Sakooz is a 120 minute feature film concept, which requires actors for a 3 minute trailer
Sakooz is a 120 minute feature film concept, which is currently being script-edited by several industry professionals. To obtain the necessary funding to get the feature film off paper and onto the screen, we have decided to produce a three minute teaser/trailer to use as a promotional tool to help convince investors of the huge commercial possibilities of the concept. After the trailer is completed, we will begin a massive online marketing campaign, ensuring everyone knows the word, “Sakooz”.
Plot summary:
-------------
Whilst three young filmmakers are driving along an unmade dusty highway in the middle of the night towards Uluru, their world is suddenly turned completely upside-down when a spaceship containing four cute aliens comes crashing into earth right in front of them. Too afraid to give the creatures up to a team of soulless scientists - lead by the malicious Dr Bronson, and fearing that they’ll spend the rest of their lives as lab rats in a laboratory, they make the hasty decision to bring the aliens home with them. Several years later, the filmmakers create a television show called Sakooz staring their extraterrestrial family. The show is a huge success, and life is looking good. However, things take a massive turn for the worst not long after they reluctantly employee their next door neighbour – a young, socially inept, pyromaniac called Leodore. Dr Bronson ends up tracking down and stealing the aliens – and it’s up to Leodore to get them back.
Cast Required:
----------------
Leodore (24) At 24, Leodore lives a predominantly solitary life filled with silent dinners with his father and his stepmother. The only highlight in his life are his comics, and his passion for making films where he can blow up, in spectacular fashion, as many things as he can.
James (32)One of the initial filmmakers to discover the aliens, James is good-looking, business driven and just simply a nice person. Together with his long term partner Anna, he shares a passionate love for the Sakooz and has dedicated his entire life to these creatures.
Anna (29) Anna fell in love with the Sakooz as soon as she laid eyes on them when they first found them in the middle of the desert. Together with her partner James, she has devoted her life to nurturing the Sakooz, taking her role as a mother very seriously.
Simon (32) James’ best friend, and also one of the three filmmakers to find the aliens, Simon has become the crazy, fun and entertaining ‘uncle’ to the Sakooz. He has a larger than life attitude that can be overwhelming and difficult for people to put up with. Simon helps James and Anna run the TV show, but it never seems like he does any work.
Jeff (50) After the death of his wife, and then having remarried, Jeff is at a loss with his son, Leodore. He knows that the rift between them is growing wider and wider, but he can’t think of how to reach Leodore. So Jeff simply makes sure that Leodore always gets what he wants.
Cindy (45) Leodore’s stepmother is overwhelmingly kind and loving. All she wants is for Leodore to love her and for Leodore to be happy. She tries her best to take on the mother role, and never having any children of her own, invests much in the family she is trying to keep together. On the outside, she maintains the facade of the happy home-maker.
Dr Bronson (44) The villainous Dr Bronson is motivated purely by his own desires. His selfish and cruel nature is hidden under a charming façade, which he uses to attain his own goals. He is extremely ruthless, having no regard for others unless they can be of use to him.
Kylie (21) The new public relations representative - young, stunningly attractive, power-driven Kylie is the newest addition to the TV show. She is intelligent and manipulative, knowing exactly what to say to circumvent any problems or disasters. Her attributes make her successful at what she does.
