VIR Productions is casting for a training video for a worldwide audience. This is a paying project.

The training video is for a client in China and focuses on actors who may not speak English very well. This is perfect for those who can speak English with an authentic accent from a country outside of the US (China, India, Australia, etc.) or for those who English is a second language.

The set-up is in an office where managers will present information to employees through video chat, voice mail and text. This means the manager will speak directly to the camera to ask "the audience" (which could be any employee around the world) what they think they should do to resolve issues the managers present. Actors need to be comfortable speaking directly to the camera and have their personality come through so that the audience is engaged and motivated.

The shoot dates are Tuesday, February 16th and Wednesday, February 17th (all actors won’t be needed for both days or all day). The location for the shoot is near I35 and Parmer Lane, Austin, TX 78753. The address and directions will be provided.

Characters (These ethnicities and accents are flexible):

Tommy Lin: Preferably a Chinese man, Age 30s-50s and speak English, but not necessarily well.

Mo Ang: Asian female, Age 30s-50s, able to speak with authentic asian accent.

Susan McKay: Female, Age 30s-50s, Caucasian, preferably not from the US or able to create an authentic accent not from the US.

David Levi: Preferably Indian, Age 30s-50s, able to speak with authentic Indian accent. Open to other ethnicities as well including the US.

Joe Woo: Asian male, Age 18-30's.

Manager / Senior Employee: Any gender and ethnicity, Age 20s-50s.

Presenter / Narrator: Any gender and ethnicity, Age 20s-50s.

Headshots and Resumes:

When you email your headshot and resume, please make sure the Subject Line of your email reads: Ambo / (what Gender you are) /(what Ethnicity you are) / (What Accent you can use).

An EXAMPLE of this would look like this: (Subject: Ambo / Male / Chinese / Chinese)

The Movie Trailer for
Wonder 8 (The Tree Man).

By, Joshua Maxwell
Copyright 2009 Joshua Maxwell.

This feature length film, tinkering on the boarder of
Science fiction and dark comedy, takes you on a
twisted journey through the life of Sphaden; a young
man in his late 20's with zero goals or desires. He
has a love for trees and an addiction to Valium that
help him cope with abandonment issues and a broken
family. After a failed attempt at looking for a job,
he comes into contact with the strange Professor
Sterling and helps the Professor cope with the moral
struggles behind his ability to turn people in to
tree's and to replicate Space Aliens most sacred of
all wonders (WONDER 8) The Tree Man.
Sphaden's assistance in the Professor's struggle puts
him in several bazaar situations and gives him the
worldly and other worldly understanding he needs to
realize that his desire is to become a tree.

I am only casting for the movie trailer at the moment

We are casting for female talent ONLY!

We are holding a second round of auditions in February for our Mock-Trailer. Date, Time and Location are TBA. Feature film under consideration for funding.

Madam Hack's House of Hostile Hussies is about two girl gangs, a roller derby mafia called "The Sadistic Sweethearts" and a skateboarding street gang of cold blooded assassins called "The Cut Throat Cuties." They are fighting over power, money and one man. This man is said to hold the answer to all their problems. These women will kill each other and die just to hear one word from his mouth. But most of all The Cut Throat Cuties are fighting to overthrow Madam Hack, the leader of the Sadistic Sweethearts and ruin her idea of revolution and sisterhood.

If you are looking for a movie that finally lets women kick serious ass, be naughty and nice, and break every iconoclastic stigma of what a woman's role is in movies, then, this is the audition for you! We are looking for women with brass ovaries, moxie and lots and lots of attitude! The shy and timid need not apply. This is an action/comedy/dark comedy. Skateboarding and roller skating experience a plus! All cast members will be required to learn staged combat.
All ethnicity's encouraged to apply, must be 18+.

This is a no pay gig, however we are offering a copy of the DVD, film credit, the chance to be cast in the feature, and of course all meals paid.
