    For the next week, our four person production team will be holding auditions for a number of roles in our short film, which is due to begin shooting on 29/10!

    It is a 5 minute absurd comedy, set in the queue of a supermarket, where we join our protagonist "Clay" - a middle-aged man reluctantly having to make a quick purchase, but ending up getting more than he bargained for as he is forced to wait in a formidable line of supermarket dwellers. Things gradually become more and more absurd, as Clay's trip to the convenience store becomes far from a convenience.

    Our first auditions will be held on Sunday at between 12pm and 4pm, with other timeslots available throughout the upcoming week.

    Rehearsals will begin as soon as we have a lead and a number of supporting roles on board!

    *Roles available!*

    1. We are looking for our "Clay" (major role), a 30 something-middle aged married man. He feels completely indifferent to the supermarket experience, though has to make the stop off as a favour to his wife.
    A background or interest in comedy is preferred, but not necessarily necessary.

    2. We are looking for "Clay's wife". Late twenties-thirties.

    3. We are looking for an apathetic/angst-fuelled "checkout chick" around her early twenties.
    4. And her overly friendly, happy-go-lucky "supervisor" who is a relatively large man in his late 20sish.

    We are looking for a variety of characters who are in the supermarket line. The supporting and minor roles include:

    5. A racist, patience-testing old lady.

    6. A beer-gutted man (who will appear with a handlebar moustache &/or mullet).

    7&8. Two atypical millennials in their late teens/early twenties... and their iPhones.

    9&10.Two men for the dramatic roles of Robber #1 and Robber #2.

    11+more. And extras! (With the likelihood of speaking parts!)

    A script will be provided for anyone interested, though would love to get people on board who are comfortable/willing to experiment and improvise!

    Please get in touch with, Izzy, Director, at isobelgee@live.com.au or 0412344527.
    OR, David Ellis, Production Manager, on davy_162@iinet.net.au or 0419914433.
