“Simon Says” Auditions and Casting Call for Actors

Filmic Productions Presents… “Simon Says” Auditions

Filmic Productions is holding auditions in Ann Arbor for the film “Simon Says”.

Synopsis:

Simon is great at his job. He’s worked at Equity Corp. for 5 years now and is frequently rewarded Employee of the Month; however, this is not your typical place of employment. Workers at Equity Corp are assigned to cause accidents, thereby ‘leveling the playing field’ and increasing fairness in the world. They sit behind their desks in front of their operation boards, pressing unique combinations of buttons and levers that trigger specific accidents for specific targets to encounter. When a threat to expose the company is made, Simon is charged with bringing down the suspected culprit – a local TV reporter. As Simon sends accidents his way he begins to question the intentions behind his work and the impact it has on both himself and humanity.

• Simon: (M, 25-45) cares about fairness above all other things. Equity Corp gives him the chance to deliver fairness to others in a way that is highly rationalized and seemingly just. Although mousey, studious, and analytical, Simon has a heart for people at the end of day, and that inevitably gets him into trouble with the company.
• The Boss: (M, 35-50) is ultimately a company man. Suave and collected, the Boss manages Equity Corp with ease and style.
• The Reporter: (M/F 25-30) wants to deeply investigate the world. The Reporter has uncovered some information about Equity Corp, and plans to use TV News to break this story.
• Camera-person: (M/F, 23-30) works for News 8. Doing the job, doing it well.
• Gas Station worker: (M/F, 17+) held at gunpoint on the job. Doesn’t have the best day at work…
• Robbers: (M/F, 18-24) a team of somewhat-skilled petty thieves, these two have an (un?)fortunate run-in with Equity Corp’s work.

Compensation:

AELITA, a computer parts scavenger is down and out; the dregs of post-modern culture. A hardened life on the streets and her leaching boyfriend, OREN, makes her feel more apathetic with each passing day. Breaking into a newly abandoned apartment building, she discovers the means by which to enter into the Cybernet via the enigmatic and mysterious computer-entity, ZOLA. A series of rash decisions makes Aelita enemies with local dealer and hot-headed lunatic, PREZ, who won’t settle for less than to see Aelita and Oren dead on the ground. As Oren races to find Aelita and escape the city, Zola preaches to Aelita of his own newly-founded computer religion bent on mass (computer) suicide and transcendence to the Cybernetic Ether. But when Prez comes to call, Aelita is forced to confront her own existence and make a case for her own agency.
