Life on Earth Retold - Actors Required


Actors Required For a 12-Day Shoot in Leeds (and surrounding areas) in August 2011

Life on Earth Retold is an hour-long SF feature about Sadie Brown, a young woman suffering from sleep paralysis. When her terrifying visions escalate, Sadie realises that nothing, not even death, can save her from the malignant parasite that has stolen her mind...

The Cast

Sadie Brown
Female, aged between 20 and 26. Sadie is highly intelligent but emotionally vulnerable, and her own worst enemy. Her Christian faith cements her life on a firm foundation, but she is a slave to the most painful of memories.

Enoch Brown
Male, aged between 30 and 60. A creative genius, Enoch is a man driven by love for his daughter. However, this obsessive relationship with Sadie threatens to push Enoch to the very limits of sanity. 

Ben
Male, aged between 18 and 22. Ben epitomises "cool" to a surreal extent. Fresh out of college, Ben is a lover and a fighter whose very existence is shrouded in uncertainty, even to him.


Also...

Freya (female, aged 18 - 26), Lynne (female, aged 30 - 60), Baron (male, aged 28 - 45), The Counsellor (male), The Writer (male), The Assistant (female) and The Reaper (male). 

Participation in the film is voluntary with the possibility of payment after release.

If you are interested in auditioning, please email details, (including a bit about yourself and a headshot), to alex@skerratt-media.co.uk. Previous and professional experience is not necessary; I'm just looking for passionate and committed performers. 

The auditions are being pencilled for mid June 2011 at a time and place TBC. Pre-production will commence in July with production in August and a possible release date of December 2011.

Thanks, and "see you on the set" !

'Oldest' for Lineham Farm, plus Trailer

For all copies of 'The Oldest Life on Earth' sold in May, I'm going to donate 50% of the sale price, (so £3.50), to Lineham Farm. They are a registered charity based in Leeds providing a centre for children from all walks of life, hosting a range of fun-filled activities from wall climbing to orienteering to table tennis! You can find out more at their website: http://linehamfarm.co.uk/

If you buy a copy, I hope you like it, and thank you for your donation. :)

On a separate note, some of you may know that I acted in an SF feature last year called On The Shoulders Of Giants? Well the first teaser trailer is online now at www.wotr.co.uk, or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvtdAYn4aNA - (look out for me, I'm the one arguing with a plant.) Enjoy...
