Forget what you're used to seeing...
Interested in being a part of Greyscale (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1321390/)? While the film has reached picture lock, there is now an opportunity for three new roles!
SCENARIO: Within the film there is a scene where a character named Winston is watching his beloved TV show when he is interrupted by the main protagonist, Oliver. We start out on a long dolly shot of Winston in his house before we reach him and see that he is watching TV. We hear an exciting Sci-Fi show with three characters bantering in the background, and it’s on for about 30 seconds before Winston is interrupted by Oliver arriving and he turns the show off.
NOTE: This is a SAG contracted project, and since we have locked picture, we have finished our work with the Screen Actors Guild. We are not averse to reopening talks with them, but since this is just :30, we’d need a good reason to go through the paperwork again. Unless you are SAG, all pay is deferred at $100 per role and immediate IMDb credit on an already established film.
ROLES:
“Cap’n” - Male, 20s-50s, His ship is under attack and he’s trying to keep everything under control by ordering around his crew.
“Hobbes” - Male, 20s-30s, The pilot who is doing everything he can to ensure that the ship isn’t going down.
“Ariel” - Female, 20s-30s, The first mate who is talking to the Captain and Hobbes via an intercom, reporting that they’re being boarded while she’s trying to fight off intruders.
The Audition Process:
I will be accepting auditions online however you can get them to me, whether you post it to Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, e-mail me the video or an .mp3 (granted, the largest attachment I can accept is 25mb).
First, download the sides (the whole scene, essentially) at http://greyscalemovie.com/greyscalescifisides.pdf
Second, if you are local to the Tulsa area, I will accept any quality recording (but those with access to good recording equipment will be preferred, but an excellent performance would warrant meeting with the actor to record their voice on our equipment. If you are not local, then we will need you to have access to quality recording equipment so you can send in the final performance to include in the film.)
Feel free to e-mail any and all questions to casting@greyscalemovie.com or post them on our Facebook page. Once you have posted your audition somewhere, send us an e-mail with a link as to where we can hear it.
*EDIT* The deadline for submissions is January 8th at 10pm CST. *EDIT*
Hope to be hearing from you soon!
Regards,
Ryan Dunlap
Writer/Director/Producer of Greyscale
Trivia: The show pays homage to a certain FOX show that was canceled vey quickly back in ‘02, and Oliver mentions that all of Winston’s shows wind up getting canceled, and Winston has hope for this show, even though they play the episodes out of order and preempt it with sports events…
