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)
