Playwright/lyrist seeks a composer

To write music for a play with music entitled "Apollo's Way." The play depicts an apocalyptic future New York City where the old institutions have vanished and been replaced by monarchies, thiefdoms and corrupt federations.   It is a story of two parallel worlds driven by greed, deceit and a quest for power.  Music is a blend of pop and theatrical styles.  Composer should be familiar with rock, rap, R&B and traditional musical theatre styles. I can only offer a fair percentage of the rights of the play to a composer. If you're interested in finding out more about the project, contact Mario at farwemar@aol.com or phone: 314-772-0743

Audition for new local mini series

I am starting a new mini series this summer. It is called "The Hunger"
and it is a horror/thriller based show. The first season has finished
with the scripts and we are ready to start shooting. Each episode will
be going on you tube and then to DVD and then to film festivals
including New York film fest and it will also be sent to sundance as
well as the cable station IFC. I have spoken with some contacts that I
have at the station and they have taken a look at the scripts and
contacted me back to let me know they are excited and have a good
feeling around the show. So, this will be a great opportunity for
anyone out there!

I am looking for many characters for this! Every role will get a
credit in the film, from extras walking by to the grips. So, you name
will be on this show. You will get quite a bit of recognition from
this as to your name will be on you tube, myspace, a few different
websites.

This will not be a paying gig unfortunately. The show will be low
budget. But you will receive credit and a copy of the dvd as well as
an invitation to the premiere party for the releasing of the DVD.

I am only looking for serious people. I don't mind if you have no
experience, please do not let that stop you from contacting me! I am

The filming will take place in St. Peters, St. Charles, O'Fallon, St.
Louis, St. Paul, Lake of the Ozarks, and many more locations. The
majority of the filming will take place in St. Peters.

There will be a new episode that will come out once to twice a week on
you tube. Each episode will be 5-10 minutes long.

We will start shooting in the beginning of June. If you are worried
about scheduling, please don't be. I am completely willing to work
around your schedule.

There will be a mixture of day and night scenes. I cant say how long
each shoot will take, it all depends on how much is shot that day/night.

There are a lot of people that are interested in this series and I
want to bring it to them! So, for me to do that, I need talented
people like yourself!
