Hi Todd! I just posted a casting call that I think you might be great for if you're willing to drive down to the Springs a few times. It's posted on the noticeboard if you're interested, or you can e-mail me for more info!

Thanks Todd! Just let me know!

Hello there! I just joined here. Please check out my profile and add me as a friend here please if you like! I am in Denver now but will be in Florida till Spring. I am looking for local films to get involved with. I also own a full studio just north of Tampa Florida if you ever shoot out there let me know! I will put up photos soon.

Good morning! Thank you for adding me here. I added a bunch of films to my profile, what ya think? I am back in Florida now till spring. ;)

Tod. “Skeletons” is a story about family, devotion, art, crime,
guilt, bad habits, and the way we cling to our kin like anchors in the ocean of life’s craziness. The film opens at a memorial service for the character of Alex, and is interspersed with flashbacks and snippets of home videos taken over the years.

AUDITIONS: Wednesday October 14th, 7pm – 9pm at the John Hand Theater, Room 206.

SHOOT DATES: Sunday October 25th, noon to 4pm, and Tuesday October 27th 4pm – 10pm.
Gary Otte will act as DP on the project, which will be shot on Hi-Def DV.
*There will also be a casual, partly-improvised shoot for a “home video” of a Cain family Christmas party to be scheduled in November. The date of this shoot is more flexible since we’ll be filming on a mini-DV camcorder, and can be scheduled around cast members’ conflicts.

Location: The home of Sara and Jeremiah Michael, 5785 S. Lakeview St. in Littleton, 80120

Rehearsal Dates: I am willing to work around actors’ schedules, but the days I have set aside for rehearsals are Sun Oct 18th thru Thurs Oct 22nd, so all actors must have some availability within that time frame.
Info/Conflict sheets will be supplied at auditions.

CHARACTERS:

Holly: 30’s, an artist, single, independent, outspoken and fiercely protective of her siblings.
Tom: brother to Holly and Jill, late 20s, a writer for a hip men’s magazine, a quick-witted cad with a big heart.
Jill: sister to Holly and Tom, 30s, strong in her faith in God, a bit emotionally repressed but extremely kind, intelligent and giving - would give you the shirt off her back, with a small sermon tucked into the pocket.
Alex: Her husband, 40s, a chronic out-of-work alcoholic who has allowed hopelessness to take over, often taking it out on Jill. Killed in a drunk-driving accident, he is presented in the “home videos” section of the film only.
Jean: Their mother, 50s-late 60s, also strong in her faith, kind and loving, a rock to her family
Sam: Their father, 60s – 70s, handsome, with a small-time criminal past and an infectious charm that hides a sociopathic nature
Wanda: Their cousin, 20s, funky, has no reservations about saying the word “dildo” at a memorial service.
Mark: Her boyfriend, 20s-30s
Katy: Alex’s sister, 30s, a small-town woman, remorseful about not being there enough for her brother, feels guilt over his death.
Donna: Alex’s mother, 60s – 70s, a tired woman, stunned and confused over her son’s death.
Friends and Family: Guests at Alex’s memorial service, as well as Christmas party guests in the “home video” portion of the film.


d,
I am auditioning for an indie short called "Skeletons" -- would like you to audition if you're interested.
Here's the skinny:

Hello, I'm a student filmmaker looking for talented middle-aged men and women (or can at least portray parents of a teenager) for a short comedy. It'll be an easy quick shoot full of laughs with an experienced crew. Good for demo reels and resume's. We're shooting Nov 13th, 14th, and 15th so I need to find some good cast members as soon as possible. Please message me if you're interested or have more questions. Thank you! :-)

Thank you so much for replying, sorry you cant make it, but i was happy you let me know. So many people just leave me hanging and that sucks for them cuz we students pass that info around, lol. Good luck to you, maybe you'll hear from me again in the future.

Cool, hit me up when you come into town.
