Don't laugh - the right pair of pasties can completely transform a woman so she is totally unrecognizable for her job as an undercover (or, under-not-much-cover) cop.

The Best Soldiers Have The Biggest "Bazookas"

I, Creator
Feature Film, Non-Union

Union Status Non-Union
Rate 1.) Meals provided by the production. 2.) Screen credit for your work in the production. 3.) A copy of the final cut of the DVD. 4.) An invite to the screening party. (Um, not to get technical - but those aren't "rates".)

Synopsis
This is the fabled Frankenstein story retold with new twists, turns, technology, and characters for the twenty-first century.

GINA / Non-Union / Supporting / Female / Caucasian / 25-35
Gina is Robert’s ex-girlfriend with long black-hair and black-eyes with an olive complexion in her twenties. Gina is of average height of around five feet four inches tall with a slim attractive figure. The role requires strong acting skills. (Sounds it!)
Wardrobe: She wears blue jeans, sneakers, and a blouse
Rate: NO PAY, but screen credit, a copy of the final DVD, and invite to screening party (Really??? You mean after all the hard work I'll do for you - being slim and petite and acting real good - you'll even deign to let me attend the screening of my own work? THANK YOU!)

GAIL STORM (Get it?)/ Non-Union / Lead / Female / Caucasian / 21-30
Gail is a long black-haired and black-eyed extraterrestrial female cyborg with fair skin and in her twenties who looks human and stands well over six feet tall. She is built like a Barbie doll and well-endowed. She was made to be the ideal female super soldier (huge breasts are imperative to being a top-notch soldier! They don't slow you down or get in your way AT ALL) and scientist by her creator, Dr. Pavlov on the planet, Delta Four. Strong acting skills and stage fighting required.
Wardrobe: A black coverall cat suit with matching boots and gloves, an ammunition belt, and a laser rifle. Gail also wears army fatigues and a backpack for hiking, business suit, blouse and blue jeans a blouse, high heels and sneakers for other scenes. (Ice skates and bridesmaid dress sold separately.)
Rate: A copy of the final DVD, screen credit, meals, and invite to screening party (She gets to go to the party, too?! What fun!)

SURVIVALIST / EX-DELTA FORCE INSTRUCTOR / Non-Union / Supporting / Male / All Ethnicities / 25-45
He is an ex-Delta Force instructor standing 5'6'. Robert hires him to train Angela and Gail. The survivalist was convicted of rape, escaped jail and the USA, and admitted back to the USA for rescuing an ambassador’s daughter. He meets his match with Angela and Gail. They are terminator-like indestructible soldiers. Robert sends Angela and then Angela and Gail to him to test Angela’s firmware never to kill a human no matter how evil they are and to protect humans from other machines.

The role requires a STRONG BACKGROUND IN STUNTS, MARTIAL ARTS, stage fighting, and strong acting (sure - but only if you'll invite me to the screening party!). If you have a stunt reel, I'd like to see it. We need to get as close to exact height we are asking for as much as possible for these roles.
Wardrobe: Jungle fatigues, backpack, hunting knife, and a water canteen.
Rate: Deferred payment (D'oh!)

TERRORISTS / Non-Union / Supporting / Male / Middle Eastern / 20-35
Must have dummy pistols and look like terrorists. The roles require strong acting skills and have dialogue. (Again, yes, my goodness - it seems like "acting skills" are of the highest priority...)
Wardrobe: Street clothes.
Rate: A copy of the final DVD, screen credit, meals, an invite to the screening party (The more the merrier! Except for that survivalist guy - who wants him when you can party with terrorists?)

I Wonder What The Moral Of This Sermon Is?

‘SATANIC SERMONS’

Actor Reads Casting Notices... Actor Gets Annoyed.

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Faster Than Due Process! More Powerful Than A Motion To Dismiss!

‘ZERO TOLERANCE’

Hunter Productions is casting Zero Tolerance. A burned-out D.A. takes the law into his own hands as he goes up against dangerous villains of the criminal underworld, but is soon faced with more deadly sinister characters. Zero Tolerance is a fast-paced Batman-style story (a cartoon?) filled with three-dimensional characters (oh... I guess not a cartoon...) and surprise heroes. Leon XXXXX, dir. Shooting begins late summer in various locations on Long Island, NY.

Seeking—Actors: male and female, all ages, all ethnicities, all types.

