The chatacters of the story from Left to right:

I just finished Henrietta’s makeup, and now she’s ready to perform. She was my last one. First I did Jack’s makeup then Linda and Henrietta was the last one.
Today, Henrietta had to kill two birds with one stone. First, we shot her scenes for Soulbound Shadows, then moved on to her scenes for Ghostware. The poor girl got freezing cold. She asked me a couple of times, “Maria, why aren’t you cold?” I responded, “I am from the Norse and am used to cold weather.”
Working with Henrietta was fun. She was collaborative and did her best to deliver a good performance. She was very kind and immediately became friends with everybody. Then again, I always choose a team that I know will be kind, compassionate, and understanding.
I see a bright future for Henrietta. She has a gift for becoming successful—I can see it in her. I’ve liked her since way back in 2020, and I’m glad I chose the right person. I discussed my next project with her, but we’ll come back to it when I have the funds to proceed.
Henrietta waved at Jack, and he waved back. Now that’s what I call a hell of a signal!
Jack is quiet and patient, extremely kind and polite. He always has a smile on his face, which I love about him. He’s always prepared. In another project, he played an angel and delivered a long monologue while performing under the scorching sun, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. I enjoy having him in my projects, and so far, this is the third one he’s been part of.
There you go, Henrietta agian with Linda-Jean! Just kidding,
Linda Jean is amazing. I fell in love with her back in 2019 when she expressed interest in working with me. I admired her ambition and asked her to send an audition tape. She did, and we formed a bond. Then COVID-19 happened, and we had to halt everything. Once I was ready, I asked her back, and since then she has been in my last two projects. I want her in all my projects. She is a talented actress with excellent behind-the-scenes manners and communication skills. Such a lovely lady.
