Detective Jones
Music Video, 2014
Casting call
As far as crazy castings go, the story behind this one still wins. I saw this crazy charismatic girl dancing at a night club and months later started basing my main character on her. As the screenplay developed, I started thinking about how great it would be to try to find her again, somehow.
On a random afternoon, my friend called and asked the description for my dream star, then confirmed she was on the tram with him. He hanged up, ran out, entered a building, climbed the second floor, knocked three times. When a bunch of girls opened, he had a hard time explaning the reason for his visit. After mentioning his friend, me, wanted to potentially talk to her about starring in a music video, the girl appeared out of the back, confessed
she was actually a dancing student, accepted the
invitation for coffee and later went on to lead
the story with charisma from beyond.
Thanks Ivana.
