Casting for Feature Film
Auditions Aug 27th in PDX - FEATURE FILM - we have strong distribution contacts and will be shooting this project in the coming weeks.
This is a mockumentary feature film in the style of Christopher Guest (Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman) will follow several hard working men and women in the street sign holding industry and discover their dreams (fame and fortune) goals (the woman he wants) motivation (money to buy weed) and aspirations (control of the industry). What should be a simple story of someone needing a job in this tough economy it becomes much more as the two factions, those who wear costumes ("But we're artists!") and those who don't, (We don't need costumes, we spin signs!") and the impending UNION that will change their lives forever.
