Hello! I'm looking for actors that are free the weekend of October 1st-3rd that would like to be considered for a role in our 48. We will create the film on Friday, after we've been given our prompt, so we don't have a character list. Our goal is to find a wide variety of actors that are free during that period, and on Friday once we get to choose our story, getting ahold of an actor or actors from that list that we think would fit best, and start shooting! The short film will be between 4-7 minutes long, and the main time we would need the actor would be on October 2nd for filming.

This is an unpaid, passion project amongst friends who have been working together for years since film school. If you'd like to see some of our past work, please feel free to send me a message or leave a note and I'll share some with you.

Our story is unkown because of the nature of this competition. Once we receieve our genre, character, and required line of dialogue on October 1st, we will form the story.

"Gift of Fear," is a dramatic narrative feature based on the Missing & Murdered Indigenous issue. On a reservation in California there are currently 72 missing women. No law agency is looking for them, but the discovery of a Native woman's body near the Reservation brings an agent in from the newly created Missing & Murdered Unit. Once on the scene, a whole set of circumstances sets into motion the hunt to rescue some missing girls used for prostitution and illegal organ transplants.

SINGLE MOMS WITH SINGLE ADULT SONS WANTED

CASTING NEW DATING SHOW WHERE EACH GIVES THE OTHER DATING ADVICE!

We are searching NATIONWIDE for SINGLE MOTHERS (Age 40s-50s) WITH SINGLE ADULT SONS to be on a new dating show for a major television network where you each get to give the other advice on whom to date!

There is PAY, PLUS you’ll receive an all-expense-paid luxury tropical vacation / dating retreat where you can help each other find your perfect match!

•  Are you a single mom?
•  Do you keep yourself fit AND fabulous?
•  Does your 20 something year-old opinionated, single son want to help you find love, too?

We are looking for attractive single people with larger than life personalities to take part in a fun dating experiment where we allow the mothers and sons to help dictate who the other person should date – with some fun bonding opportunities in between!

The show is meant to empower women and fight back against the idea of ageism and a woman’s desirability ending after a certain age while also tackling the age-old question “Does mother really know best” when it comes to who their son should date.  It’ll be essentially two dating shows in one!

We are producing a Christian Sitcom --filming episodes 2-4 beginning July 28 in Cleveland, and September 3rd in Ft. Lauderdale and are looking for actors/extras for one-time and ongoing episodes.

A Quality Christian Sitcom?
Mocking God and His principles is the norm in every single sitcom.  With your help, that's about to change.  

The author of a book which hit #2 on the Christian "Relationship" chart has written this sitcom to counter the culture while making people laugh.  Like the book, the fun, upbeat sitcom will take viewers on a roller coaster ride from "Mr. Right Now" all the way to "Mr. Right," without losing heart and without losing faith.

Author of six books is best known as the architect of the pro-life Heartbeat Bill (to protect every child whose heartbeat can be detected) which is now law in 14 states (and counting). She is not satisfied with the status quo and is known for changing it.
 
WHY?  Reaching the Lost & Discipling Nations.  While most non-Christians aren't drawn to sermons, everyone wants to laugh.  The sitcom "What's a Girl to Do?" will make people laugh while putting God and His truths in a positive light--finally. 

Be a Pioneer & Help Pave the Way!  Your talent can help produce the first quality Christian Sitcom of its kind.  It features Robert Davi (The Goonies, Die Hard, The Expendables 3), Rusty Joiner (Dodgeball, Melrose Place, Voiceless), Chris Routhe (Chicago Fire, Empire, Chicago PD.), Matthew Moore (Homeless for the Holidays), George Kokkoris (Android Cop, Burn Notice), and many other accomplished actors.  

There are lots of good Christian movies, but there are NO Christian sitcoms from which to choose.  Let's change that. Instead of entertainment with the indoctrination of a godless worldview, let's create a quality sitcom that honors God and advances His Kingdom...while having fun.
