CAST & CREW CALL FOR TRIPPIN’
Deviant Pictures, an
award-winning Mishawaka-based film group with a strong film festival
record announces auditions for our first feature film scheduled for principal
shooting in August 2006.
The Story : Trippin’
is a character-driven horror comedy about 3 couples who spend a night in a
remote cabin in the woods where, lo and behold, bad things happen…
The
Production: principal shooting scheduled for the first two weeks in August.
The Buzz: Deviant Pictures has a
strong track record with our previous productions. Our last few short films
have had great success on the film festival circuit officially selected to
screen at over 50 film festivals world-wide, garnering numerous awards,
distribution deals, and receiving critical acclaim from Film Threat,
Pretty-Scary.net and Bloody-Disgusting.com to name a few. Devi Snively's
scripts have placed in numerous screenplay competitions including Slamdance
(twice), the Austin Film Festival (twice), Writer's Digest and Scriptapalooza
just to name a few. The rough draft of Trippin' has just recieved highly
favorable coverage and advanced to the next round of the Feeding Frenzy
Screenplay Competition. The final draft will be even stronger.
The
Challenge:
Budget, of course. Like our short films, Trippin' will be produced on a
shoestring budget. We don't have big bucks to offer cast and crew members, but
all who participate will be fed, housed, worshipped and will receive a DVD copy
of the finish film. They will also go in knowing that our films play before audiences
worldwide.
CAST: We are currently accepting
audition tapes (VHS, DVD or mini-dv only - no HI-8, Beta, or other formats
please) We will also be holding auditions locally at the Mishawaka Penn Library
on April 15 as well as future audition dates in Indianapolis, Chicago and
Cleveland. E-mail
