Synopsis of Show:

Terry Tucker the Midnight Trucker follows the midnight rides of Terry Tucker and the strange, mysterious, and sometimes even otherworldly hitchhikers he picks up.  With a gift for the gab and an attentive ear for tales told by the passengers he picks up, Terry is a positive, fun-loving, freewheeling, son-of-a-gun with a yearning for an old-fashioned conversation on the lonely dark highway of the night.  Like a road full of twists, the conversations often take their own turns for the comedic and extraordinary, but it's always a fun and zany ride! 

As a web series, each episode of Terry Tucker the Midnight Trucker ranges in duration from 5 to 8 minutes and focuses on a single ride-a-long.  The surreal and humorous conversations that ensue carry Terry and his passenger to a moment of trial and conflict that each must come to terms with in order to understand the other.  Though comic in tone, the show also reveals Terry’s humanistic desire to connect with the offbeat individuals he meets.

Episodes close with Terry's musings, which occur in voice over, and reveal Terry placing the plights of the characters he meets in a larger context, a dualistic yin and yang of the moment.  He writes these collected experiences and thoughts into a book he refers to as the "Tao of the Road."  The book contains all Terry’s ramblings of nights learned and nights lost, and serves both as a comic understanding of the human trajectory and a philosophy of life on the road.

Looking to cast female lead for web series episode of Terry Tucker the Midnight Trucker.

Production will occur Memorial Day Weekend and will require 1 day of rehearsal prior.

Character description:  Maggie is a disgruntled lady whose political party has lost.  Deep down Maggie really prizes family values and tries to work through her anger.  The big question is just “who” will fill the family bill.

Please send acting resume and reel ASAP.

My name is Nathan Hastings, I'm a senior at the U of M majoring in Media Production. Over the summer, myself and a group of experienced production students/graduates will be filming the first season of "So-Called Superheroes," a comedy web series about real-life superheroes.

Production will occur some time within the range of late June through early August. No set dates exist quite yet. So at this point, somewhat flexible availabilities are great.

We're looking for actors to play "Furie," our female superhero protagonist (age 18-25), "Thundercloud," our main male superhero (age 18-25), and a few gang members (think NYC youth gangs from the 1950s, like "West Side Story), also age 18-25.

We expect to film 7 to 8 episodes, each episode ranging from 2 to 4 pages long. 

Compensation will include credit, a copy of the final production, food, and possibly a bit of gas money for our main actors.

If interested, please send me an e-mail at hasti124@umn.edu. If you have a headshot, resume, age range, availability, anything, please share that as well.

Thanks so much!

Hello

I'm an interdisciplinary artist looking for 2-3 actors, 1 audio person, and 1 video person for a short, experimental, narrative work-in-progress. Ideally, we will shoot about 5 remaining scenes end May/early June, in rural Minneapolis at a country house and a barn. I'm looking for artists, experimentors, collaborators.

And specifically:

- 2 daughter characters, 12-15yo, and 1 father character - Caucasian - would be great if one family!

- 1 proficient audio person, preferably with own equipment, to record basic dialogue and outdoor sound

- 1 proficient video person, preferably with own equipment, to film and provide cinematographic input

My budget is modest--I got a very small grant last year that I'm really trying to stretch to cover a few things. I'd like to find like-minded people interested enough in the project to accept a small daily fee of about $100 for 2-3days of work and not charge extra for their own equipment, though I'm prepared to rent if need be--and I do have access to equipment through an organization where I'm taking a filmmaking class.

This is a spare and amateur production, but an interesting project I think. Briefly, the project is called A Purity Ball, and ultimately it will be combine this short video with a staged production. In a way, it's about "outsiders' fantasies of the mainstream." It presents a main character in love with a dad and daughters as they're about to go to "a purity ball." It draws out the relationship between a romanticized notion of their world, and an opposite world of art, presented through an encounter with another character's bizarre performance in a barn. The main character is stuck inbetween, desiring impossible membership to one world, and relegated to the other as an outsider. And... there's more. Just wanted to throw out a dense description of some sort here, to pique interest...

If you're interested in this little venture, please be in touch.

Thanks for reading~

Hello everyone! I am Evan Leslie, a high school film student in Minneapolis. 

I am looking for a male actor, ranged 19-24 for a short film- roughly 15 minutes, perhaps less. 

The script is going to be copied over below. 

I do not have a deadline for this project, however until May 10th, I will be in schooling, and available only on the weekends. 