Send pix & résumés to XXXXX Productions, XXXXX, NY 11701. No pay provided.

I'll Have What She's Having - But Since It's Happy Hour, Make Mine A Double!

Erotica in 12 Shots (Ha - "shots". It's like a double entendre... read on...)
Student Film, Non-Union

Union Status: Non-Union
Run(Usage): School project with possibilty of entering in festivals if all goes well. Will be part of a trilogy of shorts.
Rate: No pay. Would provide happy hour drinks if you could stay until the end of the shoot. This will be shot in a day. I will also provide a dvd copy of the project once it is completed.

Callback Note: Will call you by phone on or before June 2. Please leave a contact phone number.

Synopsis: Life is an erotic journey—from birth to death. Using close-ups, I will show people’s expressions as they get on the verge or orgasm. The shot will alternately show males and females and chronologically from their teens through old age. I will recreate the stages of life on screen. It will also alternately show them in bed and doing normal daily activities, all having the same “verge-of-orgasm” look

Project Notes: No nudity, but will create an illusion of nudity on screen. Part of each role will be lying on a black bed faking orgasm (Apparently life is a "faked" erotic journey for some...), the shot will only be from shoulders up. So, nothing covering the shoulders to create an illusion of nudity. The other scenes would appear fully-clothed. This is a black and white, silent short.

Audition Note: No audition required, but would like to briefly meet with the performer in person on or before June 2 in Manhattanso that I can explain the project thoroughly.

Role: FEMALE 3 / Non-Union / UNKNOWN_ProjectExtrasRoleType_CODE_OF_2 / Female / All Ethnicities / 25-35. Should be comfortable with having close up shot faking orgasm.

Wardrobe: Unspecified. No nudity but will create an illusion of nudity

Rate: No pay. Will provide copy of project upon completion.

I like how they will pay you with cocktails after faking an orgasm - that's priceless! Usually it happens th other way around, no? And they're not even full-priced drinks - they're happy hour drinks! If I were you, I'd ask be sure to ask for top shelf...

Will He/She Carry A Rainbow-Colored Whip?

‘FIERCIANA JONES...'

The Stupes (prod.) are casting Fierciana Jones and the Quest for Electric Youth, a gay parody of Indiana Jones. Scott XXXXX and Shadee XXXXX, prods. Rehearses Mon.-Wed. evening June & July with a full week of dress rehearsals; runs in August.

Seeking—Feliciana Jones: gay version of Indiana Jones; Chewbitcha/Sarah: Chewbitcha is a Chewbacca-masked woman, Sarah is a Nazi, soprano voice a plus; Meowbles: female, sexy feline woman, romantic, sexual, mousy (Hahaha - get it? A mousy cat!), wears costume and makeup from Cats; Tim/Boy: male, fight scenes, comedic bits, speaking role; Steve/Ninja/Boy: male, fight scenes, comedic bits, non-speaking; Ahmed/Ninja/Boy: male, fight scenes, comedic bit, non-speaking. Note: Do not apply if you are turned off by offbeat, politically incorrect humor such as South Park or Strangers with Candy. (How about if I'm turned off by poorly thought out, half-baked 'parodies'?)

Auditions will be held XXXXX NYC. No pay but credit provided.

I don't recall there being any ninjas, Chewbaccas or large, she-cats in the Indiana Jones series. And I think I would have remembered that...

Lead Actress 30-45 years old, short film on May 10. Urgent! (TriBeCa)
Reply to: XXXXX.org
Date: 2008-05-04, 10:04PM EDT

Sorry for the last minute post, but I need an actress for this short film of 4-6 minute. It's an one day shooting project on May 10th. But you need to read the script, come up with a character analysis and compare with my script analysis during the week.

Please send me your resume and head shot ASAP! Thanks. No pay but lunches. Non-union.

* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
* Compensation: no pay

You have to do some reading, write a "report" (character analysis) to be "graded" (compared), and all you get is lunch? Sounds a heck of a lot like school, if you ask me.

And what's with the writing assignment - whatever happened to old fashioned auditioning???

Ok, fine, I'll do it - but only if I get to make out with the school's star quarterback, afterward.

