Casting Call

Johnny Violence, Casting Call:

Heroic Age Studios in Mt. Zion, Illinois is holding auditions
beginning September 22 for a project to begin shooting the first week
in October. No professional requirements are necessary. To be
considered please send headshot, resume, contact and other relevant
information to info@heroicagestudios.com. Please include the role you
wish to be considered for, and the name of the project, in the
subject line of your e-mail. Or call our Creative Director Eric
Hector at (217) 864-5111 for more information.

Project:

We are shooting an investment trailer for an upcoming action
adventure / black comedy film entitled "Johnny Violence."

Taglines:

"Your concept of an evil twin will never be the same again."
"When you need a solution as crazy as the world in which we live turn
to violence… Johnny Violence."

Compensation:

This project is not paid. Compensation will be in the form of a DVD
copy of the finished trailer. (This trailer is being shot by award
winning cinematographer Tim Lynn.) Performers will also be given
extra consideration, and a first shot audition, for the paid role in
the feature, once the project receives it's final funding.

Roles:

Johnny Violence, male, late 20's to late 30's. He is a disheveled,
crazy, clever, sweet, man-child. Think Johnny Depp in Edward
Scissorhands.

Fred Violence, is the same actor as Johnny, although a total opposite
in personality. He is slick, sophisticated, arrogant and totally evil.

Dot, female, early to mid 20's. She is very cute, childlike, smart
and innocent. Think a young Goldie Hawn in "Butterflies are Free."

The Screaming Wigglies, males between 18 and 25. They are a gang of
wayward youths, an exaggerated version of the typical carb-soda
guzzling extreme teens, strange, but dangerous. (Martial arts and
other physical skills a plus.)

Young Johnny /Fred, male 6-9 years old, very emotionally expressive,
and cute.
