In-Zer0 Cast/Crew Call


CASTING CALL AND CREW SEARCH

Thought Collide Productions is looking for cast and crew for its new science fiction series, “inZer0.” Join us for a filmmaking opportunity to create the future of Detroit.

OVERVIEW

Set in the near future in a post-apocalyptic world, “inZer0” is the story of an ambitious courier weaving his way through a dangerous city. The future of the human race is at stake as the population has been decimated and is now sterile. Our courier finds himself in the middle of this struggle and encounters many enemies and allies along the way.

PLAN

Shooting for “inZer0” begins in March 2006 with the plan of creating twelve 11-15 minute episodes over the course of a year (one episode per month). When all twelve episodes are complete, Thought Collide Productions will use the series as a demo to pitch the concept to the Sci Fi Channel (or similar network). The intention is to not only gain experience in making movies, but to master the art of production on all fronts. Each episode will be complete in 4 weeks and premiered at the Mitten Movie Project (held on the first Tuesday of each month). We are committed to using the same cast and crew for the Sci Fi Channel version. Until we get signed with a network this is a non-paying project.

AUDITIONS

Casting will be an ongoing process throughout the entire production for “inZer0.” Auditions will be BY APPOINTMENT ONLY on the following Wednesday nights:

  • January 18, 6:00pm - 9:30pm
  • February 1, 6:00pm - 9:30pm
  • February 8, 6:00pm - 9:30pm

Pick a date that best works for you and e-mail Connie (mangilc@yahoo.com) to schedule it. We ask that everyone show up as close to 6 p.m. as possible. All auditions will be held at the following address:

Hastings Street Ballroom
715 East Milwaukee
Detroit, MI 48202
Go to the grey back door in the gravel parking lot and ring the bell.

Please bring a headshot and resume with you. Be prepared to deliver a monologue and read a side. The side will be e-mailed to you when you schedule your casting appointment.

Crew positions currently open include Prop Fabricator, Costume Designer, and Production Assistant. Interested crew should e-mail Connie (mangilc(at)yahoo.com) to schedule an appointment for one of the above dates. Please bring a resume to your appointment.

UPCOMING EVENTS


Saturday, January 28, 9 p.m. – inZer0 Casting Call, Crew Search, and Launch Party at Mephisto’s, Hamtramck (2764 Florian). Live music by The Dead Bodies, Dutch Pink, Jawbone, and RAI. Admission is $7; 18+ welcome. This is a great opportunity for interested actors and crew (and the general public) to meet the director, production team, writers and crew of “inZer0.”

Click here to visit the event on MySpace and indicate you are attending. We strongly encourage you to bulletin and blog this event to assist in providing maximum exposure and bring your friends!

In-Zer0 film series - designers wanted ASAP!

Thought Collidge Productions is working on the In-Zer0 film project and needs fashion designers, fabricators, etc. To find out more about In-Zer0 check the Thought Collide blog. The general look would be 1940's set 100 years into the future.

Fashion Designers
There will be a cast/crew search party on Jan 28 at Mephistos. I would like to hold an informal fashion show during the event where models would walk the event dressed in clothing potentially used in the film series In-Zer0. Potentially there could be 2-3 changes of clothing through the night. When wearing outfits the designer's information should be available with the model. So prepare a slip or business cards that can be used by the models. This is going to require immediate contact with me. I'll also be interested in hearing from makeup/hair stylists.

Fabricators (Jewelry / Artifacts)
Props for the film are required. This can range from jewelry, artifacts, to large objects and set designs. If you feel you have something to contribute, let us know. Wearable designs would be perfect for showcasing during the party @ Mephisto's Jan 28.

Contact info
Send an email to info(at)thoughtcollide.com to be in touch with what is going on. Of course I'd like to know you saw my post too - so CC me on the message too (stephen_boyle2020(at)yahoo.com).

Auto Show paid gig - Cancelled

Bad news ... the organizers have decided not to use models for the Auto Show related party.

They are interested in using talent at future events and will be contacting me as a photographer as well.
