Casting Notice
April 30th, 2009 . by EliasI’m pleased to announce we’ve officially begun casting for our next feature film, and we’re seeking committed non-union actors and actresses for lead and supporting roles. Designed to be the first in a series of psychological thrillers, the script is dialogue/character driven and includes some nudity and violence. Please read the individual character breakdowns for more specific requirements.
**Please note, if a character breakdown lists nudity as a requirement and you are not comfortable with this, then please do not apply for that role.**
Payment for most roles is lo/no/deferred. You will receive copy, credit, transport and meals. We are in the process of seeking additional financing so we can hopefully be able to pay our actors at least reasonable rates for their time. Please keep in mind we’re all working pro bono right now in an effort to put as much of our limited budget on screen, so if your primary goal is monetary this project probably isn’t for you.
Our production team members have worked on many projects over the last 10 years, including features, shorts and music videos. You can check out trailers for a couple of past and present collaborations at the following sites…