The Character Descriptions Alone Are Worth The Price Of Admission

This is from the Equity website - just the character breakdowns:

SAFE — Equity Principal Auditions

Studio Dante
New York, NY

LOA-NYC

Van:
Late 20s – early 30s. Smart in a self-destructive way. Has a rough charm that people often find attractive. Dangerous and endearing. No stranger to pain. A cool exterior on a violent soul.

Ginger:
Mid-20s. Fearless, or at least not afraid of what she already knows. Used to getting attention from men. Determined not to let anything get too close. Fierce. Independent. Eyes on the horizon, looking for home.

Muzzy:
Late 20s – early 30s. Bear-like. Powerful. Thoughtful. Savage. A victim of first impressions. Intuitive. Driven by an intense self-loathing. Maintained by a curious capacity to learn. And to love.

Characters named after vehicles, spices and cutesy nonsense words... they are dangerous with cool exteriors, eyes on the horizon, savage yet endearing, bear-like, curious and self-loathing...

My god... it's all so beautiful! Yet painful! I love it! No, wait...

I loathe it.

Fantasy photo shoots... clients will pay to be the director of your photo shoot. You will be paid based on the fees charged to the client.

Please send your pictures and a description of your goals asap, etc.

Thank you!!

* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
* Compensation: no pay

Dear Sirs;

Ever since I was a young girl I had two life dreams. The first was to graduate high school as valedictorian, attend Cornell, join the Peace Corps as an agricultural specialist helping to alleviate starvation in third-world countries, then return home and marry an equally generous, motivated and caring man with whom I would raise a family in Connecticut.

My other goal was to have dirty pictures taken of me by strangers where they could and would probably end up on the internet for everyone to see, and to buy a grande latte with whatever lame and probably vastly insufficient "compensation" was offered.

I look forward to the day I can check one or both off my list of personal goals. With your help, that's not just a dream.

Most sincerely,
Gabriella

Clearly Not Written By A Woman

SHAVE YOUR HEAD FOR ART
Student Film, Non-Union
Union Status: Non-Union
Rate no pay: credit and copy provided as well as snacks and transport
Submissions Due By 3/3/2008
Shoot/Performance Dates: weekend of 3/1/08 (flexible as to exact day/time)

Synopsis
A woman shaves her head in a bathtub then burns it.

Project Notes
I am looking for any woman who is willing to shave their head for this project. It is a short, student film for NYU. The shoot will be no more than 4 hours. The crew is small and it will be fun, creative, and laid back.

WOMAN / Non-Union / Lead / Female / All Ethnicities / All Ages / Nudity
A woman shaves her head in a bathtub, which begins to overflow in the tub. She steps out when done, pours alcohol over it, and leaves. The hair then is lit on fire. Partial or full nudity might be involved but can be worked around if actress is not comfortable.

Rate: no pay, credit and copy provided as well as snacks and transport

I wish you luck in finding a woman willing to be naked and to shave her head for free while you and six of your friends watch. I have no doubt that people have no trouble finding women willing to bare a little for free - but to shave their heads for free??? None of you have girlfriends, do you?

PAUL / Non-Union / Featured / Male / All Ethnicities / 20-30 / Sexual Situations
Rate: No Pay

No casting process. You're live on a soundstage being recorded by three cameras. There are "sexual situations" with the other actor who you never even got to meet during the audition process because there is none. And no pay. I am thoroughly perplexed... Whatever could this be???

No, wait. I really don't want to know. I still have a shred of innocence left, and I prefer to keep it that way.

I guess since everyone is a "co-lead" then it's an "ensemble piece"? Well, except for the poor lass with the painful eyes - she must be hard to look at (or maybe that's why she cuts herself - to distract herself from the pain her eyes are already inflicting?) - and "Barbera", the other chick who gets naked. Poor things have to take their tops off and don't even get listed as co-leads. So unfair.

About Compensation...
Reply to: see below
Date: 2008-01-03, 6:20AM EST

To all you people who want to hire models and other artists, etc., without paying them fairly, or AT ALL...

Don't you realize that you will get a much better response from the type of people you need (read: quality) if you PAY them? No one wants to work free; you cannot reasonably expect anyone to. It isn't fair to us. We work hard to hone our craft, and deserve to be compensated when performing a job for you. I cannot believe the number of ads I would have answered (for which I probably would have been hired) if only there had been a reasonable compensation rate instead of "No pay"!

Please, people...DO offer reasonable compensation if you want someone worth hiring to answer your ads!

Thank you.
