Comments
***Audition notes***
Actors we are interested in will be invited to self-tape, and sent a link through Casting Workbook to upload their audition.
***Director's note***
Very grounded tone. Don't play into the absurdity. You’re not in on the jokes. Think “Shaun of the Dead”
*** JD Smith's last short film is currently on the festival circuit. His previous short went on to screen in many top comedy film festivals, was nominated at Just For Laughs, and won Best Comedy at Toronto Shorts International Film Festival***

Storyline
Four friends find themselves in the midst of a possible murder and try to figure a way to diffuse the situation... unfortunately each one is more inept then the other.
*A Dramedy*
Will be shot as a fake one take. The script will be broken into separate scenes, so the actors don’t need to pull off the whole script in one shot. We’ll have one day (at full day rate) of rehearsal and then one shoot day the next day.
