On Monday morning, the Gray Company was busier than usual, as the film crew renting the entire floor had many minor roles to audition actors for.
People from the production team had been arriving in Atlanta, but before producer Steve Golin showed up, Louise Mel was the one calling the shots here.
Director Michel Gondry, a Frenchman with average qualifications and achievements, was closer to being the overall commander of the film set.
After the morning meeting, Louise reminded the casting director, "The actor I mentioned, pay special attention to him."
"I understand." Richard wasn't new to this and knew what she meant.
The crew hired staff in Atlanta and also planned to recruit a group of actors for minor roles, which could save them a considerable amount of labor costs.
Richard quickly headed to the audition room, and just as he rounded the corner of the hallway, Lynn, temporarily employed by the Gray Company, came to him: "Director Richard."
