky way of casting some smaller speaking roles and along the way, generate a lot of buzz about their film. Basically, I'm saying that "you started it, you finish it". Show some dignity for heaven's sake. I'd already given up hope months ago that this part would be mine, or that these filmmakers would stay abreast of their own developments. I initially figured this crazy endeavor of mine to submit to a film online would turn out bad, or a scam or whatever, but I also figured that life is too short, and "what if?". You never know, so I took the chance. But, folks...I've learned my lesson, and will therefore shortly be dismantling my yippi.com page. One less networking site I must contend with. Ah, sweet rationalization. Fits like a glove.
