Pinheads Web Series Online Auditions
by Brian Walker via NEohioPAL 04 May '15

04 May '15

Still looking to fill roles for my web series.Here are the roles availableMulti-episode rolesBernie - appears in 5 of the 6 planned episodes:This is a recast of the part from the pilot. I'm not expecting someone to do a dead-on impression of the original actor, but I do recommend watching the pilot for a guideline. In short, the character is as crazy as the day is long. He is Caucasian, and the actor should be old enough to be believable as the father of two teenage children.Margo - appears in 3 of the episodes:A co-worker at the radio station, off the straight face to the wild antics of Brian, Steven and Charlie. Though she also has a bit of a snarky, dark-humored side. No race preference, age-range would be mid-20's to 40's.Single episode roles:Rachel - Kenny's sister/Bernie's daughter. She has a crush on Brian so the character is very girly (think school girl in love) and kind of awkward. The role is written for someone under the age of 18, but if you can pass for that young or if you can pull off the right attitude, I'm flexible.Drunk Heckler - An obnoxious drunk who harasses Steven while he's trying to work. Pretty straight forward.Here are the main details:Where: Northeast Ohio - Akron/Barberton areaWhen: This summerCompensation: Unpaid, but you'll get IMDB creditUnion: Non-union, non-SAGHow will anyone ever see it? Once I've finished all 6 episodes, they're gonna appear on my Youtube page.Contact me at adecourv(a)gmail.com(Or reply to this e-mail)Tell me what part(s) you're interested in and I'll give you the instructions for an online audition. Deadline for online auditions is May 16I created an event so anyone interested can keep tabs.https://www.facebook.com/events/354409464766349/

Hello, As you may know many Ohioans are struggling to be actors, crewmembers, directors, and producers. They can only imagine having moreopportunities to work in movies, television, or web series without having touproot their families searching for jobs. They dream of having a viable careerin the cinema industry while residing here in Northeast Ohio. With the amount of creative talent here, a wealth of filmfestivals such as the recently completed Cleveland International Film Festival,our area is begging for a sustainable Cinema Industry that will createproductions for TV, movie theaters, and the Internet. Prelude2Cinema iscurrently building a database of these local filmmakers, actors andcrewmembers - https://cinemaindustrydatabase.wordpress.com/. Thisdatabase is the hub of our Cinema Industry in Northeast Ohio,bringing together the abilities and resources of individuals tocreate something much stronger. Prelude2Cinema is planning on using many of these individuals inits productions. Currently Prelude2Cinema is working on four productions:“de la Oscuridad”, a sci-fi crime drama and its companion pieces, thevideo blog “Bring Crime 2 Cleaveland” which will be featured to promotereal life victims of crime as well as the series “de la Oscuridad","Cleveland Breaking News", a fictional news program that will also beused to promote the show. The first “episodes” of “de la Oscuridad” will be a90 minute movie titled “que, sera, sera.” “De la Oscuridad” will be a SAG-AFTRAproduction – using both union and non-union actors. In addition, we are producing “SecretAgent Sofia”, a kid's spy program. Prelude2Cinema believes artists should be paid, but they shouldalso remember that it is not called “Show Business” for nothing. Our tagline is"Subtle, Honest, Entertaining, Advertisement.” Only by benefiting thebusiness community, can one create a new industry here. Currently we have 5 incredible sponsors: Lucy’s Sweet Surrender - Lucy’s was our first sponsor and we are glad they are returning.We will get a chance to shoot in their brand new place on Chagrin. 20314Chagrin Blvd. Shaker Heights, Ohio 44122.
