Synopsis:
A new intern for Hell and Back Inc., a paranormal investigative team specializing in exorcisms, arrives at a client’s house to extract the demon, only to realize the symbiotic demon-human relationship might need more counseling than cleansing…
Character Breakdowns:
Lucy – a sometimes oblivious go getter who always does almost every last bit of prep work.

Mark – a hotshot paranormal veteran whose arrogant level of seniority occasionally gets him in over his head.

Claire/Dmetri – a civil but mildly disgruntled demon residing in Claire’s body. Less afraid, Claire is more unhappy than anything with her consensual relationship.

Other Audition Dates and Times:
Will take video submissions on any given day. Send to auggierobertson@gmail.com. For an internship whose final cut of the film is due on the 30th, so I have created moderately hard deadlines and am semi-flexible to people’s schedules!
Crew Positions Needed:
a makeup/vfx artist to make actress playing Claire/Dmetri look possessed (however, do not need role fulfilled if said actress playing role can create makeup composition beforehand to look possessed/strung out/etc…)I am a one-man-band crew, so to speak, who can theoretically create a piece from scratch having all the necessary equipment and barebones skills at my disposal as I am a Creative Media Production graduate from The University of Oklahoma, Having said this, am also constantly taking and on the lookout for other artistic input, both cast and crew talent alike.
Compensation:
Non-Paid
If non-paid, we will provide meals, snacks or beverages for cast and crew
Agreed
SAG:

Instructions for candidates:
Actress playing Claire/Dmetri – if you have the skill set, please arrive with the ability to create a makeup composition. Do not show up in makeup, as we can shoot all of the Claire footage first, then switch for you to wear the makeup with the more “drained aura” to embody Dmetri speaking

Actor playing Mark – please arrive in a pseudo jock ensemble (letterman jeans boots, etc.) Bring a cross for good measure if you have access to one.

Actress playing Lucy – please arrive in a fairly preppy outfit/very booksmart appearance. If you have a pair of reading glasses, bring them as well!
