This project is in the developmental stages, but we are wanting to put together a demo to get a feel of the sound of the drama early on. So we are casting for two roles at this time.
The work for the demo is unpaid, however the final demo file will be made available to you to use in reels. We hope this project will be funded and everyone involved will be compensated in the future when things really get going.
While the full cast of TIME will be much larger, our demo proof of concept scene only includes the following two characters. If cast, these two roles are incredibly important and will be featured a great deal. They are considered main roles.
TO AUDITION: Please read the descriptions of the roles available below. Then send a recording of you introducing yourself and the character(s) you are auditioning for followed by your reading of the script in character. You may include two takes, but no more. Please audition with the equipment you will be recording with.
POC and LGBTQ+ actors and actresses are especially encouraged to apply.
Send your audition in the format YOURNAME_CHARACTERNAME as a .wav or .mp3 to…
Deadline is October 15th
LILITH
Female, middle-aged
Voice: Subtle Middle-Eastern accent, bonus if a Hebrew speaker. Mature, confident, impeccable diction.
Sure, confident woman who exudes Big Dick Energy. Suffers no fools. Boss Lady.
ROOKER
Male, early 20s
Voice: Energetic, youthful, higher pitched voice. Any accent is acceptable, but must have a great and distinctive laugh.
Sarcastic accidental genius, hacker, and casual computer scientist who sometimes invents supernatural weapons.
SCENE: INSIDE ROOKER’S LAB, THE FAR WALL COVERED IN SCREENS.
AMBIENCE: Static from a few screens changing from one feed to another, some with staff milling about, others focused on objects. Camera pans and zooms in on one of a sleeping young man.
ROOKER
[leans back in chair with a groan] Are you sure about this? I mean really sure? You know I’m—mostly— on your side when you decide to do something a bit out there, but this? I’d think three failed attempts would be enough to prove that maybe it’s just not going to work?
LILITH
[distracted, focused on the screen] Have some faith.
ROOKER
[sighs] Who are you going to pair him up with this time? Sal? Burke? That guy that looks like a young Burt Reynolds? Actual senior staff that won’t flip out when things go really wrong? Because they will. [muttering to himself] Actually don’t pair him with Young Burt Reynolds, he makes the best cookies.
LILITH
How often was it that you told me that we must fail many times before we get it right? I’ll admit that… yes, we have had a lot of issues with this case. [sighs] But I think this time… this time it’s correct.
ROOKER
When I said that I didn’t mean, let’s keep trying, no worries if he’s killing off half our staff.
LILITH
Don’t be so dramatic.
ROOKER
[sighs deeply, exasperated] Why do you want him so badly? There are plenty who can do things similar to him without all that [gestures] death.
LILITH
I’ve got my reasons. [thoughtful pause] I’m pairing him up with the exorcist that Ellis was singing praises about.
ROOKER
[deadpan] You can’t be serious.
LILITH
I don’t joke, Rooker. Surely you’ve realized that by now.
ROOKER
[flabbergasted, a bit manic] He hasn’t even been out on the field yet! You’re sticking one dangerous idiot with one inexperienced idiot, and what? Hoping for the best?!
LILITH
[smug] Hm? Let me know if any of his vitals change, keep an eye on the monitors. I’m going to evaluate the “inexperienced idiot.” Good day.
ROOKER
[scoffs] Un. Be. Lievable. [to himself, mockingly] Keep an eye on the monitors Rooker, watch his vitals Rooker, make sure he doesn’t murder anyone in an excruciatingly violent manner Rooker, don’t borrow my rom-coms Rooker.
LILITH
… I haven’t left the room yet.
ROOKER
[clicks tongue] .. late shift again?
LILITH
All week. Enjoy.
