We are casting for a Coronavirus inspired project, a COMEDY about a struggling film producer who needs to get all cast and crew members of his latest project to a secluded location before a full lockdown is implemented throughout the country and he has only one day to do so. The whole story unfolds through a series of VIDEO CALLS, so it is very much an acting oriented feature and all actors will be recording from their HOME…
All actors will also be provided with a PRO WEBCAM and a PRO MIC as well as getting PAID MINIMUM WAGE plus an EXTRA calculated by the number of lines they have on the script. All the actors involved will need to have a FAST INTERNET CONNECTION. The recording will take place in a week’s time in JANUARY, a week yet to be determined, upon completion of a successful FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN. which will take place in December.
