CASTING FLANKING THE SENTINEL, FEATURE FILM, MARYLAND
Crimson Chain Productions is casting for the feature film, "Flanking the Sentinel," shooting in Mount Airy/ Frederick County, MD. Director: Adam Frey. Synopsis: 'Flanking The Sentinel' (current working title), is a Civil War based historical fiction. A very fast-paced production - Shooting starts at the end of June and runs thru July, with a few makeup dates in late August and September. Shooting on the weekends only. If you have never acted before, do not apply for this film - this film is too intense for beginners. The schedule is extremely fast-paced, and the entire film takes place outside. So, thusly, we need professionals who can perform under pressure AND in the heat of summer. We are an Independent Film Company, but cannot meet the SAG or AFTRA standards. We will pay actors a meager sum, as well as feed them on set. You may be asking yourself, "I wonder how much they're paying?" Let's put it like this: If you're worried about the money, it's probably not enough for you! We are doing this as a Labor of Love only; we love to make films, and work hard at our craft. Seeking: Two Males, 20s - 30s. We are looking for (reasonably local) male actors with a castable age of 20s to 30s to play the two main characters. The actors should be lean, but not necessarily "buff". The roles will be tough to play (it's a tragic drama), so if you're ready for an acting challenge, this is your chance!

The Occasional Theatre is accepting photos and resumes for Night. NYC appointment auditions: June 12-14. To be considered, please send headshot/ resume to: Judy Bowman Casting 140 Cabrini Blvd #10 New York, NY 10033 The Occasional Theatre Equity Showcase approval pending. Writer: Philip Gerson Director: Michael Lilly Casting Director: Judy Bowman Casting 1st rehearsal: July 11, 2007. Runs as part of FringeNYC: On/about August 10 - 26 (five- eight performances). World premiere. Synopsis: Contemporary urban characters face fear, loss and the true meaning of love in this dramatic, whimsical story of three couples at different stages in their lives over the course of one night in NYC. The youngest couple marries; the bride instantly gets cold feet and runs away. Nearby, a middle-aged couple's plans to celebrate their 20th anniversary are disrupted, revealing deeper fractures in their relationship. And at a midtown gym, two 30something singles meet, seemingly by accident, and turn out to be just what the other needs, but is afraid to face. The characters' journeys intersect with one another, and with a mysterious elderly woman who may or may not be a ghost, until finally by dawn each has confronted the hollow existence of their life and begun to unlock the fear that has kept them there. Seeking: Peter: Man, mid 30s-early 40s, any ethnicity. Very successful realtor. Type A, ambitious, driven, workaholic. "Mr. Big" personality: quick-witted, charming, handsome, can get into any restaurant, club or girl's bed. Lacks meaning in life, commitment in relationships. It's catching up with him. Enormously generous but equally demanding - works 24/7, expects everyone who works for him to as well. Well-meaning but screwed up. Samantha: Woman, 30s, any ethnicity. Transformational, charismatic; has a quality all her own. Magnetic, engaging, haunting -- once you meet her you never forget her. Spent most of her life living in an old mansion taking care of her grandmother; that has imprinted an old-fashioned quality upon her, which makes her sensuality surprising. Actress also plays Mrs. Jones and Old Lady, two elderly female characters. Mrs. Jones is revealed to be Samantha's grandmother -- an ancient, but still sexy, wealthy woman with a unique blend of humor, bite and wisdom. All three of these roles are refractions of the same life-force woman. Clare: Woman, mid-late 40s, any ethnicity. Struggling in her suburban marriage to Dave. Loves him, but feels she gave up her youthful ambition (to be an artist) to become a wife/mother. Now their kids are grown; she wants to move back into the city to regain her youth. High-end travel agent (Peter is her best client), which means being available 24/7. She doesn't mind, and will sacrifice her anniversary date with her husband if it means scoring points to help her get back into the city. Dave: Man, mid 40s - early 50s, any ethnicity. In a huge mid-life crisis, in enormous pain. Recently lost his job to downsizing; his youngest child (a boy who didn't turn out the way Dave wanted) has just left the house; his wife Clare has become the sole breadwinner. Reacts with a short fuse and a wandering eye. Has constructed his life to avoid thinking about a life- altering childhood tragedy; that wall is starting to crumble. Good guy in a bad place. Ana: Latina, 20s. Marries Billy, but panics and becomes a runaway bride. Attractive, smart, hardworking and confident. Went through hell to emigrate from Latin America; her childhood poverty haunts her. Worked her way up from a laundromat to a fancy real-estate office; she is Peter's assistant and a Realtor-in-training. Loves Billy but realizes that he's not onboard with her huge need for upward mobility. Billy: Caucasian man, mid- late 20s. Sweet, genuine, comfortable in his own skin. Good guy with no ambition whatsoever except to have the family he never had as a kid. Grew up in a lower-middle-class family the youngest of many brothers; took care of them and his alcoholic mother. Brothers led him into a life of minor crime; he took the rap for them. Now a sous-chef in a hot restaurant, and a totally regular guy. Ana is the girl of his dreams.

