Saturday, just after noon — I had finished delivering the last of the Comstock Chronicle and Dayton Valley Dispatch. My truck broke down, so I could not finish it the day before.
Driving up Six-mile Canyon, I happened on a woman in a small car with a flat tire. Knowing what it is like to wait for service, I pulled over and offered to help her, which she happily accepted.
During our few minutes by the side of the road and her car, I learned she was in the Comstock scouting locations for an upcoming dystopian film and looking for local talent. I told her about all the actors Virginia City had working in it, especially at the Cowboy Show next to the Storey County Fire Museum.
She gave me her card and asked if I had ever done any acting. Boy, I was glad she asked.
After I listed all my various film gigs, she told me to make a short audition video and email it to her, which I have. Now, we wait.
