TCOM Summer HD Film Casting Call!

Attention all actor types!

Ball State’s Tcom department is producing another high definition feature length film this summer and we need actors!

The Tcom summer HD film program has produced such films as Grove Lake and Freewall. We are looking to take the program to the next level this summer with the comedic horror Blood, Bath and Beyond, with the goal of national straight to DVD distribution!

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. In order to audition, email bsufilm@gmail.com to request an audition time. Each appointment is for ten minutes. Please send me what time you are available within the following times:

Monday, March 30
1 PM – 5 PM
AC 314

Tuesday, March 31
7 PM – 12 AM
AC 312

Once you email bsufilm@gmail.com I will email you back with an appointment time, selections from the script to read, and a copy of the working script (the script is not fully written yet, and is still subject to several rewrites before shooting.)

Callbacks will happen Wednesday evening. If you cannot make callbacks just let me know at the audition and we’ll figure something out.

Blood, Bath and Beyond centers around a group of screenwriters attempting to craft the next horror masterpiece. Stuck in a rut, they decide to each tell a story to get the creative juices flowing. Each of these stories become their own short film, telling the story of a tattoo artist who refuses to let his work walk away, a home schooled girl who happily lives alone with her two preserved parents, an incompetent boy too in love with zombies to save the neighborhood, and an old lady who finds a new purpose in life when her husband becomes (literally) fertilizer.

The film is an ensemble piece, with many roles spread throughout the picture for every type. The film will be filmed both summer semesters (ten weeks total), however, most roles would not require you to be here for the entirety of filming. There is a possibility of double casting, which would then require the double cast actor to be filming for a longer period of time. Once cast, you will receive a schedule before the summer begins so that you can plan housing and work arrangements around shooting.

Any questions or concerns let me know! Just email bsufilm@gmail.com.

I look forward to seeing you at auditions!

Thanks,

Dan Finnen
(Your humble director)
