[NEohioPAL] OPEN FEATURE FILM AUDITIONS

[Mike Campanizzi]

> Militia Hill Entertainment, a video production company owned by independent film director Michael Campanizzi, is beginning its first solely owned feature-length film, SLEEP EASY.
> 
> SLEEP EASY, directed by Campanizzi, is the story of a young up-and-comer at a local bank named Ben Newman whose job it is to travel to various clients that have been missing payments towards their mortgage and, therefore, must have their home foreclosed.  Set in an urban city during this present time following the economic downturn, SLEEP EASY is a character-driven drama that asks the ultimate question we must all have our own answer to: If you know you don't believe in the job you have, do still continue to do it?
> 
> The roles in the film range from a young boy (ages 8-12) all the way to an elderly couple (ages 65+) and ALL ROLES ARE OPEN FOR AUDITIONS, no previous acting experience is required.  A full list of available roles is included below.
> 
> Auditions will take place over the course of four non-consecutive days at the University of Akron's student union located at 272 Carroll St, Akron, OH.  The auditions are already in progress and ONLY THREE DAYS REMAIN!  Visitor parking is located at the meters outside of the building as well as in a separate visitors deck located across from Simmons Hall on East Buchtel Ave.  The dates and times of the audition days are as follows:
> 
> • Wednesday, November 3 from 6pm to 10pm
> 
> • Wednesday, November 10 from 6pm to 10pm
> 
> • Saturday, November 13 from 11am to 3pm
> 
> If you are interested in trying out, please come prepared with the character(s) you feel like you would be most suited for.  At your audition you will fill out a short questionnaire and then read sides from the script with Michael.  From that you will be considered for call-backs (the date and location of which to be announced).  If you have any questions about the film or the company, feel free to contact Emma Maurer at er_maurer7 at hotmail.com with any inquiries.
