Should I be prepared to wait in line for 3 days? Is there someone to bribe? Give the the inside details, as I don’t think my story is compelling enough to be picked.

You show a lot of personality in the video, and talk about adversity – things the casting likes to see. You have a real shot at getting to run. Yes, I will see you at the tryouts one way or another.

Interesting you are a patent attorney. I may need to get together with you on that someday. quirky.com has chosen 3 inventions of mine and has ripped me off each time!

In regards to the video, here is the link:

I put it together real quick. Next year I am going all out on the video and stunts. Hope to see you in Venice! Or should I say, see you in Venice as I too will walk on if necessary.

Great meeting another 40+ ninja wannabe in Oregon; thought I was all alone in that regard. I didn’t post my video on YouTube, I wasn’t sure if that was ok with Canan without a release (first time at this). I come from an unusual background – I’m a patent lawyer who has done urban climbing (climbing buildings, bridges, signs, etc.) and freerunning for about 30 years. I doubt there’s anyone quite like me who’s every tried out for ANW. Of course we are all individuals, so I’d be very happy to view your submission video if it’s posted somewhere. And yes, I’ll walk on if not picked (thanks for the inspiration, Matt!)

Well, even if I don’t get a call, you have inspired me Matt to go for the dreaded walk on! I will be in Venice 4/5/6th. Fingers and toes crossed for the call.

Also, they allegedly will also announce all the cities and dates tomorrow. Of course, they have a far-from-perfect record of meeting deadlines they set for themselves 😉

I am also in the 40+ category. I am not trying to get on ANW to just take it off my bucket list, I am honestly, like most, in it to win it. And I feel that I can do everything well except maybe for stage 3 of finals looks impossible!

Did you post your submission video on youtube?

Maybe means none were picked, or maybe means casting is still culling videos and cutting it close. No sense pondering it too hard, as the Dao teaches, what will be will be.
