Will didn't hesitate too much before signing Marcus for the role. There wasn't much time left in the audition, and he was the only one who ticked all the qualities that the young director was looking for.

His vibe was just perfect, and his acting was way better than he had initially thought.

On the other hand, Marcus couldn't believe that he had passed the audition.

"I really passed! You are not joking, right?"

He asked, his face showing disbelief as his eyes roamed at Will, June and John.

"Yes, congratulations! Welcome to the team of [The Blair Witch Project]. I hope we will work well together."

Will said and shook Marcus's hands.

The black guy looked tough, always stood uptight and didn't say anything, but at this moment, he wasn't able to control his emotions.

That 15k will help his family a lot, and it was the first time he had passed an audition. And it was even for a lead role.

His mom would surely cry hearing this.

For a while, Marcus just sat there and tried to take in the fact that he was now the leading man of a movie.

Suddenly, he stood up and took out his phone.

"I'm sorry, but I need to inform my family about this."

"It's fine. After talking, just come here and give me your number, and we can sign the contract tomorrow."

Marcus nodded and went outside to call. June smiled next to Will, seeing this.

"We got a nice lead."

"Yeah. Now, we only need an actor for the role of Micheal."

Micheal Williams was the third lead of [The Blair Witch Project], and he was also the character that was the last to die. At the movie's start, he would be a comic relief character, but as the movie becomes more and more horrifying, he will lose himself and break down.

This character needed a good actor with both comic timing and a wide range of emotions.

It was really hard to find an actor to play Micheal, but Will's luck was not bad.

As Marcus called his family, a guy slowly walked inside the cafe in a suit. For a moment, Will thought that he was an office worker, but when he walked up to him, he realised that it was an actor here to audition.

"Um, hello. I'm Zach Dickson, and I'm here for the audition. It's not over, right?"

The guy said as he scratched his head, worried that he was too late. But June suddenly laughed out loud hearing his nickname.

It was just that Dickson was a rare yet funny nickname, and she wasn't able to control herself.

"I'm sorry, really sorry."

She apologised and waved her hand. Her laugh turned into a thin smile as she looked at Zach.

"Anyway, you are not late. Let's start the audition."

"Okay."

Zach said and hastily sat down while Will looked over his portfolio. He felt surprised that Zach had already been a part of quite a few famous blockbusters, but those roles were of extras.

This was a good thing as it meant he already had the experience of being on a film set.

"So, Zach, what attracted you to try for this role?" Will asked, still looking through the portfolio.

"Um, the money was the first thing that attracted my attention." He smiled. "The next thing was that it's going to be a unique movie. I have never seen a movie that has been completely shot in first-person narrative, and it made me want to be a part of it at least."

Will was satisfied with that answer, and he started asking some more questions. In the end, he asked Zach to act out a scenario.

"Imagine that your friend has been killed mysteriously. You feel really guilty because of this, but you suddenly hear a strange sound and break down at that moment. Act this out."

Zach was surprised with this scenario straightly, but he nodded his head.

"Give me 10, no, 5 minutes."

"Take your time."

Will leaned down in his seat and waited for Zach's performance. His portfolio has already impressed him, and he felt like Zach was going to be perfect for Micheal's character.

'I really hope this is it.'

He wished in his heart, and it was then that Zach's performance began. His body suddenly started shaking, and a painful expression appeared on his face like he was feeling grief over something and was guilty because of it.

Suddenly, he jerked his head like he had heard a strange sound.

Zach bit down on his lips and put his hand on his heart like he was trying to calm himself down. But it didn't work as a tear slowly rolled down from his eyes.

The performance ended there, and Will couldn't help but clap out loud.

"It was perfect!! You got the role!"

"What? Really?"

Zach wasn't able to believe it. After wiping the teardrop from his face, he started dancing weirdly in the cafe. He completely forgot that he was in a public place and just jumped around everywhere.

June could not help but giggle seeing this behaviour.

"He's like me after I got my first role."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it was a small role, but I was really excited about it. We have most of the cast now."

Will smiled hearing that and took a deep breath.

John came up to him at that moment and patted his shoulder.

"You got a good group of actors here, Will. Trust me; these are quite talented. Let's do the contract stuff tomorrow, and don't forget to invite me to the premiere!"

John said and laughed.

"I won't. Thanks for your help today."

"Call me again next time too."

Now that he had finished the casting, finding a small crew and starting the shooting was left.

He already had an idea of how he would get a crew. So, Will couldn't wait till he got to the shooting part.
