CASTING CALL – “AWAKENING” – CHARLESTON SC

*NON-UNION, PAID $150/12*

ABOUT THE PROJECT: Seeking to fill two roles for an upcoming short fan film project. After the success of our video game feature film Livescream, we’re now tackling a video game fan film to reach some new fans. This film is based in the world of Detroit: Become Human, but you don’t need any familiarity with the game to apply. When complete, this will mostly be a web exclusive for our YouTube channel, but we’ll be submitting it to a few genre-friendly festivals as well.
ABOUT THE SHOOT: Will be a one-day shoot, this February 2019, in Charleston SC. We will accept applications from those outside Charleston, but the actor would be responsible for their own travel and lodging.

COMPENSATION: $150/12hr for one day of shooting. Will of course include three meals, copy of the film, and credit on both IMDB and in the film.

SEEKING…

[REED] – Mid thirties – Caucasian – Male – Dark Hair. Looking for a somewhat athletic build and someone who can portray a short temper and penchant for sarcasm. A gruff detective character straddling the line between being sincere and being a bit of a jerk.

[NINES] – Late twenties/Early thirties – Caucasian – Male – Dark Hair. Must have blue or gray eyes. Looking for a slender build and someone who can behave robotically and intellectually. A newly sentient android who is discovering what it means to be alive.

TO APPLY: If interested, please send a headshot, your height, your location, and any relevant clips/reel you may have, to michelle@aethermotion.com. Please put [CASTING – AWAKENING – YOUR NAME HERE] in the subject of the email. We will be in touch with audition details soon, if we’re interested!
