Auditions for No-Budget Thriller

AUDITIONS FOR NO-BUDGET THRILLER

Typewriter Productions is holding auditions for the film Pretty Ugly.  Filming is almost complete, but due to unforeseen circumstances, a vital role must be recast. 

DEAD BODY:  30's -40's male.  The corpse of a man who committed suicide.  The actor must be able to portray rigormortis.  The actor must also have a good back as they will be hauled around in a wheel barrel.  In the film, a young man finds Dead Body in a field next to his house.  Rather than reporting Dead Body to the authorities, he decides to hold onto him and tries to figure out what his life was like before he killed himself.

The actor will not be paid for their work on the film, so no union members.  The actor will be fed and given a copy of the film once post production is complete.

Filming will be in late June.  There will be one day of filming in Bourbon, MO and one day in Columbia, MO.

Send your head shots to Harry at typewriterproductions@live.com
