“For me, auditions are the magic turning point in the filmmaking process. It’s when the script we’ve been developing for months and months starts to take on a reality. It’s one thing to see the scenes on the page or in your head, it’s quite another to see talented actors bring it to life.
With Newton’s Cradle, we’ve done a few staged readings of the script along the way. They were quite helpful in spotting what did and didn’t work it terms of pacing, dialogue, structure, etc. But it’s not until auditions that you really see the characters come to life. When a skilled performer has taken time to prepare their interpretation, the results can sometimes be stunning, even with material you’ve known backwards and forwards on the page for months.”
