So here we are. These are the roles I need to cast for Life Tracker.
First, CLICK HERE to learn more about the project as a whole. We will be shooting in July.
Next, you need to know that this is a NON UNION project. Sorry SAG peeps. We would have gone SAG if one of the three leads (already cast) had required the production to go there, but they didn’t. I hope that we can look on the bright side and view this as a good opportunity for NON SAG actors to get some work.
Most of these roles take literally hours to shoot out. A few will take a couple days. There is pay but it isn’t much. It changes depending on the amount of time the we need to shoot the actor’s scenes, but some are 75/day and others are 150/day.
I won’t lie. I have a lot of friends and I will be trying to pluck them into roles where ever I can. However, lots of my friends are SAG so that means more roles open up. If the role is listed below, then IT IS NOT CAST YET! If you would like to put yourself in the running for a role please email me at JOE@REDANDTANPRODUCTIONS.COM. I want to see your picture, your resume, and a link to a reel if you have one.
I will be casting over the next two weeks. I just cut and paste a excel doc so I’m sorry if it’s a little hard to read. Use a straight edge if you have to line up the character information hahaha! I look forward to hearing from friends and meeting new actors!
