Many of the characters appear in the film as if they are being interviewed, essentially performing a monologue for the camera as they describe the events. We are accepting all applications, but also looking to schedule in-person auditions for the weekend of March 8th and 9th. We still have some openings, so please reach out and we can schedule an in-person audition.