GIven the fact that the entirety of the film takes place in one day, in a single setting, filming would preferably done in a single session, which would most likely last around 6 hours at the most. The scene takes place at around 6:00 or 7:00 pm, and there are many shots with windows in them, so these scenes would need to be done at the corresponding time in the day. If need be, this can obviously be split up into multiple days. There are other scenes which are not time-descript, but the large majority will be.

Please feel free to contact me if you're interested, and I would love to get some background iformation, previous work, and all that jazz before making a casting decision. 

The acting itself will require some very convincing crying, anger, and general desperation to really sell the sript. There will also be an internal monologue to record, preferably by the actor who I will be working with, but if need be, I can find a Voice Actor, and do some very minor editing to the script to fit it all together.

Thank you very much, I look forward to hearing from everyone, script is written below the line!

_______________________________________________________________________

Time. Final Title yet to be decided.

INTERIOR HOME. SMALL ROOM, LIT BY 2 LAMPS‚- ONE NEXT TO A
SMALL DESK, THE OTHER, A DESKTOP LAMP ON TOP OF A LARGE
CABINET or DESK. ORANGE TINT SOFTLY PERMEATES ROOM, MIXED WITH
A SOFT NATURAL LIGHTING. THERE IS A COMPUTER ON THE SMALL
STANDING DESK. A RECORD PLAYER AND STAND IS RUNNING DIRECTLY
NEXT TO THE LAPTOP AND DESK, TO ITS RIGHT. A YOUNG MAN IS
SITTING IN THE CHAIR, AT THE LAPTOP VISIBLY DISTRAUGHT. HE IS TYPING ON A FORUM SIMILAR TO /R/SUICIDEWATCH, OR EQUIVALENT SUICIDE HELP HOTLINES. HE IS CLEARLY A VOLUNTEER, NOT A PROFESSIONAL, NOT ASSOCIATED WITH A PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION. JUST TRYING TO HELP.

Shot: Sweeping movement on floor, start far from center of
attention. Bring the camera through the door arch, closing
up to a near 30¬? angle, looking upwards. Should see both
laptop backing, and face of actor. If possible, feet, which
are frantically tapping up and down. [10 second Shot?]

Change shot to close up of actor's face. He is around 18-20
years old. Small beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Frantic. Nervous. The emotion clearly visible in his eyes:
Fear. Pan down to hands, which are tapping aggressively at
the keyboard. Not Typing.

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
How long has it been?
20 minutes? 2 hours?

SHOT: NEAR SIDE RECORD PLAYER. ACTOR IN BACKGROUND. FETAL
POSITION. ROCKING. TRYING TO MAINTAIN COMPOSURE, FAILING.
THE RECORD WILL BE CLEAR, TONE ARM IN CLOSE FOCUS. SONG
NAMED 'TIME' WILL BE PLAYING.

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
It all feels as just a fleeting
moment, one which persists for
hours. Time... is.. nothing...
But.. how long has it been?

PAN DOWN FROM RECORD PLAYER TO THE FEET OF ACTOR. STILL
TAPPING AGGRESSIVELY.

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
What is mattering right now? What
do I say, if they don't even
respond?
Come on.... Just‚--let me know
you're Ok--

[The word Okay is cut off, making a sound like Oak.]

[Computer beeps, indicating new message.]

[Character jumps at the noise, recognizing it immediately.
In a swift, rushed movement, they position themselves to
read the message, desperation evident in their stance.]
[Desperate, rushed tone– internal
Monologue, reading of the received
message.]

[Message Reads: Life is not worth living.]

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
(Frantic, Desperate, Rushed
tone. Yet an eerie sort of
calm in this first line.)

Life is not worth living....?

(Angry tone, incredulous.)

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE

That's it?!?! I fucking wrote him
pages! How in the hell could he
only respond with that?!

[5 second pause. Regain composure from anger into frantic
desperation.]

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
Okay.... okay...[speaking quickly]
shit shit shit shit shit SHIT.
Gotta think fast.. think fast. What
do I say?

(Drawn out 'O' sound:)[Clear
anguish in voice. Pained,
deliberate.]

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
Ohhhhh FUCK. What do I say now?

Okay, Okay.... ah, SHIT. They're
waiting right now. Sitting, waiting
like I had just done. But they have
a knife to their throat or a gun to
their head. Okay... Okay... Think.
Just... Think. But there's no time.

[5 Second silence]
Okay... think think think think
think shit shit shit.

[Back to stunned tone of voice here.]
'Life's not worth living...'

(Introspective Tone. Still
sad.)
What did I do in his position? What
saved me? I had my back up against
the wall too, once.

