husband.

Postproduction Update
By TyFord: The last five years have tried the patience, resources and
reserves of almost every professional video operation. Some facilities
have filed Chapter Eleven, some have moved to smaller spaces or into
their homes and others have simply gone out of business. At the risk
of being overly optimistic, the long cold winter precipitated by 9/11,
the DotCom crash and the profusion of low cost solutions for video
production and postproduction may be coming to an end. For this
report, iCOM surveyed the economic and technology terrains by speaking
with four mid-atlantic postproduction facilities. Although your
particular mileage may vary, what we learned has national
implications.

19941
Film shoots weekends beginning in May.
DEVOTION will be shot on weekends beginning May 2006 in lower
Delaware. These are non paying roles, but do offer you the chance to
be in a full length motion picture. We will consider all regardless of
past experience. As with any film the hours are extremely long and
thankless. Serious and dedicated only please!!!
DEVOTION
CAST NEEDED:
JENNIFER: 18 to 30 Fun type although we only see remnants at times of
this under her depressed face and hectic life. She''s in love with
Bryan. ( one scene of nudity ( non sexaul )
DAMIAN: 18 to 30. The left side of his face is burned and disfigured
from a culinary accident. Damian is the character the audience feels
for the most. He has a true innocence about him. Very trapped in his
wounded emotion. ( one scene of nudity ( non sexaul )
MARK: 18-30 Strong willed. Mark is our homosexual protagonist with a
dry sense of humor. Strong and sensible but much wounded beneath the
surface.( one scene of nudity ( non sexaul )
BRYAN: 18 to 30 Strong built, handsome, our groups leader, however
underneath we can see even from the beginning the face of a guy who
could easily dissipate/snap. ( one scene of nudity ( non sexaul )
HEATHER: Has various appearances in film, and is undead through most
of them. Nudity required ( non sexual )
Each of these characters has to show a great deal of emotion, acting
with face, crying, breaking down, showing fear, showing terror. For
forty pages of the script the main cast is in a state of mental
breakdown and terror. Even though the film is full of horror and
horrific images, the film''s actors need to move along on a subtle
psychological level in the europium tradition of acting for the first
part of the script.
Actors will need to be able to learn large segments of dialogue.
Actors will be required to do nudity as it is part of the story.
SUPPORTING CAST NEEDED:
