This week Elizabeth finds still more lessons in the “still waiting” process while Angie continues to work on her rapidly approaching end-of-July film experiment, wondering if she’s procrastinating or gathering from a variety of sources. They discuss how it is different to be on the side of a “judge” rather than of the person submitting writing to a contest or an actor standing an audition, the one who, hat in hand, responds to the call. The judge is not looking for submission of what the applicant thinks the judge wants to see; the judge is in fact looking for the core of what the applicant is giving them. Authenticity.
