<b>True Alternatives Media</b>, in association with Draco
Productions, is proud to announce the production of it's new
webseries,<i> <u>"The Emotional Wrecks Society".</u></i> We are
currently accepting headshots and resumes from actors/actresses
interested in appearing in the new dramatic webseries, due to shoot
and air during the autumn/winter of 2011.<br>
<br>
This is a "slice of life"-style show... it includes drama, comedy,
romance, and more. The story revolves around The Emotional Wrecks
Society (<b>EWS</b>), a club formed by middle-school friends who
didn't fit in anywhere else. Now that they're in their early 20's,
they find the bonds of friendship vital to navigating the waters of
adult life. <br>
<br>
The parts being cast include:<br>
<br>
<i><u>Main Cast:</u></i><br>
<b>Hope Goode</b> - (early 20's) Outspoken and bold, Hope never
tried to hide being a lesbian. That's because her older sister,
Sarah, is also gay, and Hope has spent her life emulating her “cool”
older sister. She's tough, but feminine. She's the vocal leader of
things, but never allows her friends' opinions to go unheard. She's
both the most sexually adventurous and experienced of the group, but
is starting to tire of her extended string of brief hook-ups and
failed relationships. One of three original members of the EWS.<br>
<br>
<b>David “Dante” Lowell</b> – (early 20's) A sensitive artist-type,
Dante is a young, slim gay male. Unlike Hope, he struggled with
coming out, but managed to do so before he graduated. He's somewhat
cynical, but a hopeless romantic at the same time. The second of
three original members of the EWS.<br>
<br>
<b>Theodore “Trick” Carlton</b> – (early 20's) A straight male, he
likes to joke about being the “heterosexual minority” in the group.
His own relationship exploits are legendary...he's lost two
girlfriends who nonetheless remain a part of the circle: Janet and
Allison (though Allison is away at college). He tries to be the
best boyfriend he can be for his relationships, but has never been
able to build anything meaningful. A snarky smart-ass, Trick
nonetheless cares deeply about his friends, and would do anything
for them. The third original member of the EWS.<br>
<br>
<b>Janet Lowe</b> – (early 20's) One of the more recent members of
the EWS (in for under a year), Janet is an ex of both Trick (who
brought her in) and Hope (who she dated after breaking up with
trick). She's genuinely bisexual... she's not trying to be trendy,
going through a phase, or being slutty (though she's been accused of
being all three). She struggles more than the others, because she
catches flack from both the gay and straight community.<br>
<br>
<b>Vanessa Paradise</b> – (early 20's) The show is told from
Vanessa's perspective. She enters as Trick's latest girlfriend, but
becomes interested in getting to know Hope better once she finds out
that Hope is gay. Vanessa's mother has recently come out as a
late-in-life-lesbian, and Vanessa has had a difficult time talking
to her about the changes in her life. She hopes that, by getting to
know Hope better, that she'll be able to relate with her Mom as
well. She gets more than she bargained for, however, as the buried
secrets of her own sexuality are brought to the surface, and she
realizes that she's more like her Mother than she thought.<br>
<br>
<i><u>Supporting Cast:</u></i><br>
<b>Bridget Paradise</b> - (early-mid 40's) Vanessa's Mother, she
desperately wants for her daughter to be OK with her being gay, yet
doesn't want to force anything. The proto-typical suburban Mom,
Bridget married young and started her family right away, but now has
to now reconcile her past domestic aspirations with her newfound
acceptance of her sexuality.<br>
<br>
<b>Peter McManus</b> - (late 30's) Bridget's brother and Vanessa's
Uncle, Pete has alway been to "go to" guy for a sympathetic ear and
reasoned advice. His family needs him now, more than ever.<br>
<br>
While it would be preferable to have "out" gay/lesbian actors to
play the LGBTQ parts, it's not mandatory. What IS mandatory is an
open mind, a sense of empathy, and a burning desire to get your name
OUT THERE and your talent NOTICED!<br>
<br>
We dislike cattle-call auditions, so we are accepting headshots and
resumes from interested potential cast members. Once we have enough
interested/potentially suitable parties, we will schedule a private
audition day that will be invitation only. Those who inquire early
will be sent audition sides to familiarize themselves with. True
Alternatives cast our last film (Dark of Moon, to be released later
in September) this way, to rousing success. <br>
<br>
Past film experience is NOT mandatory!<br>
<br>

<i>"I was first struck by the absence of time, having depended
on it so completely as a measure of myself and my life. Moving
backwards into the perpetual night that consumes purpose and
deed, all passion and will. I come to you, old friend, with
the dull clarity of the dead not to beckon you but to feel the
fire and intensity that still live in you... and the heavy
weight of your burdens which I had once borne. There is truth
here, old friend, if that's all you seek but there's no
justice or judgment without which truth is a vast, dead
hollow. Go back. Do not look into the abyss or let the abyss
look into you. Awaken the sleep of reason and fight the
monsters within and without."</i></p>
