So being involved in any way in the Avatar movie has been my hope and dream since July 2006, which is over half a year before it was even announced! (I had an idea they were going to do the project as a live action film trilogy) Anyways, my sister and I have been searching everywhere for information and found out the casting agency and stuff three weeks ago. I emailed them with some questions and got no response whatsoever. So today I decided to call the agency and I asked about what they are looking for in a video audition, because it was said that there were no "open casting calls" The man I talked to said that they do not accept unsolicited entries which means basically, if you have no agent who can recommend you to the casting agency, then your hopes and dreams (like mine) are screwed and over. So what I think thats what they mean by no open casting call, which is disappointing really because I've wanted to have the opportunity to participate in this for so long, and I really am a talented actress. My parents just refuse to allow me to be represented by and agency because we live in Ohio. But also they have refused the idea of moving to LA or NYC. rather a lose-lose situation for me. I have no idea about extras or whatever....and man I just really wish it wasn't this way. I mean they said they wanted fresh new talent, so why does it have to be talent that has an agency? How about talent who has never had the chance or access to an agency because their parents decided to plant them in the middle of nowhere? haha come to think of it, my sisters and I wrote a letter to Shyamalan like last Feb/March asking just that, that he make this an opportunity for talented fans who really want to take a part in this. I have no idea if he got the letter. But even so I'm sad Yea I'm quite silly in the measures I take, but I want to be an actress and I think a fitting start would have been to be involved in the production of something that is really close to my heart and hits home for me.

Sorry about the lack of updates as well, I've been very busy!

Disappointed and dejected,

P.S. Sokka and Aang have already been supposedly cast, Ether Brent and Jonathon Nguyen respectively.
