Casting Call for the artist “Illz” for “ In between Us” Off the Pursuit LP
http://theillz. bandcamp. com/track/ in-between- us
After months of recording, the highly anticipated "The Pursuit LP" is finally here. Hip-Hop artist The ILLZ delivers 11 solid tracks, all with their own unique, emotional journeys. Fans will recognize internet sensations "Heaven (Higher)" and "Melfi", as well as "Prelude to the Sickness" featured on DJBooth.net' s freestyle series. In true ILLZ fashion, the album is a mix of eclectic, alternative/ rock-tinged beats with a few surprises thrown into the mix, such as the New York club-scene flavored, "Let it Fall" and the gritty, Hip-Hop underground track "Dark Side of the Room". Fans and skeptics alike will see a wide range of emotion, depth of character, and full spectrum of what Hip-Hop music can be.
Looking for an actress with screen experience to play the girlfriend to the artist. Your character will be going through a break up with the artist and there will be different scenarios expressed throughout the video showing the ups and downs of relationships. Must have the ability to showcase emotion and cry on cue.

LEMNISCATE
Non-Union Short Film
Short 24p HD film shot with prime lenses
STORY LINE: A young woman wakes up in an industrial building only to find her self on a cyclical journey that continuously leads to certain death.
This film only has one role and it's a very expressive one. The film will be shot in 1080p HD with prime lenses. Visually stunning with a solid story is what we are going for and this can't happen without the right actor.
SEEKING: ALICE (NON-UNION)
Female. Early-Late 20's. Attractive and curious. This is NOT a dialogue heavy film and the actor will have to be very emotive, as there are many psychologically taxing obstacles she must overcome.
Additional Note: The principal role (Alice) is the only character in the film, but we will also need a double for the actress - preferably one that looks like the principal - so in the off chance you have and identical twin, please bring this to our attention!

A young child is left home alone. He hears footsteps in the hall. The footsteps approach the door and unlock the door. The chain is drawn, so the figure reaches in to try and undo the chain. The child is scared, but then recognizes the ring on the finger that is unlocking the chain on the door. The figure walks in, hooded in a parka, turns on the light. We realize the figure is his mother. She opens her bag and reveals that she has brought home brussel sprouts for dinner. The child is scared again.

Substitute Dreams: A New Musical
NYC, 29-Hour Staged Reading Guidelines
Those contacted with an appointment (for Matthew & Morgan) should prepare 2 contrasting 32-bar cuts (one traditional and one contemporary) that show vocal range, personality, and strong commitment to material.
Those contacted to audition for The Man should prepare a short contemporary monologue (NOT from a musical) and may also be asked to read from the script.
Substitute Dreams: A New Musical is a two-person musical (with one additional featured actor) in development for an upcoming New York run.
Actors cast as Matthew and Morgan must both possess strong acting ability with a great amount of heart, humanity, and strength - as they represent the human struggle between success and sacrifice in the artistic lifestyle. Both actors must also have the ability to "age" throughout the course of the musical.
Matthew: 25-32. Morgan's best friend. Charming, an "artsy" photographer who is highly talented and driven. Progresses from struggling artist to world class photographer throughout the musical; physical appearance transitions from slightly unkempt and chubby to svelte and dressed in couture. Strong bari-tenor - with high A and solid falsetto.
Morgan: 25-32. Matthew's best friend. Like-able with an edge. Comic timing. A gifted fashion designer. Progresses from polished fashionista to practical soccer mom/teacher throughout the musical. Physical appearance transitions from slim and overdressed to "comfort-first" and round around the edges. Strong mezzo with high belt.
The Man: 28-40. Experienced actor. Striking, a demeanor that is enticing and frightening all at once. This character does not sing.
Rehearses: April 20 and April 30. Reading will take place on May 1.
NYC auditions will be held on March 30 and 31, by appointment only.
