Production Crew

The auditions ended with a flurry of activity as actors gathered their belongings. Some chatted excitedly, while others left quietly, lost in their thoughts. Marcos, Ricardo's sharp and efficient secretary, oversaw everything, keeping a careful eye on each performance. He held a clipboard, making notes after every audition, his expression serious and focused.

"Some good talent today," Katherine Lee, the casting director, said, stretching her shoulders to relieve the tension. She glanced at Marcos as she flipped through her notes. "A few surprises too. What do you think?"

Marcos nodded briefly, barely looking up. "Agreed. Some showed promise, especially for the lead roles."

Michael Zhen, the stunt coordinator, who had been watching the auditions critically, added, "Not just promise. I need to see if they can move, really handle the physical stuff. Acting's one thing, but if they can't keep up with the stunts, it's a waste of time."