World premiere. Synopsis: Contemporary urban characters face fear, loss and the true meaning of love in this dramatic, whimsical story of three couples at different stages in their lives over the course of one night in NYC. The youngest couple marries; the bride instantly gets cold feet and runs away. Nearby, a middle-aged couple's plans to celebrate their 20th anniversary are disrupted, revealing deeper fractures in their relationship. And at a midtown gym, two 30something singles meet, seemingly by accident, and turn out to be just what the other needs, but is afraid to face. The characters' journeys intersect with one another, and with a mysterious elderly woman who may or may not be a ghost, until finally by dawn each has confronted the hollow existence of their life and begun to unlock the fear that has kept them there. Seeking: Peter: Man, mid 30s-early 40s, any ethnicity. Very successful realtor. Type A, ambitious, driven, workaholic. "Mr. Big" personality: quick-witted, charming, handsome, can get into any restaurant, club or girl's bed. Lacks meaning in life, commitment in relationships. It's catching up with him. Enormously generous but equally demanding - works 24/7, expects everyone who works for him to as well. Well-meaning but screwed up. Samantha: Woman, 30s, any ethnicity. Transformational, charismatic; has a quality all her own. Magnetic, engaging, haunting -- once you meet her you never forget her. Spent most of her life living in an old mansion taking care of her grandmother; that has imprinted an old-fashioned quality upon her, which makes her sensuality surprising. Actress also plays Mrs. Jones and Old Lady, two elderly female characters. Mrs. Jones is revealed to be Samantha's grandmother -- an ancient, but still sexy, wealthy woman with a unique blend of humor, bite and wisdom. All three of these roles are refractions of the same life-force woman. Clare: Woman, mid-late 40s, any ethnicity. Struggling in her suburban marriage to Dave. Loves him, but feels she gave up her youthful ambition (to be an artist) to become a wife/mother. Now their kids are grown; she wants to move back into the city to regain her youth. High-end travel agent (Peter is her best client), which means being available 24/7. She doesn't mind, and will sacrifice her anniversary date with her husband if it means scoring points to help her get back into the city. Dave: Man, mid 40s - early 50s, any ethnicity. In a huge mid-life crisis, in enormous pain. Recently lost his job to downsizing; his youngest child (a boy who didn't turn out the way Dave wanted) has just left the house; his wife Clare has become the sole breadwinner. Reacts with a short fuse and a wandering eye. Has constructed his life to avoid thinking about a life- altering childhood tragedy; that wall is starting to crumble. Good guy in a bad place. Ana: Latina, 20s. Marries Billy, but panics and becomes a runaway bride. Attractive, smart, hardworking and confident. Went through hell to emigrate from Latin America; her childhood poverty haunts her. Worked her way up from a laundromat to a fancy real-estate office; she is Peter's assistant and a Realtor-in-training. Loves Billy but realizes that he's not onboard with her huge need for upward mobility. Billy: Caucasian man, mid- late 20s. Sweet, genuine, comfortable in his own skin. Good guy with no ambition whatsoever except to have the family he never had as a kid. Grew up in a lower-middle-class family the youngest of many brothers; took care of them and his alcoholic mother. Brothers led him into a life of minor crime; he took the rap for them. Now a sous-chef in a hot restaurant, and a totally regular guy. Ana is the girl of his dreams.
