Details
Please note: This listing has been updated to reflect some minor changes to the lead female character.

I am filming a pilot in order to pitch a TV series for a comedy/drama about a young couple trying to conceive their first child.

To streamline the audition process, it would be helpful if you have links to any work you have done previously (e.g. Youtube, Vimeo).

I have a story arc mapped out for 3-series, with 8-13 episodes each but of course, I need a pilot first! The series deals with adult issues & contains profanity.

This pilot is on a shoe-string budget. I can barely feed myself so I'm asking anyone that would like to participate please understand it is on a voluntary basis. Also, I do not pretend I have some top producer waiting to see the work because I really don't. I just want the take the dive, film a pilot, hope it turns out good and take it from there. And I want some fun, motivated people to join me with the challenge!

I have made several short films, the first of which I made in 2003/2004 and won Best Drama at the New York Independent Film & Video Festival 2004.

Some of my projects are on Youtube. I tried putting the links here but it didn't work! Please search or Google Youtube for:

Pete (2004) Short Film
The Shelf - Comedy - Short Film
The One With Two Doritos

All projects are done in my spare time as my day job is running a cinema. It keeps my landlord happy.

If you are interested in one of the roles detailed, please get in touch. If you think you may be able to help in some other capacity, I would love to hear from you too.

Many Thanks.

Benefits: Copy of film supplied, Showreel material, Food provided/allowance (expenses), Invite to screening, Regular updates about film's progress
