Hey kids, I wanted to let you all know about the auditions we're having for the Superhero Short Film. It'll be on Tuesday, May 27th between 5 and 7pm. Let me know if you're interested and we'll schedule specific time for you. Here are some details:
The Alter Egos Society is seeking to cast the remaining characters for our action-comedy superhero short film (not yet titled). The finished film will be around 30-45 minutes long.
We’ll film starting in mid June and continue through July (working with people’s schedules) in close in Portland.
This is not a paying gig. Any money raised from the project will go to benefit p:ear (a local non profit that provides opportunities for homeless and transitional youth).
The Story
Three independent superheroes track their respective arch enemies, not knowing their enemies are working together. The three villains plan to capture the heroes to avoid being thwarted. Battle ensues. When an interstellar creature threatens the Earth they must band together to defeat it.
The characters (not yet cast):
The Sorcerer, protector of this dimension from malevolent mystical forces. Intelligent, stoic and slightly aloof. When he’s standing quietly he’s actually pondering the distant corners of adjacent dimensions.
Men age 30-50
Sky Ray, a superheroine from the future who traveled back hundreds of years to our time. She is capable and likable, but a bit of a space cadet at times. Dark hair. She could possibly have an accent.
Women age 21-35
Pandora, a mysterious psychic who casually tampers with people’s minds so she can enjoy luxury without having to pay for it. She’s probably the most evil of the villains but you like her regardless because of what a smooth operator she is.
Women age 25-40
Yorick the Magnificent, former circus performer that lost everything dear to him. He turned to a life of crime for fame. A bit melodramatic with his role as a prankster villain though he’s strangely childlike at other times.
Men age 21-35
Auditions will be Tuesday (May 27th) evening in Northeast Portland. Sign up by contacting Co-Director, Benja Barker at: alteregosparty@yahoo.com or 503-839-5274
Actors will be asked to sight read from our script, partnered with other auditioners. We welcome all ethnicities to help fill out this cast. The time commitment will be a for about 14 days (after work and weekends) spread out over June and July. Must also be available for a costume fitting.

Re: Auditions for Superhero Short Film
Tue, May 27, 2008 - 6:55 PMi wanted to let you know that I only heard back from Amuna today when I got into phone service. She says she doesn't know if she will be here this summer, so no Amuna for the shiny.
