Ten minute web comedy episodes to create a platform for budding talent
| Casting complete: Applications now closed. |
We are currently casting for an all-new web-comedy, based on the madcap lives of a group of university students in the North East of England. Anyone that has ever been young will be able to relate to this concept. We are making a witty comedy that is young at heart.
Each episode will be around ten minutes in duration and will be used to generate hype, exposure and popularity for everyone involved. Initially we will release the material via social networking sites and video forums. Ultimately, we aim to approach investors and TV commissioners, using the web episodes as a show-reel for all of the talent involved.
Our aim is to create a show that can serve as a springboard for budding talent.
The Internet is the perfect platform for new talent to make a start in the industry. (Think about where you saw this advert…we're all trying to get somewhere.)
We want to hear from YOU!
Please apply now to take part or for more information.
Let's produce something really special...and have some fun at the same time.
Roles:
Mark
Males, aged 17 to 25
Comic book geek and aspiring film-maker. He is the sensitive type who generally hides behind his humour. He has recently been dumped by his girlfriend. Playing Age 18-21.
Meg
Females, aged 17 to 25
An attractive law student who is sick and tired of being judged by her looks. She is a loyal friend and helps to keep people's feet on the ground. Playing age 18-21.
Keith
Males, aged 17 to 25
A history student. Easily thrown into a state of panic when it comes to exams and stressful situations. In normal situations he is very easy going. His girlfriend, Lorna, wears the trousers in the relationship. He over-thinks everything and tends to cry when he probably shouldn't. Playing age 18-21.
Lorna
Females, aged 17 to 25
Assertive, no-nonsense type. She can be blunt at times and loves to be in control. She has a dry sense of humour. She is Keith's girlfriend...some may say, his boss. Playing age 18-21.
Carl
Males, aged 17 to 26
Out-spoken, loud and girl-obsessed. He is the only non-student in the group, but he attends all social events, (even when he's not invited). He has a habit of turning up in unusual places. He issues pointless advice with tiny pearls of wisdom. He is Mark's best friend. Playing age 18-22
Sophie
Females, aged 17 to 25
Attractive emo/gothic/rock chick. Shy at first but ends up becoming a woman in her own right. She is very sweet once you get to know her. She is a film student, but takes a while to figure out exactly what she wants to do as a career. Playing Age 18-21.
Josh
Males, aged 17 to 34
Josh failed the army training programme and is killing time until he is allowed to apply again. He is obsessed with war and guns, etc. He is studying history for this very reason. Works part-time as a paintball marshall. He is always covered in bruises. Playing age 18-30.
Casey
Females, aged 17 to 28
Mark's old girlfriend. She is training to be a nurse, and, after Mark, has hooked up with the most unlikely of rebound guys. Playing age 18-24.
