Utah-Dark Comedy casting
This is all the info. Craze has let us know if booked!
Casting Call for Dark Comedy short film
Hello!
We are a close-knit group of friends looking to cast talented
individuals for our 18-20 minute microbudget DARK COMEDY flick targeted
for the Viewster Online Film Festival (VOFF). Sadly, we're poor folk and
we do not have the funds to compensate financially; however, we have
scraped and scrounged enough to provide scrumptious meals, and glorious
4k RED footage for your reel. We will also be pursuing IMDB credit for
all cast and crew so booyah! Extensive and/or professional experience is
not required but dependability and the capacity to follow directions is
(because it sucks when a person is late and it's hot outside and
everyone has to wait and... jeez.)
Shooting dates will be scheduled between February 7-16 and specific dates will be scheduled based on cast and crew availability.
NOTE: Most supporting characters should only require one shoot day.
***** Without further ado, here is the casting info:
