Who wants to play film industry?

I’m shooting the pilot episode of a funny, short web series July 4th to 7th, 2009. It’s called Act Natural, and it’s an original, dry comedy series about the surreal world of commercial actors. It follows the lives of three less-than-perfect actors with visions of success but very different viewpoints as they try to make careers for themselves in film & TV. Think Flight of the Conchords, It’s Always Sunny, and Arrested Development. The show is comprised of short, web-only episodes 5-10 minutes in length.

I’m looking for enthusiastic, dedicated up-and-comers who’d like to get involved with the production side of the project in the areas of wardrobe, hair/makeup, production co-ordination, craft, sound, set decoration or design, and props. If you’re trying to build a reel or resume, or want to get involved in indie production, this might be a great way to get your feet wet (or wetter).

This is a no-budget, beyond-indie web show, but you never know with these things. I’m looking to build a great up-and-coming cast and crew who can learn, grow and find opportunities through the project. My plan is to build a small following for the show on the web, and then leverage that either through sponsorship, syndication, or reproduction for a larger media body.

All positions are non-paying for the pilot, but there will be a limited budget for essential items, food, etc. Experience isn’t crucial; resourcefulness, enthusiasm and a good attitude are.

You can download the script here.

    Just a quick update: The show now has its own home on the web. It’s at actnaturalshow.com. It’s just a news page at the moment, but once the pilot is done I’ll have something appropriately awesome prepared.

    If you’re following preproduction of the show, especially for crew calls and casting notices, that’s the place to be.
