Casting for Feature Film SACRIFICE THE FEAR

I am currently casting for a full feature film called "Sacrifice the
Fear". This is a Thriller/Horror film and will run a little over an
hour in length. This film will be submitted to film festivals across
the United States. This is not a paying position but everyone who is
involved with the film will receive a copy for themselves as well as
credited in the film. The film is low-budget but will be filmed in
high quality. The shoots will take place in St. Peters, MO. All
shooting will be at night. Schedules are flexible. I am looking for
people who are fun to be around and can follow directions well. Below
is a list of the characters I will be casting. I will be holding
single auditions in St. Peters. If you would like to have a one on
one audition, it will be a cold read from the actual script. Please
email me with your name, age, phone number, location, the part you
would like to try for, and a picture and a day you would be available
to meet. The film should start shooting toward the beginning of
August and end toward the middle of October/beginning of November.
Here is the synopsis of the film.
"A woman wakes up in a deserted town unsure of how she got there. She
soon meets with a group of other people who also woke up in the town.
After seeing a man killed by these shadow looking creatures, the
group starts figuring out a way to escape. Soon the group learns that
a curse had been put on the town long ago and they were nothing more
then a sacrifice to the shadows. These people are not only being
hunted by the shadows but also by the people that put them there.
Now for a list of the characters I will be filling.
Megan: Woman/ 30-40. No specific looks required.
Sam: Woman/ 18-30. Thin, "bad ass" look. (please email for more

This is a list of the characters I will be looking for. Keep in mind,
there will be A LOT of action in this film, so if you have any type
of physical disabilities, please keep this in mind when thinking
about one of the parts. ONLY interested people email me please!
Thank you and you may contact me at Gocrazy4blues@aol.com.

Howell Road, St. Peters, Missouri
