Micronesia\u2019s sprint queen, Yvonne Bennett, will have a minor role in the indie film Twice a Dream that is expected to be released in June next year.<\/p>\n
Bennett, in a letter to her parents, said that she landed the role after auditioning for the part of Monique in two scenes of the film. <\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to find some kind of work for acting and modeling. As I was searching I came across a post for an audition for a film in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the audition date was at the time that I will be in Utah to manage a store temporarily. So I responded to the online post, confirmed my audition time, then started practicing my sides for the audition,\u201d Bennett said.<\/p>\n
Bennett and her twin sister, Yvette, both manage outlets for the national store chain Abercrombie & Fitch.<\/p>\n
According to Bennett, she was the first one to be seen at the audition.<\/p>\n
\u201cI auditioned for the part of Monique. I had two scenes to do in my audition. First one was at a gathering with friends and the second was a dramatic scene. I did the dramatic scene (confronting my dead best friend\u2019s boyfriend about hitting on her sister in front of her grave) a second time, and brought more energy and feeling to it\u2014which I believed was what secured the part for me. Because it was a great audition and I left the audition thinking just that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
About a week and a half later, Bennett received an email from the casting director saying they loved her audition as Monique, and would like to offer her the part. <\/p>\n
\u201cI immediately responded stating my interest and thanked her as well. Currently I am just waiting for all the details about shoot dates and other things. But I will be shooting for about five days for my role as Monique in Salt Lake City,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
The movie is expected to be released on June 2, 2015.<\/p>\n
Ambrose Bennett and Lillian Bennett, parents of Yvonne, are proud of their daughter for acing the audition.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are so glad for her and hopefully some of our youth in the CNMI will be inspired by Yvonne,\u201d Ambrose Bennett said. <\/p>\n
Yvette Bennett, twin sister of Yvonne, won both Miss Idaho USA & Miss Idaho International titles and Shequita Bennett\u2014their oldest sister\u2014is a former Miss Marianas Universe and now a sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
