Waste Update # 1 - 'Last Orders!'
Hey Beautiful People,
Just thought I'd stop by to let you guys know the latest on what's happening with the 'WasteMan - The Movie!’ project.
We held first round auditions on 18/19 April and what a crazy couple of days they were! From people who think a WasteMan is a refuse collector, to those who believe WasteMen are simply one type of demographic - in one country, to women who are living with deep WasteMan inflicted scars who tried to murder our temporary WasteMan, Dúbb'l yoo T, it was an emotional, eventful two days!! (For those of you who are worried, it's okay, the deep tissue scars around Dúbb's neck are fading now...finally!)
We’ve short-listed some fantastically realistic ‘Baby-Mothers’ and have successfully cast 3 WasteMen, plus a few of the other core characters. The next stage in the process is to cast the remaining characters, which includes the following:
WasteMan x 3 Male (Age Appearance: 30) White/Caucasian
WasteMan’s Baby Mother x 1 Female (Age Appearance: 30) White/Caucasian
WasteMan’s Daughter x 1 Female (Age Appearance: 4) Black
‘Video Chicks’ x 6 Female (Age Appearance: varied)
‘Jurors’ x 5 Male (Age Appearance & Ethnicity: varied)
‘Jurors’ x 7 Female (Age Appearance & Ethnicity: varied)
Please note that ‘WasteMan – The Movie!’ will be a short film, not a feature length movie and is based on the poem ‘WasteMan’ (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/topic.php?uid=82441321538&topic=24826)
The final round of auditions will take place on Sunday 17th May, at a London (N1) location. Facebook Invite: http://www.facebook.com/pages/WasteMan-The-Movie/82441321538?ref=mf#/event.php?eid=46446469968&ref=mf
Everyone who auditions will be expected to enact a scene from the poem or similar scenario. They will also need to be available for rehearsals during May and filming during June 2009 (full schedule details to be confirmed at a later date). So, if you know anyone who’ll be interested in auditioning, I ask again, please direct them to this information :-) Your help will be most appreciated.
Bless, Comfort

Casting...
We wrote the poem, and it’s been performed in front of audiences across the Capital, resulting in a wide spectrum of reactions - ranging from squeals of delight to disgruntled daggers of disdain. Now it’s time for you, the WasteMan lover, hater or follower, to get involved!
Comfort, Dúbb’l yoo T & Socialize Media are making a short film to accompany the poem ‘WasteMan’, and we’re looking for a host of characters, to play various parts.
Having held auditions on 18/19 April, we have some of the key characters already but, we still need the following:
WasteMan x 3 Male (Age Appearance: 30) White/Caucasian
WasteMan’s Baby Mother 3 x 1 Female (Age Appearance: 30) White/Caucasian
WasteMan’s Daughters x 1 Female (Age Appearance: 4) Black
‘Video Chicks’ x 6 Female (Age Appearance: varied)
‘Jurors’ x 5 Male (Age Appearance & Ethnicity: varied)
‘Jurors’ x 7 Female (Age Appearance & Ethnicity: varied)
You will be expected to enact a scene from the poem or similar scenario during the audition(s). You will also need to be available for rehearsals during May and filming during June 2009 (full schedule details to be confirmed at a later date).
Synopsis: WasteMan – The Movie!
Aspiring to be a successful Emcee, 30 year old Darren Thompson lives a comedy faux bling lifestyle adorned with big dreams. With false hope and a façade of stunning girls, jewellery, flash cars, designer clothes and copious amounts of alcohol, the stark reality is that he lives with his Mum (sharing a bedroom with his younger Brother), has only ever had one job and treats Fatherhood as an occasional pastime. Follow Emcee Grind in WasteMan – The Movie, the hilarious journey of a poor excuse for a man with no sense of responsibility, respect for women or an inkling of what it means to be a man.
Please note that ‘WasteMan – The Movie!’ will be a short film, not a feature length movie and is based on the poem ‘WasteMan’ (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/topic.php?uid=82441321538&topic=24826)
If you feel that you fit the description of any of the characters required and would like to attend the final day of auditions for this project, and haven’t already done so, please submit the following information via email, to WasteManTheMovie@ymail.com ASAP:
· Name
· Age

· Ethnicity
· Your definition of what a ‘WasteMan’ is
· A sentence on why you think you should play the character you’re applying for
· Where you heard about the project

The final round of auditions will take place on Sunday 9th May, at a London location (in N1 - exact details will be confirmed on receipt of your information).
We look forward to hearing from you.

Auditions for 'WasteMan - The Movie!'

If you are successful in securing an audition slot, you will be welcome to bring a short (no more than 5 minute) video clip of yourself performing. Formats acceptable are USB, DVD or Mobile Phone.

Are we REALLY making a movie called 'WasteMan'?!
People have been asking “Are you really making a movie about a WasteMan?!” and the simple answer is ‘no’! We’re making a short film called ‘WasteMan – The Movie!’ which will follow a day in the life of a ‘WasteMan’ called Darren Thompson* and will accompany the Poem ‘WasteMan’ written by myself and Dúbb’l yoo T.
This is going to be a humorous project aimed at injecting a level of light-hearted fun and craziness into your life! So, if you want to be kept up to date on progress, ‘follow’ the blog. You can also join us on Facebook.
Stay tuned for the next instalment…

Welcome to WasteMan – The Movie!
Welcome to WasteMan – The Movie! The blog that aims to keep you posted on the journey of a WasteMan called Darren Thompson*, from conception, to production and everything in between.
The term ‘WasteMan’ means many things to many different people. The one thing that is common amongst all users of the word is that it’s a universal derogatory label. You are unlikely to hear a woman say to her boyfriend “You’re such a WasteMan!” followed by him smiling and viewing it as a term of endearment! LOL
People often wonder if the poem is about an ex of mine (it isn’t), and ask how it came about, so I’ll explain….WasteMan is a term I’d heard used frequently, in lots of random places; while walking down the street, sitting on public transport and in chat rooms and online blogs. The phrase is bandied about as the ultimate cuss word. I discovered a particular Social Networking site had a group dedicated to the WasteMan, with a number of women using it as a sounding board to express their disgust at many a mans behaviour. As well as your average WasteMan ‘on road’, apparently there are numerous male celebrities who also fit the mould with MC Harvey, Peter Doherty, Eddie Murphy and Kevin Federline all cited as WasteMen for various reasons; namely drug abuse, child neglect, womanising and general shameless behaviour. It was reading these ramblings that inspired the original poem which has gone on to cause mixed reactions amongst audiences at shows for the past 18 months.
Women generally find the poem funny, but some men are a little less tickled pink when they hear lyrics depicting what they may feel, is a touch too close to their own heart!
WasteMan was only ever intended to be a humorous account of one man’s treacherous, irresponsible, farcical lifestyle, and as I say to everyone at the end of a performance: if it offended you, you need to check yourself!
It’s been emotional… stay tuned for the next instalment.
