Feature Length Horror Film-Casting Call -Akron, OH

"The Murders of Brandywine Theater" is an independent feature-length horror film directed by Larry Longstreth. It stars Dian Bachar (Baseketball, Southpark) and is executive produced by Mark Ordesky 
(The Frozen Ground, Lord of the Rings). The film will be produced by Longstreth's company: "Eddy Spaghetti Productions, LTD" and will be shot primarily in and around Kent, Ohio.

Auditions for the film take place Saturday, December 15th from 12pm to 5pm. 

Location:  Murdock Industrial 
               553 Carroll Street 
               Akron, OH 44304

The 4 roles we will be holding auditions for are: 

1) " Mindy" - The film's female lead. Age range: 18-28. 
Mindy is Henry's (the protagonist) college-age co-worker. Her outgoing, standoffish nature attracts the shy, 
lonely older man. 

2) "Mr. O'Doul" - Age range: 38-60. 
Mr. O'Doul is Henry's boss and owner of "The Brandywine Theater". He's a seedy business owner and 
a bully. (A shorter actor is preferable, but not necessary.) 

3) "Dr. Landers" - Age range: 50-70. 
Dr. Landers is Henry's shrink. Eerily calm and seemingly humorless, he's slightly detached from reality. 
His sweater vests are a fine example of this.

4) "Mama Kosta" - Age range: 60 - 90. 
Mama Kosta is Henry's mother, who he lives with. Passive-aggressive and subtly cruel, she is a 
constant source of stress and agony for Henry, going so far as to give her cat more favorable treatment 
than she gives her own son. 

Auditions will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis. Those wishing to audition should 
arrive no later than 2pm. 

All roles are paid, though the pay is modest. SAG memberships are not required.
