Casting Actors for "Insanity in 5 Acts" Short Film

Actors needed for "Insanity in 5 Acts" short film. Please, see more details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: When best friends Shawna and Tara arrive for what seems like a straightforward audition, they’re thrust into a nightmare of increasingly bizarre improv scenarios. The director barks absurd commands from the darkness while their scene partner, Dave, crashes every take, a complete and utter buffoon from start to finish. Shawna’s immediately over it. Tara, on the other hand, is determined to white-knuckle a role out of this audition no matter how much humiliation it demands. As the “audition” spirals into pure chaos, with Dave’s interruptions growing more unhinged and the director’s prompts more incomprehensible, Tara finally snaps. But nothing is what it seems, and this theatrical mindfuck gives Tara precisely the sort of cathartic destruction she didn’t know she needed. Sometimes the best way to help a friend is to let them burn it all down. Rate: All roles pay a flat fee of $100. Credit, copy, and demo reel footage will be provided. Additional info: This is a single-location self-funded indie film that will film in Dallas, TX. Rehearsal is planned for mid-October. Shooting in early November; ~4 hours for a 15-minute film. See the sides attached. When applying, please send your headshot, demo reel, and self-tape.
