Hi NEOPALs,

We just secured our location, but were unable to switch the dates, hence 
our short notice... 

We are shooting the climax sequence for the (relatively) long in the 
making feature film, The Unseen Place.  We are about 60% of the way 
through principal photography, and this scene will take us past the 85% 
mark!   Much more information can be found at http://theunseenplace.com, 
but below is some qualifying information. 

Who we need:  All ages (especially children, see website for more 
details on content), races and genders welcome.  Performers will be 
portraying members of a religious cult in the mid 1970s.  Performers 
should be able to stand for long periods of time and climb stairs.  We 
are filming in an old abandoned factory which has been cleared of 
harmful substances like asbestos and black mold (anybody remember my 
shoot at the old Days Inn on Rt 8?), but is still a place where injuries 
can happen if one is not sure footed.  I need at LEAST 50 people, so 
bring friends and family to make sure we have enough to get started!  
The more, the better. 

In addition to the above, Caucasian male actors are needed for roles as 
the cult leader's enforcers in the scene that involve both dialogue and 
mild stunt work (they talk and shoot and die). 

All of the roles will involve multiple scenes and contain at least one 
monologue (spoken in unison), with opportunities for other dialogue 
throughout both days.  Perfect for actors looking to add speaking roles 
and featured roles to their resume!  Because of the short notice, some 
of the actors I originally chose for some of the featured roles may not 
be able to attend.  In this event, I will cast on the set from who 
arrives, so if you're not obligated to another shoot or acting event, 
come on down.  There is something of substance for everybody. 

The bulk of shooting will take place August 25.  The actors who wish to 
perform the roles of the enforcers will be needed both the 25th and the 
26th.  The shoots will last from 9 AM each day, through day light hours 
to the end of the day, with the bulk of the cult crowd shoots going from 
10 AM to 2 PM.  Of course I can use actors more extensively, the longer 
they can stay.  I will (cheaply) feed and hydrate the cast and crew.  
Additionally, the sign-in release is also a deal memo entitling those 
who sign to receive rolling breakeven pay (pay you get if the film turns 
a profit and accrues enough to be able to pay everybody on the list at 
least $50 per person (if my profit is only a few hundred dollars and a 
hundred or more people show up, all the money will be spent cutting 
checks in the amount of one dollar and mailing them out)). 

Where to come:  The factory address is 77 16th Street South West in 
Barberton, 44203.  There will be signs indicating where to park. 

See theunseenplace.com <http://theunseenplace.com> for more info on what 
to wear, but as a rule of thumb, no clothes that one would not have seen 
in 1975 (jeans, flannel shirts or tees are okay for guys, old country 
dresses, nothing fancy for gals). Some muted hippie wear is okay, but 
no tie dyed clothes, it won't work for the aesthetic of the scene. NO 
CLOTHES WITH OBVIOUS LOGOS/ADVERTISING!

Visit the site, email me or call me at (330) 608-8760 with ANY 
questions.  We might be getting some radio air time for this shoot, so 
watch NEOPAL postings for announcements! 

My previous feature film Sugar 
<http://home.earthlink.net/%7Eshallowfocus/sugar/sugar.html> took in 
awards and nominations at major film festivals all over the country, and 
was screened in several internationally as well. The Unseen Place is 
adapted from a screenplay I wrote almost 10 years ago, which spun off 
our film festival award winning made for TV (go figure) series, Seeing 
<http://home.earthlink.net/%7Eshallowfocus/seeing/seeing.html>. Plans 
for The Unseen Place include a packaging tie in with reduxed edits of 
Seeing. So if you worked on Seeing, and liked your experience, then 
support your time investment in Seeing by helping The Unseen Place rise 
to its full potential! One will certainly benefit the other.

I know this is short notice for many, but the location had to be perfect 
or the climax was going to have to be rewritten.  Thanks in advance for 
your kind help and support!
