Meeting Jonathan

Louise put a notice out on a website called StarNow which is a site for actors to put their profiles on for acting jobs. We were successful and had a response from Jonathan who is in his early 40's and lived about 40 mins away from Sheffield and has had a lot of experience working on student films which made us all feel more comfortable. He came to the uni for a meeting with us so we could show him the script and get to know him. Another thing he told Louise about was that he actually used to suffer from panic attacks, which he didn't mind talking to us about and using his experiences for the film. When we met him we didn't want to bring up the fact he used to suffer from them himself as we weren't sure if it would be rude or not, however it was one of the first things Jonathan talked to us about which was good as he is clearly comfortable about it to talk to us about. He was also able to help out with a lot of the props we needed and was available at the times we preferably want to film which was great. He will be supplying his own food but would like travel expenses to be paid which is completely fair as he does have a while to travel here. Overall we are looking forward to working with him.
