COME ON DOWN

Posted on July 27, 2010

Philadelphia-area Production Company is currently looking for principal actors/comedians for a comedy pilot to be shot in late August / early September.

The comedy pilot (a no-laugh track sitcom in the vein of "Arrested Development" and "30 Rock") focuses on a pair of maladjusted soap opera writers who are fired from their cushy daytime gig and unintentionally find success in basic cable after creating a terrible, terrible game show.

The goal of this production is to submit the pilot to various agents, networks, and comedy festivals. This is a non-paying gig that is intended for pitching the series (and it's stars) for a full season cable network series. This is a great opportunity to get some of Philly's funniest together, and could really be a great opportunity for everyone involved.

Auditions will be held at the Walking Fish Theatre in Philadelphia, PA on August 4th from 7:30-10:30PM.

If you or someone you know live in the Philadelphia / Lehigh Valley area and would be interested in auditioning, please contact Curt Riedy to submit your resume/online acting reel and confirm an audition time.

AUDITION - August 4th @ Walking Fish Theatre, Philadelphia PA

Feature Film - Anomie Inflection Point

Posted on April 11, 2010

Actors needed for a micro-budget feature film to shoot from May through august this coming summer.

Part tribute, part satire, the film will aim to paint an exaggerated landscape of Philly-s artistic youth demographic, whose future diverges into success and self-destruction, meaning and self-indulgence. The multiple-threaded loose narrative is broken up by short "interview segments," monologues inspired by real conversations with friends and acquaintances.

We realize that our casting may facilitate negative racial stereotypes. The film comments on racial and economic divisions in urban life. We have chosen to address these divisions head-on rather than ignore them.

Roles needed (ages are not set in stone):

Noah - 20-23 year old college student. White. Preferably athletic.

Gabe - 20-23 year old college sutdent. African American. Preferably athletic.

Meredith - 18-22 college student. White. Small build.

Madeline - 20-23 college student. Any race. Unique look.

Juliet - 20-23 college student. Any race.

Corey - 20-23 college student. White. Eccentric.

Matt - 20-23 college student. Any race. Eccentric.

Belden - 20-28 post-college. Any race. The epidemy of cool!

Vince - 20-28 post-college. White. Preferably tall.

Aaron - 20-28 post-college. Jewish look.

Gemma - 30-40 upper-class businesswoman. White.

Sol - 30-40 upper-class businessman. White.

Gene - 30 and up. upper class businessman. Any race.

Nameless bum - 30 and up. African American. Male.

Kion - 25 and up. African American. Male. Drug dealer.

Cop 1 - 30 and up. Male. Preferably White.

Cop 2 - 30 and up. Male. Preferably White.
