Tweaker With An AxeSan Francisco2008-07-07
Filmnon-unionPayment: Deferred Pay
Description:
Synchronium Films, a company based in San Francisco, is seeking actors and actresses for the feature film Tweaker With An Axe.




SYNOPSIS:
Horror. Modern Day. A film student attempts to complete his graduate thesis project with a crew of inept friends who are more concerned with getting drunk, in-fighting and their romantic entanglements than they are with his film. Things go from bad to worse after a few terrifying encounters with the drug-addled next door neighbor, and one by one the group is dispatched by an axe-wielding maniac.




ROLES AVAILABLE:

Ben: Male. 25 32 years old.
Ben is the writer of the student film, and also one of the actors. He is attractive, kind and somewhat introverted. Ben also has an unfortunate tendency to let people walk all over him. Throughout the shoot, Bens patience is tested, and eventually he is pushed to the breaking point.

Cassie: Female. 25 32 years old.
Cassie is the director of the student film, and a close friend of Bens. She is pretty, charismatic and universally well-liked by the cast and crew. Cassie is also manipulative, sneaky and dismissive, although she keeps these darker qualities hidden beneath a veneer of charm and smiles.

Tyler: Male. 25 30 years old.
Tyler is one of the actors in the student film. He is attractive, has a chilly demeanor and comes across as vain and self-involved. Tyler is dealing with a recent break up that has left him feeling uninterested in romance and distrustful of people, in general.
**Note: The role of Tyler has been cast.

Nanette: Female. 28 35 years old.
Nanette is one of the production assistants on the film. She is only at the shoot because she needs extra credit, or else she will be kicked out of her graduate program. Nanette is more interested in getting drunk, sneaking off to nap and playing matchmaker for Charlie and Tyler, than she is in doing any sort of work on the film.
**Note: The role of Nanette has been cast.

Charlie: Male. 25 32 years old.
Charlie is one of the actors in the student film. He is amiable, cute and a bit of an art dork; sketching in his spare time. Charlies finds himself attracted to his co-star, Tyler, and his focus switches from the film, to working up the nerve to pursue Tyler.
**Note: This character is involved in two love scenes with another male actor that require partial nudity.

Tracy: Female. 25 32 years old.
Tracy is one of the production assistants on the film. She is attractive, with an edgy sense of style. Although Tracy has good intentions, she is going through a difficult time, and doesnt have the time or energy to be at the shoot. Tracys feelings of helplessness and irritation result in outbursts of bitchiness and anger.

Logan: Female. 25 32 years old.
Logan is one of the production assistants on the film. She is a butch tomboy, with a strong work ethic and an unrequited crush on Cassie. As the only diligent and dedicated member of the shoot, Logan finds herself loaded down with the majority of the work. She is frustrated by the laziness of the rest of the crew and she develops a particularly snarky and vituperative working relationship with Nanette.

Andre: Male. 28 35 years old.
Andre is the make-up artist on the shoot. He flirty and flamboyant, with a caustic wit and a strong sense of self. Andre generally speaks his mind, whether the others like it or not. He doesnt go to school with the other crew members and is more interested in making friends than actually doing his job.

The Neighbor: Male. 30 50 years old.
The Neighbor lives next door to Ben. He is a dope peddler, and prone to irrational bouts of violence and rage. After Ben has him arrested, and a subsequent altercation with some of the more vocal members of the film shoot, The Neighbor goes off the deep end and begins to menace the film crew, with deadly consequences.

Officer #1: Speaking Role. Female. 30 50 years old.

Officer #2: Speaking Role. Male or Female. 30 50 years old.

Officer #3 Non-Speaking Role. Male or Female. 30 50 years old.

Desaray is a passionate and off beat artist who is obsessed with Wade, a dog walker in his late thirties whose main objective in life is to have a good time. After weeks of fantasizing about him and their potential love affair, Desaray has the brilliant idea of becoming a professional dog portraitist. However, when she presents the idea to Wade her fantasies end in humiliation and heartbreak.
