ARTIST: AUDIEN/LADY ANTEBELLUM, “Something Better”

LABEL: Capitol Records

PRODUCER: RAB Media

DIRECTOR: Will Joines

LOCATION: Campbell Hall, NY

RATE: $325/8 hours ($650 total), round-trip crew van transportation from NYC, copy and meals. No agency fee.

SYNOPSIS:

A cinematic, emotional, romantic concept—but still modern enough that it fits into the mainstream. A new take on classic films like Starman and E.T., but with a contemporary, young-adult cast.

STILL SEEKING:

[GIRL]

Females, looking 16-25 years old but MUST BE LEGAL 18, ALL ETHNICITIES, STRONG ACTORS. An alien who’s landed on earth (a la Starman) and eventually sees the human form she’s in when she glimpses her reflection in the mirror. A pretty girl with a unique, otherworldly and different look, SEE REFERENCE IMAGES/LINKS BELOW. As there are no lines, body language will be a big factor for the character – everything from showing fear as she’s chased to wonder and amazement as she realizes both what she is and where she is.

STATUS

Pre-production

SEEKING:

Non-Union and SAG/AFTRA Talent and NON-ACTORS. *Director is giving priority to AUTHENTIC, LOCAL AREA NON-ACTORS who are a perfect fit for these roles.

[SAMANTHA]

Approximately late 20s to early 30s years old. Pragmatic, tough, focused. Hardworking. Passionate and firey. Not prone to believing in religion or superstition. Drinks too much. Has a deep psychic wound because of events from her childhood. Stuffs that down and doesn’t let people close. Born in a small town in the Ozarks but left when she was a teenager because of painful events. Returns to this town as an adult out of necessity. Has many skills but she leads with her mind and therefor lacks intuition (which comes from the heart). LEAD

[RATE: $1, 000.00 for length of character’s shoot schedule, TBD]

[MIKE]

Approximately 32 to 40 years old. Same age or older than Samantha. Raised in Ozarks. Went to college but came back after school to help his people. Strong moral compass. Sturdy. Kind. Gets along with just about everyone. Likes to fix people but will come down hard on those who disappoint. Could be a horseman as easily as a bartender or a social worker. Many skills. Leads with his heart. LEAD

[RATE: $800.00 for length of character’s shoot schedule, TBD]

[CECIL] SEEKING NON-ACTORS

5 to 9 year old BOY or GIRL. He is a wounded soul but even with all the bad that has happened to him, he is full of heart and love and fight.

[RATE: $1, 000.00 for length of character’s shoot schedule, TBD]

[FLORINE]

50 to 60 years old. From the Ozarks. Deeply spiritual and deeply connected to the folk lore of her ancestors. She has an intelligence that is innate. She has true grit. Respects grit in others. Midwife meets horsewoman meets truck driver, Florine has a way about her that says she can protect herself and she can take care of others. Not a soft, emotional woman. She would just as easily go shoot targets as she would clean a chicken and fix the roof. But she cares deeply about family. SUPPORTING

[RATE: $700.00 for length of character’s shoot schedule, TBD]

[FIG]

Late 30s to late 40s. Extremely superstitious. Went to school till 5th grade when his father pulled him out. Fig is surviving. Hunts for his own food. Cooks up Meth. Uses drugs.

[WILLIAM/BILLY]

Mid 20s (needs to be about 5 years younger than Samantha). Survivalist. Lived in the woods. In and out of juvi, then prison. Uses drugs to dull pain. Is hardened by abandonment and a life without love but has a powerful heart at his core.
