From those excellent filmmakers at Corduroy Wednesday:
Hello to the fine acting community of Memphis. May I ask you a question? Are you tired of having roles on your resume like "Janitor", "Guy in booth #3", and "Rosencrantz"?
Want some fire power to boost that resume with some "Wowzers!" kinda roles?
Corduroy Wednesday Films, makers of Grim Sweeper, are pleased to announce the production of ELVIS PRESLEY: TCB JUSTICE! This short film will be presented at the Lil Film Fest, a quad-annual Memphis event which features the King of Rock and Roll as its theme for this festival.
It's a five-minute short following the action packed adventures of Elvis & his TCB crew.
We are looking for the following roles: This film takes place in 1970.
Elvis Presley: Not yet fat, but he's got the long hair going.
Jerry Schilling & Sonny West: Caucasian males late 20 to 30s will do.
Frank Sinatra: Ole blue eyes himself.
Dean Martin: Need to play drunk well.
Sammy Davis Jr.: Glass eye not required.
Cybill Shepard: 20's Blonde & blonder.
Ann Margret: 20's to 30's Red Headed hottie.
And one Mr. Jerry Lawler, young Lawler, 20's. Have crown and tights, then we want to talk.
And as extras we need hippies, Black Panthers, and Vietnam War protestors (aka hippies with signs).
Also, anyone who can do a spot on Nixon voice. It's not onscreen but just some quick voice work only.
Shoot dates will be in August and predominantly on weekends. Check the word around town, Corduroy Wednesday is famous for working schedules out with talent and feeding actors on set.
Most roles will require only a day to two days of shooting. Elvis, Jerry, and Sonny may take longer. Also, if you have any costumes that will work (especially a Elvis jumpsuit, flower power outfits or Jerry Lawler crown and gear, we would love to hear form you.)
This project is not a paying gig, but wouldn't you like to say "Yeah my cool cats, I played Sammy Davis Jr. once, who wants an autograph?"
All those interested please contact us at grimsweeper@gmail.com and any headshots, resumes, points of interest you may have send them on over!

Auditions Tuesday for local indie
Hello from Alanna and Katherine (Do You Know Where Your Children Are? Productions)!
We would like to announce the auditions and open reading for our first feature-length movie on Tuesday, July 24 from 5PM to 8PM. Audtions will be at the MeDiA Co-op, 1000 S. Cooper.
The movie, which will be filmed this August, is a modern-day faerie tale which takes place amidst the trials and tribulations of high school. It is funny but serious.
There are roles in the movie for people of diverse ages and backgrounds. Some parts we are looking to cast include: a bumbling gym teacher, a frazzled mother, a well-meaning but dopey father, a success-oriented guidance counselor, several talkative Southern women, and an overly-enthusiastic student. Of course, we also need many high school age students who would be willing to act as extras in several classroom and party scenes. We also seek people willing to spend a day in the pool shooting a synchronized swimming sequence. We welcome experienced actors and those who have never acted before to join us in this project! In short, if the project sounds interesting to you, there is probably a part for you. If you would like to lend a hand with the boom mic or other technical aspects of filming, we would greatly appreciate that as well. It's a no-budget/no-profit movie, so there is no compensation.
Questions? Call Katherine at (901)-674-0959 or Alanna at (901)-493-8900 or email at childrenarehere@gmail.com.
