hello my name is steve probert and i posted a notice on neohiopal sometime
ago about a student film project and a search for actors.
i would like to thank everyone who responded and offered their help as it
was vry much appreciated.
The project will be a final film consisting of re-constructions of several
of his dreams. There are 8 small vignettes/dreams that he is planning to
reconstruct and compile into a final film. Each has about 1-5 different
actors and will be filmed using Super 8mm. Most of these deal with
reconstructing the situations in his dreams at various locations ranging
from his apartment to his childhood home and with actors playing family
members and friends. there is some sexual content one of the dreams
(limited to kissing only, nothing graphic) that is not related to any of the
dreams that i am looking for actors for through neohiopal.
i am currently still looking for four actors to complete shooting and ive
included descriptions of the actors that i need and synopsisis of the films
they will be in.
the actors that i am looking for are:
for Doctor's friend
a caucasian male age 30-40
a caucasian male age 40-50
for grandma's disapproval

5. Burning X-mas Tree
Actors:
1. Mother: Denise Hedrick (cast)
2. Boy: 5-7yr
Action Synopsis: A young boy is being picked up at preschool by his mother.
He runs into her arms and shows her the gingerbreadman Christmas ornament
he made. A shot of the ornament hanging on the tree in the living room of a
suburban home. A close shot of the ornament hanging on the tree. The tree
bursts into flames and the ornament is seen through the flames.
6. Doctors Friend
Actors:
1. Protagonist: 20-25 man (cast)
2. Doctor's Friend: 40-50 man
3. Dr. G: 30-40 man
Action Synopsis: Protagonist awakened from bed by a knock at the door. He
answers the door and it is a friend of Dr. G who is sharing the apartment
with him. Doctors friend enters the door and walks further into the room.
He is standing in front of the bed and asks if Dr. G is there. He takes out
a small gun looking object and aims it at the ceiling. The ceiling begins
to swell and drip with water and everything in the room starts getting wet.
Protagonist scrambles to protect his things from getting wet and Doctorss
friend wont stop laughing. He asks to see Dr. G and walks around to the
kitchen. Protagonist and Doctorss friend are standing in the kitchen and
Dr. G walks into the room wearing only tight underwear and greets his
friend. Dr. G and his friend enjoy a laugh at the destruction of
protagonists belongings and he urges his friend to take off his clothes so
that he can be more comfortable and he agrees. Dr. G invites his friend to
see his lavishly remodeled room. They both walk into the living room from
the kitchen and protagonist follows. The door to Dr. G's room is positioned
above protagonists couch as if to use it as a stair or porch. Dr. G opens
the door and the three of them stand in an awkward silence. Through the
doorway an expansive and lavish room can be seen.
7. Grandmas Disapproval
Actors:
1. Protagonist: 20-25 man (cast)
2. Grandma: 60-65 woman
3. Mom: (cast)
Action Synopsis: Protagonist is standing in the dining room looking into the
kitchen. He walks forward and sees grandma standing in the corner with an
angry look. She explains that she is disgusted by the pictures he made.
Protagonist walks through the kitchen and down to the basement. The
pictures are perched on a shelf by a dimly light lamp. He picks up the
pictures and flips through them. The photographs are of a man who looks as
if he has been recently murdered. He puts them down and walks back upstairs
to the kitchen. As he reaches the top of the stairs protagonist sees his
mother hunched down in the coat closet. She seems to be looking for
something. Protagonist stands there for some time and watches her, then he
asks her where grandma went. She turns and angrily looks at him. She is
furious and says that grandma is gone, and she was gone because of him.
Protagonist sees that she has the electric knife in her hand that she had
used earlier to cut the meat with and he realizes that she wants to kill
him. He sees himself lying on the floor in a bloody pool, like the photos
he had seen earlier and he runs from her, out of the kitchen.
Thanks again for your interest in the project and to all those that
responded before.
