Casting Notice: "Apocrypha Episode 1" Short (Piedmont Triad)

See Jane Shoot Films, in conjunction with StumbleMuse Productions, is now casting for our first production, Apocrypha Episode 1. This is a series of 7 short films that will hopefully be shot over a period of a couple of years. It's a story of the epic battle between angels and demons and an extraordinary being that could prove to be the last salvation of human-kind.

Breakdown:
Alaina: Alaina is a physically and emotionally strong young woman who hasn’t had the best life, growing up in foster care and shuffled around to numerous uncaring foster parents. At the start of our story, on the day she turns 21, she finds out the truth behind her parentage and must make a decision. Alaina is essentially a statuesque ‘bombshell’, tall and attractive with long flowing hair.

Note: This character is involved in a choreographed fight scene so actresses must be physically fit and active. In addition to a full cast run-through, this role requires training sessions for this fight scene. As this film is the first in a series of seven, I would like an actress that will be available for future episodes.

Uriel: Archangel Uriel is the angel of destiny. He arrives on Earth to inform Alaina of her destiny. He is a tall, muscular, imposing man: someone you would not want to get into a fight with. He appears to be in his early to late 40’s.

Note: Uriel will make an appearance in several of the subsequent six remaining episodes so actors must be available to reprise the role in the future.

Jim Brewer/Leviathan: The powerful demon Leviathan is masquerading on Earth as Jim Brewer, slumlord and manager of the trailer park where Alaina coincidentally happens to live. Jim is a tall, slimy looking man (as befits his alter ego). He’s extremely persuasive and charming although Alaina can see through the act. He appears to be in his early to late 40’s.

Note: This character is involved in a choreographed fight scene with Alaina so actors must be physically fit and active. In addition to a full cast run-through, this role requires training sessions for this fight scene.

Gethel: Gethel is the angel of hidden things. Although he’s a lower ranking angel, he’s extremely sarcastic and thinks such mundane things as mesmerizing humans is below him. Gethel has a medium build and height; he has more of an intellectual look. He appears to be in his late 20s to early 30s.

Note: Gethel will make an appearance in several of the subsequent six remaining episodes so actors must be available to reprise the role in the future.

Joe: Joe is the everyday, friendly bartender at the local bar. He knows everyone in the town and is generally a good guy, willing to help out his neighbors. He is in his late 30’s or early 40’s and has a medium build and height.
