Upcoming Audition for Colorado Film School Project!!

2011-10-18T16:12:00.000-07:00

Michael Sharon, a student at the Colorado Film School is producing a short film Twombley. This will be his fourth year film for his BFA in Video Production. Michael and his partner-in-crime, Zach Eastman (Zach is directing), have assembled a really good team and the script is very interesting.

It's a non-paying gig.

They are looking to shoot in mid-February and we expect the shoot to be 3-4 days.

This movie takes place in the 1950's at a small radio station in Denver and is about an older man who is looses his sense of purposes as the world moves from radio to television. The cast is largely made up of white males as white males dominated such work places and segregation was in full swing at the time. We apologize in advance that this excludes many talented actors in Denver from being considered for roles in this project.

They are holding auditions for a few speaking roles this Saturday, October 22nd between 12:00 noon to 3:00. Auditions are being held at the Colorado Film School (9075 East Lowery Blvd. Building 965, Denver, CO 80230).

They are looking to fill the following roles:

Frazier – 18-25, fresh-faced. New on the job
Twombley – 50's, Grizzled radio vet. Alcoholic.
Simon/Feese – 35-50, face for television and a voice for radio (represents what Twombley is not).
Detectives (2) – 35-50, all body types, looks.
Mr. Young – 30-65, producer/station owner type.

Call Michael at 720-891-3303 or Zach 720-284-4163 to schedule a time.

SCRIPT <for visual cues, please refer to the storyboard>:

<Sung>

Hey creative director,

Today’s you lucky day

Because a man named Alex

Paid me to bring his book your way.

Last time you saw his work,

You called it a literary crime

But since then he’s made some revisions

That’ll make this worth your time

‘Check it out, check it out, check it out

Look at his first campaign,

And you will surely see

These headlines are much shorter

And better than they used to be

And in his Tampax campaign

He added a digital piece.

He also says you were right about women

And sorry he offended your niece.

He’s sorry. Sorry. So sorry.

You remember those grammatical errors

In his Toyota long copy ad?

He cleaned those up right away

And he says that they were his bad.

[Singer doesn’t even make it through that last verse before the creative director slams the door. Singer stops in mid-verse.]

TITLE CARD 1: <headline> You don’t need a gimmick. You need NEXT.

TITLE CARD 2: <headline> Applications due 9/2/2011 <CTA> NEXTCreatives.com

Singer <who is speaking now as the title cards are on screen> So, uh, I, I guess I’ll just leave this thing out here?

Footloose – The Musical (June 3 and 4 at 7 p.m. and June 10 and 11 at 7 p.m. as part of Stapleton’s ongoing Theatre on the Green series on the lawn at Founder’s Green.
Like the 1984 Kevin Bacon film that inspired it, Footloose follows the story of Ren (Benjy Schirm), who moves with his mother (LuAnn Buckstein) to a small town where dancing is prohibited by law. Teens will be teens, of course, so Ren ends up at odds with the town and especially the local minister, Reverend Moore (Robert Michael Sanders). Along the way, the characters sing familiar songs from the movie ("The Girl Gets Around," "Holding Out for a Hero," "Let's Hear It for the Boy," "Almost Paradise," and of course the title tune), but the new songs are enjoyable as well.
Admission is FREE to the general public. So kick off your Sunday shoes and get ready to have some rockin’ good fun! Pack a picnic, grab the kids and a blanket and head on over to Stapleton’s outdoor theatre and get foot loose! Located at 29th and Quebec on the Green. No reservations necessary.

Babe the Sheep Pig at the Aurora Fox Theater June 21 - July 21 at 10am. great for kids and adults of all ages the show is approx 1 hour and follows your favorite pig who tries to herd sheep by being kind. 303- 739-1970 (i'm not in it, but I directed it and I'm very proud of these kids)

The Little Mermaid at LIttleton Town Hall Arts Center July 19th, 20th, 21st & 22nd @ 10:00 am, July 22nd & 23rd @ 7:00 pm and July 24th @ 2:00 pm
