00:00:00You
00:00:30Oh
00:01:00Oh
00:01:30Oh
00:01:32Oh
00:01:56My name is Jeanette Cassoni and I'm 24 years old
00:02:01In the last four years I've been with a theater group and altogether I've taken part in about a dozen plays
00:02:11No
00:02:12Except for a student film short when I was enrolled at the dams art school of Turin
00:02:19Yes, actually my thesis was on you the poetics and exegesis of the new theater of Alex
00:02:30Well, I'm not so sure it's an honor and a privilege for me to be here today
00:03:00Oh
00:03:31Now
00:03:51Yes, excuse me
00:03:53Are you willing to offer
00:03:58Nudity is not a problem as you can see, but I thought you're above such things
00:04:08Then what do you mean I
00:04:13Can be sometimes
00:04:23Oh
00:04:46We'll have to stay like this for much longer
00:04:53You
00:05:06Can you quiver with pleasure and wince in agony at the same time
00:05:10What I'm looking for is a conductor of orgasmic shivers
00:05:16immortal shadows
00:05:19You
00:05:21Use it do whatever comes to mind I want to see how far you can write your imagination
00:05:32I'm not sure. I understand. Can you imagine the blade slicing into your skin?
00:05:38Or
00:05:45Passing over your nipples with a thrill of cold surgical steel
00:05:51No, not for me that's beyond acting she's right the young lady's right you're ridiculous
00:05:57When will you grow out of these circus acts these antics of yours you realize they'll get us into trouble one of these days
00:06:04Look take a hike. I really don't need to hear your bullshit
00:06:08Never mind the smart-ass remarks. What is this charade?
00:06:12Why didn't you tell me you were holding auditions?
00:06:14Do I need your permission to go to the bathroom?
00:06:17Unless you've forgotten
00:06:20The money's out of my pocket
00:06:23Without me you're nothing fuck you and fuck you money I can line up other investors
00:06:30You
00:06:35Don't say
00:06:37That's why you've been waiting three months for your foreign co-producers to come through right there more others who cares
00:06:44I'm not gonna sweat. Of course not with that hodgepodge script. They'll be lining up at your door
00:06:51You don't like it then come up with your own idea and write it yourself
00:07:00You
00:07:09You poor deluded fool 15 minutes of media coverage doesn't make you an artist
00:07:24Yet somehow living off my work these years
00:07:26Has made you a producer
00:07:44He's Hector Mascali my agent he insists I write drivel about thirty-year-olds
00:07:50having nervous breakdowns
00:07:53Maybe he's right
00:07:56I
00:08:08Did you really write your thesis about me? Yeah
00:08:13Why didn't you get in touch with
00:08:16Actually, I tried mr. Sheba, but you never answered my emails. Mr. Sherbert Alex for God's sake
00:08:27I
00:08:30Guess it's time to make amends
00:08:32Why film now?
00:08:34Are you fed up with theater?
00:08:36What difference does it make?
00:08:38I'm gonna give writing a rest try something else
00:08:43Maybe just pure direction. Are you serious?
00:08:46Strange as it may seem come to the conclusion that whatever you write
00:08:52Comes true in the worst way
00:08:57They
00:08:59Make love out of time and place
00:09:03quivering with mutual possession
00:09:05Until they find release in the throes of a simultaneous orgasm
00:09:11writing is like
00:09:13Putting together all of the fragments of a possible future
00:09:18You make a world
00:09:22And do you think I'm crazy
00:09:25No, no, but but
00:09:31Love takes no prisoners
00:09:34Well, it's like that and maybe Moscow is right it's best you change genre
00:09:43Wait here, I'll take care of the bill
00:09:55You
00:10:00Marsha it's me again Jeanette when you get this message. Call me you're still switched off. Ciao

00:10:40And then I wanted to tell her something

00:33:56It's just an audition
00:33:59How did you find out about it over the internet and you yeah me too. I
00:34:07I checked it out. These people don't even have their own sight. There's no mention of them anywhere. I

00:44:47I've done tons of auditions, but like this with nobody from the production nobody taking down your name giving you information
00:44:56Telling you what's up? Who's next? I've never seen anything like it
00:45:01So what relax? What do you care? I mean just imagine if they choose you
