1st Auditions. Wednesday Dec 16

Here is some background information on the scenes and characters being covered on this audition if you want the actual slides please contact me through an e-mail and I'll send them to you for wednesday. Good Luck!

SUMMARY
Somewhere in the middle of the forest lives a developed culture of beings that have been there since anyone can remember. They are extremely close to one another so this culture is like one gigantic family. This Culture has a coming of age ritual that everyone gathers around for and has a grand ceremony and celebration. A distinct Individual and his best friend have arrived at that age to par-take in the ritual. This story is about that certain one individual who decides not to go through with this ritual, in belief that he is meant for something other than what has already been planned for him. It's a story about friendship, taking that step where you're on your own, and following everything that has ever dwelt in your heart.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

TROCEED: pronounced "tro-sid" Troceed is the individual character that decides not to take part in the ritual that goes on. He can be defined as one of the hidden artists. Troceed greatly enjoys what his eyes let him see, he loves the way he see's nature and all other beautiful things. He would be the one who would stop and observe something strange he's seen while walking if he has never seen it before. No body knows what really happened to Troceed's father so he has been raised by his tender mother which he amires. Other than that he has his best friend (Varin) which he has known since he can remember and another friend (Asing) who he knows so well she could be his sister. However he gets a hunch there may be more feelings going on than it may seem. (Looking for deep emotions here guys. Gotta feel it.)

VARIN: Varin is the best friend to Troceed and has a strong relationship with another friend (Asing) Secretly Varin is discovering that he is gaining more feelings for Asing the more he is around her. This is new to him since they have been friends for many years. Varin is the one character in this story who has to make the most decisions out of any other character. He has a lot to live up to including his father, The Head Heron (who is the leader of the entire culture), so he does have his pride within him, Making people happy, trying to respect everyone and basically prove himself. He wants to be impressive to people and to his father. He also can be very flirtatious and sarcastic, and at the same time secretly sensitive and sincere.

ASING: Asing has mostly been around children as she helps her mother look after lots of the little ones while her father is away most of the time. She spends a lot of her time as well with her two best friends (Troceed & Varin). So there is a slight part of her that can be a bit tom-boyish.... in a way. Even though she may hint and pick up the clues about how Varin is starting to feel about her... Asing actually realizes her eye is more on Troceed. But of course she doesn't want to be obvious ;). She believes very strongly about where she is and is a determined person who will do what needs to be done or taken care of.

SCENE DESCRIPTIONS

"1.Open" - This is one of the opening scenes that is introducing the three characters above. Troceed has some sort of trinket that he is focused on and fiddling with. During this scene Troceed and Varin have forgotten to be at the opening ceremony if they weren't later told by Asing who comes running in to remind them.

"2.Conv" - This is the conversation Asing and Varin have about Troceed and what they think from there point of view and where they discover the outcome that Troceed is to be punished by.

"3. Tro. Mon." - This is the monologue Troceed gives to his mother trying to bring everything he believes in to a point. He is trying to get his mother to understand and see his side of things because she is still in awe about refusing the ritual.

"4. End" - This is one of the pivital moments at the end where Varin has become enraged and is certain that Troceed should deserve punishment after what he's done. Varin is so full of frustration, pressure, and rage that he almost can't control it. Everything has driven him mad as he's become obsessed with his rage and wont listen to a thing Troceed tries to say to him. He thinks there is only one way to make things right and its up to him to set things that way. Its the biggest turning point of the ending scenes. (Same thing guys lots of emotion)

These do not need to be memorized, but is encouraged. You do not need to bring another peice to audition with, just the sides that were given to you. You will be in front of a camera filming your audition. Whether or not you make the role we have plenty of room for extras and behind the scenes help if your still interested.
This is no pay but I do plan to try to enter it in a Film Festival later in 2010 so IF it picks up then...who knows :)
