Description/Notes
In July/August we're going to be shooting our next project "The Rulers of the Darkness". It's a horror film that centers around an evil supernatural force terrorizing an already grieving family after they mistakenly open a doorway to its realm. Filming will take place from July 10th until mid-to-late August throughout the Central New Jersey area, primarily in Monmouth County. We estimate 20 or 25 days of shooting, reasonably spaced out with weekdays/nights and weekends. The budget is very restricted, and at the present time no financial compensation (including for travel) can be offered. However, the film will get a great amount of exposure, will be listed on IMDB, and receive a DVD and VOD release in early 2017. Obviously if the film makes half a million dollars and you spent your time and energy bringing it to life alongside us - we won't forget that. If you fit the description for a role please email me for audition sides and more details on the auditions. Auditions will be held on April 30th in Monmouth County. You also have the option of submitting a video audition prior to that date. If call backs are needed they would be on May 7th, and notification of casting would be by May 13th. Thanks for checking out our listing.
