I'm a pretty open minded person when it comes to what my kids do in the name of acting, but this one chilled me just imagining her doing this role PLUS explaining what is going on (murder!Abortions!Nightmares! YaY!)

I actually wouldn't do this myself!

I don't think all directors/writers/CDs really understand how important the breakdown actually is, in terms of making a first impression on people you'd like to cast. So I'm always interested in the ones that communicate "hey, we have no freaking idea what we're doing":

BIRTH CONTROL
Feature Film
SAG

[ BILL MURPHY ]
- Lead / MALE / 25 TO 45 This for the Adam Sandler, Will Farrell, Seth Rogen, Will Smith type. Bill is a TV personality who is a big womanizer and scared of commitment. Loves flirting and he plays the field well and maintains a steady on and off relationship with his girlfriend Jessica.

You know, that one type that encompasses all these actors.

STEPFORD WIFE
Student Film
NYU SCPS Summer Film Intensive
16mm color sync sound
SEEING SAG AND NON-SAG
NO PAY - COPY, CREDIT

[ KYLE ]
The husband, Mid 20s-30s. A man deeply in love. Married his childhood sweetheart and his whole world revolves around her. Is schizophrenic but that is just factual and does not effect his character to behave abnormally in day to day to activities at all. Develops an imaginary Sarah on her death and later meets the real spirit. Is caught between the temptation of being with the Stepford and the 'real' wife.

Since schizophrenia is such a mild disorder and all.

Well, certainly they shouldn't have any trouble finding takers for James.

This is an incredible thread.

I just wanted to take a look - and got stuck.

This belongs into a breakdown zoo.

You guys are great that you can take this mentally dilapidated stuff with such humor.

O.k., hate to be a drag here, but my kid was in a movie that was funded personally by the director. He felt very passionately about this project so he went ahead and refinanced his house. My kid sent a video audition in, and in all the other kids he auditioned for this role in NY,NJ,CT,PA, he chose my kid. She got paid and everything, alot. The other actor kid in the movie had an agent, manager, etc. The guy was really nice, had a good script, moved things along, had a crew, you name it. Now he is looking for funding to get it into festivals. This is probably one of the sites that he's going to throw it up on. What a way to go, they should have at least alerted your friends who submitted that they were only going to get producer credits, only, I think. Anyway, back to the show.
