There Was A Part One?!

ACTRESSES, "DAS KAPITAL..."
Casting non-union actresses to play strippers in "Das Kapital – The Movie (Chapter 2)," a very low-budget digital film shooting late September-early October in NYC. Seeking speaking roles—Laura Engels: lectures unwitting club patron on Marxist economics; Supply and Demand: two attractive strippers who assist Engels. Partial nudity required. Also seeking non-speaking roles—actresses of all types and ages to play strippers in club. Nudity not required for non-speaking roles. No pay, but copy and credit provided. Royston XXXXX, dir./casting. Renaissance Theater & Film, prod'r. Send pix & resumes to...


Ok, now that the tears of laughter have dried from my eyes... I wonder if Laura Engles is any relation to Laura Ingalls? Or is this perhaps her stage/pole name? Who would have thought that sweet little Laura would have left the prairie to become a Marxist seeking converts in a strip club? I'm very glad to hear though, that if you have no lines, nudity is optional. That seems very fair. Now I have to try and rent Part 1... Have any of you guys seen it? Was it good...?

Casting DV film "Smoke & Mirrors." Shooting Sept. 7-21 in Yonkers, NY.

Seeking--Smoke: lead, dancer, student, 23-28 (23-28? I sure hope she's a med student...); Detective Williams: principal; Darleen: prostitute, 25-30 (I just KNEW there was going to be a prostitute in this - I just knew it...), principal; Carmen: best friend of Smoke, 20-28, principal; Lonnie: drug dealer, 20-25; Swift: drug dealer, 20-30; Pastor Green: lead, must be motivated preacher type, 25-35; News Caster: father of Smoke, heroin addict, 35-45; Brother Dale: 35-45.

This reminds me, whatever happened to "Jane Ho"?

Maybe, Maybe Not.

"PINE HOLLOW"

This is a BlackMoonFilms Inc. production. Casting for "Pine Hollow." See www.blackmoonfilms.com. This is a possible future paid job. However, more importantly this is an opportunity for aspiring actors and/or actors who need and want to be shot on film, with a possibility for a 35mm production (Possible future pay? Possibly shot on film? This IS a great opportunity!). No pay. (Wait a minute...) All crew and actors will receive several copies of the finished film (Oh! Could I get a dozen?), credit, food, and drink. Transportation will be by 15 passenger vans, however there may be issues depending on the talents location. (In other words: if your sorry ass lives in Staten Island, start walking now.) Furthermore, this production has a professional and experienced crew. Scenes will include crane, steadicam, and car mount shots. Casting all roles and will need approx. 80 extras for the club scene at a premiere NYC club. Visit www.black moonfilms.com for all information with regard to this production. The production calls for non-union actors because there is no union contract. (I'm so glad someone finally explained that to me.) There will be brief artistically shot nude scenes at one location only. Also looking for a sound mixer and grips for this production. Shoot date will be available after all cast have been hired. Visit www.blackmoonfilms.com and download script. Bring outfit you would wear for the particular scene you're auditioning for. Send pix & resumes by Aug. 12 to PO Box...

I have to audition for you "in costume" based on the script, then, if I am cast, you may or may not shuttle me in a van to the set to work on a movie which may or may not be shot on actual film, after which I may be getting naked for some artistic - yet brief - love scene(s), then I am to be compensated with sandwiches, juice boxes and several unwanted and embarrassing (I am sure) copies of the finished masterpiece? No thanks.
