We are coming to the Greenville area next week and, among other things such as meetings and location scouting, will be holding a table read for a feature we are planning to undertake in December.
We have scheduled the read-through at 7:00PM on Wednesday the 10th. No pay, only snacks and camaraderie.
Interested actors should DM us your gender, age range and email. We will reply with character descriptions.

REMEMBER II is an Independent LGBTQ-Friendly Psychological Horror that, after the first days of initial filming in Western North Carolina, was shut down due to a small COVID outbreak that began with the cast and spread to the crew. Though filming lasted only 3.5 days, we captured some great footage....

Can't believe it's been almost 5 years since we first auditioned Camila Escobar and Emily Tynan McDaniel for Part III of our anthology COMPASSION. The film was elevated because of these performers and we hope to work with them again some day.
Director's Note: It was upon re-watching this clip from callbacks that I knew they would be great together... specifically at the 00:41 mark 😂

We are looking for an ANIMATOR to help produce a short film (100% animation). This is a low-budget project, so pay is not scale--it is much more of a partnership. We are open to style variations, but it is a dark, dramatic story.
Details:
Pay: Stipend and Partnership, Non-Union
Time Frame: Ideally produced over this Summer if possible
Story: Animal-rights focused
TRT: Approx. 3-5 minutes
Again, we are looking for a partner on the project. We have funds available for a small stipend, and to cover expenses such as Festival Entries, Promotion, etc. Please DM if interested.

While we will keep an active presence here on FB and over on IG, as of tonight we have removed all our accounts from Twitter.
