PROJECT – “DOCUMENTARY INTERVIEW”: for documentary style INTERVIEW, you
(ACTOR or ARTIST of any kind) will be interviewed about your work and
career (the questions will be submitted in advance to those who are
selected at the audition). If interested to be interviewed, you must attend
our audition March 22, and introduce yourself and your creative work. An
interview-shooting day is March 29. Later, you can use this video for your
personal sites and publicity.

PROJECT – “DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE”: for this project, selected actors will
prepare dramatic monologue or performance. Prepare a 1-2 minutes monologue
(must be original written content or public domain story) and attend our
audition March 22. Those who are selected will be informed the same day,
and the shooting day is March 29.

PROJECT – SHORT FILM or MUSIC VIDEO: you will audition for a LEAD ROLE in
student-produced films or music videos. On March 22, you will read from our
scripts (cold read), and you can also prepare a very short monologue. If
you’re a recording artist, feel free to perform your song. The short film
or music video shoots are scheduled for April 26.

NOTE: you CAN audition for any (or all) of these projects above.

__________________________________

These projects will be produced by Cuyahoga Community College's beginner
level film students (an "Intro to Filmmaking" class, taught by Prof. Bruno
Tatalovic). Several students who completed this course in previous years –
are now proud graduates of Tri-C, and newly established Cleveland film
artists, videographers, and crew members on big union films shot in Ohio! :)

WHERE: Tri-C Campus in Parma, Ohio (park in "visitor"; walk to central
campus area); If lost, ask police officers in hallways to show you G107
room.

WHO SHOULD COME: This type of collaboration is perfect for beginner (or
intermediate) level actors who need more footage for their first demo-reel.
By having a Demo Reel, you will be able to seek industry representation
(agent).

ABOUT PROJECTS: each of these projects give you a lot of screen time and
dialogue or monologue lines. They are all LEAD roles. These are unpaid
(collaboration) gigs. Get your first credit, your demo footage, and
establish new relationships with like-minded content creators. Also, if you
have NO screen acting experience, but you truly BELIEVE that you have what
it takes - COME and try out!

TIMELINE: These projects are 1-day (half a day) shoots. The work must be
fully edited by early May. The videos will be available online when
completed and you can ask students for HD download copy.

AUDITION: It's a “walk-in” audition (cold read from our scripts or short
personal monologue - if desired). Just show up any time between 9:15am and
12:30pm, and you will be seen. Bring:

-- headshot or any decent picture of yourself (any size);

-- acting resume (even if it’s very minimal);

-- no resume: have personal contact info (or business card);

RECEIVE NEW HEADSHOT DISCOUNT: Beachwood based Discovery Photo studio
(operated by photographer Scott T. Morrison) is giving special discount
coupon to all who attend this audition in person. HALF PRICE HEADSHOTS!
Come to audition and get your special offer coupon from an award winning
photographer.

INVITE your actor friends. Join us! Only actors who ATTEND this audition in
person will be considered for our projects. If students don't find
appropriate talent at this audition - they might consider additional talent
(but the preference will be given to those who show up).

SAG-AFTRA: members are welcome, but they must prepare and coordinate union
paperwork themselves. The beginner level students are not fully prepared
(at this level) to handle union contracts. Plus, the union requires
paperwork well in advance.

MINORS: if you're under 18 years of age, your parent must give you
permission to audition and act. Bring your parent, or have him/her give you
WRITTEN permission.

ACTORS-WRITERS: If you are screenwriter-actor, feel free to pitch your own
idea or short script, BUT it must follow our educational content rules and
guidelines (see sample projects below, to get an idea). Or stop by, and
chat with us.

MUSICIANS: want to make an entry-level music video? Come and pitch your
original song (must be available online)!
