From High School to the Lead Role in One More Game | Mindset, Opportunity, Action | Petar Manic (Part 1)

Bad English Podcast 002 - Petar Manic (Part 1 of 3)When we started casting "One More Game," our biggest fear was finding a 16-year-old in Macedonia who could carry the lead role. Then Petar Manic walked into the audition — and walked out as Martin.In Part 1 of this three-part conversation, myself and Nick Jensen sit down with the lead of our film to talk about how it all came together. Petar was born in 2006, broke his leg shooting his first feature at 13, and had so much confidence walking into our audition that he forgot he was auditioning at all.We get into:The call from his mentor Vesna Petruševska that set everything in motionWalking into the audition with no nerves and walking out with the roleBalancing a 21-day shoot with high school (and the teacher who made it possible)Shooting in a 200-year-old house older than the United StatesWhy he isolated himself at his grandpa's three days before filming beganThe three words that drove him through every single day on set: MINDSET. OPPORTUNITY. ACTION.This is the kind of conversation we built Bad English for. Real people. Real stories. No filter.