[10 second shots of actor, back to a tiled wall. Shaking,
crying. Massive turmoil. Gun pressed firmly against their
temple. Shaking. Near to pulling trigger‚ a Close shot of
this. After a few tense seconds they drop it. POV shot of
hands. Shaking still.]

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
what was I told to save me?

Back to rocking back and forth. Hands on top of head.
DETAIL: One hand firmly clenching same area where they had
previously held the gun to. This is the first time their
hands will have fully left the keyboard.

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
What was I told....?
...Nothing...?

(3 second pause)
(Back to the frantic
speaking.)

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
Okay.. J-just Fuck it. Stop
focusing on yourself, you asshole.
Just help them HELP. THEM.. They're
waiting for you.

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
(Clearly desperate to say
something.)
Just make shit up.
Just lie. Fine. But make it
believable you idiot.
Okay.. Just write something down.

[Frantic. The words don't sound sincere. Typed quickly.]

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
Listen, man. I've felt that before.
Life can suck. Want to know what
got me through it? [Narration
aside: Fuck if I know... Make this
clear. Focus on typing, which stops
at this narration line. Hands
hovering over keyboard.]

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
I found a passion. I thought I had
nothing, but what truly helped me
was just.... thinking about my
hobby. Hiking.

[2 second pause.]
(Angry, Self hatred.)

[YELLING, OUT LOUD.]
FUCK THAT. That's garbage. How is
that supposed to save someone, you
jackass?!

(Yelling here.)

HIKING?!

(Back to calm.)
... Okay, okay... Just say
something else. Something
meaningful.

[Another long pause]

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
..Be honest.

[Typing. Very sincere.]
I've been there before. I don't
know what saved me... but here I
am. I don't know what to say
here... Just that‚ -- some people do
still care. They must. I must.

[Voice whimpers and fades at the last word here]
Please don't...

[Typing stops. Blank stare at screen. Eerily calm. Scary, in
a sense. Tone arm on record player moves up, end of record.
Music stops. Sounds nearly stop. Room tone persists.]
(Introspective, collected with
desperation just below the
surface)

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
Is that all I have...? Is it
enough?

(HUGE emphasis on has, not overdone.)
It has to be.

[Send]

[Close laptop screen, exhaustion. Collapse on top, head
buried in crossed arms. Struggling to maintain composure.
From same camera angle as NEAR SIDE RECORD as earlier.]

[Close shot of face, right side. through the gap in the
arms, we see a tear welling. Silent. Meaningful.]
(Internal Monologue. Quiet,
depressed.)

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE

Why am I here?

[Actor stands, stumbles over. Finds support on desk.]

[3 second pause]

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
...I was so close, once...

[Shots of rifling desperately through filing cabinet.
Finding a pistol. Locked through the muzzle break. A
magazine to its left with a single round, ready to be
chambered. Shaking hands grab on firmly, lifting the gun
from its resting place. Close shots of unlocking the gun,
sliding the magazine into the handle, and chambering the
single round. Unclear whether this is part of the earlier
flashback or not.]

---We will have a replica air gun for this film. It wll be completely unloaded for all scenes with the exception of the scene in which the round is chambered.

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
So close to leaving...

[Looking at gun in a sense of awe.]

[Far, center focus shot of visibly distressed actor slumped
against a disheveled bed.]
(Introspective, Eerie, calm.
collected with a deep mental
anguish still lingering
below.)

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
'Sounds start to fade away...'

[All sounds are disappearing from the room. No room tone.
Absolute silence.]

INTERNAL MONOLOGUE
'And now I'm just sitting here....'
'..waiting...'

[ Final shot. Still. Focus
center screen. Far from the actor. His back to the edge of
the bed. Gun at his side. Hand brushing it almost
longingly.]

[FADE TO BLACK]

Looking for an actor in early to mid 20s who wants to do unpaid work to make stuff for either reel, fesitval showcasing or just for experience. I need someone completely dedicated. Not just an actor who can just say lines and act, but someone who is willing to transform into a character and great at improv. Think of this as you being uncomfortable in every scene and transforming into a character for every scene, who can do long takes and stay completely in character.

The film is a short film about a road trip between a couple who are drifting apart from each other, essentially. This role is for the character of Brian Foster who is physcially skinny and somewhat frail. Mentally and emotionally, he is sweet and very generous.

Please email your headshots as well as links to YouTube or any other work if you have it online somewhere. I will try to look through all headshots and judge physically what I want for the character, and then would like to meet you to talk about the role in person from there. No auditions. I am going by headshots only on this and experience.

Must be available for the next couple months. Not every day but at least once or twice a week for an entire day.

Thank you!
