<div>I used my years of experience in New York City theater to start a website that shares insider tips and candid advice with aspiring actors (it's called actortips.com and it's free, so please stop by). It discusses theater, film, and commercials, and provides tips for getting started and moving ahead in the industry. <br/> <br/>Actually, my tip page became so popular that it became my full-time job. Now, I’ve started my own online business, dedicated to starting tips pages and selling related projects (http://www.tipzu.com/). It provides a free website, free shopping cart software, and lots of advice for building a profitable business on the web.

If your interested in the movie you can e-mail me at: aberrantbehaviormovie@gmail.com. I have already casted some of the roles and have people working on it, I just have not cast all of them yet and of course the female lead. <br/> <br/>There will be some paid roles (of course the leads) but this is a low budget (around 25-35,000 or so) affair so it won't be a whole lot. Just to warn you. <br/> <br/>Aberrant Behavior, is basically a love story about two self destructive anarchistic-y street kids who have an exaggerated form of pica, a disorder where people feel compelled to eat non-food materials, carpet, dirt, soap, drano, various chemicals, etc. as portrayed as a drug addiction. They have a very co-dependent relationship and with there disorders too , they literally destroy each other. <br/> <br/>There's more to it, but that's the basic synopsis. If you can't make it to the auditions, you can send me a head shot with resume, or whatever you want. We can then decide when and where to meet. <br/> <br/>THERE WILL BE SOME SEXUALITY AND NUDITY FOR THE TWO LEADS, AS WELL AS MISTY AND FOGGY TO A LESSER DEGREE. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME FOR THOSE ROLES, IF YOUR NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

Living off the state for mental depression, and addiction, but eventually breaks himself from the state. He hates the state, and normal life in general. He hates almost everything. He is sort of sloppy hipster, slightly emo, slight slight slight goth meets street kid. Light or no body mod, piercings, etc. He eventually lives on the street because of choice.He falls in love with Aiko. SOME NUDITY AND SEXUALS SITUATIONS REQUIRED-CAST <br/> <br/>Aiko Zumbi (18-early twenties or look like it) Half Japanese/Half German (or Japanese, or half Japanese/Half white). Shorter than Victor, thin but still slightly curvy. <br/>Street kid with a bit of dark hippie. Has been sexually abused as a child. Prone to violence. Prone to long winded rants, or sometimes just total silence. Dark, cynical, with a very bleak view of life. Body mods, tattoo's, piercings, fine. Dreaded or colored hair fine as well. Actually preffered. She falls in love with Victor. SOME NUDITY AND SEXUAL SITUATIONS REQUIRED. <br/> <br/> <br/>SUPPORTING LEADS: <br/>Pedida Muertos- (20's -40's)-Mexican- Victor's nearly catatonic - mute drug addict mother, who is usually messing around with strange men, and drugged up.

<div>I used my years of experience in New York City theater to start a website that shares insider tips and candid advice with aspiring actors. It discusses theater, film, and commercials, and provides tips for getting started and moving ahead in the industry. It's completely free and we've got a great community! Check it out at www.actortips.com <br/> <br/>Actually, my tip page got so popular that I decided to start my own online business, dedicated to starting tips pages.

<div>Digital Hollywood Spring '08 celebrates new talent in the "New Social Digital Media Landscape," when it meets May 5-8 in Hollywood, holding events like the VIP opening day dinner hosted by Tim Chang, featuring Damon Wayans, Tyrese Gibson, and Chuck D, and a poolside reception hosted by Microsoft Media Center.

Delray Beach Film Festival makes its third annual start from May 6-11, offering independent short and feature-length films, such as Stella Oliveros' biographic retelling of events in her life in Pretty In Red (May 9 at 4 pm), and documentaries, panels and workshops, concerts, screenwriter and filmmaker contests, actors, and parties, all taking place in the Delray Beach village set by the sea. The Blues Foundation presents its 29th Blues Music Awards May 8 in Tunica.

The 12th Annual Durango Songwriters Expo, co-sponsored by BMI, is a blend of music business seminars and workshops, song listening/critique sessions, live songwriter showcases, and a live hit-writer concert to close the event.

<div>Here ye here ye! <br/> <br/>A Santa Cruz based children’s entertainment company, http://www.happilyeverlaughterparties.com is on the search for a new performer! This is the perfect way to add some sparkle to your life (and extra cash) while only working 1-2 days per week! You can live anywhere in the Bay Area, as the position requires travel to several different cities. If you have an eye for costume and make-up design, and a knack for making children laugh, this may be your dream come true! <br/> <br/>Unlike most children’s entertainment providers, we do not use wigs or franchised characters. We like to remind children what can happen if you just let your imagination run wild, instead of just copying the television/movie characters. Each costume is hand-made by the head Faerie (Fae) and truly unique. <br/> <br/>Job Description; <br/> <br/>Attend events around the Bay Area as a whimsical character (Mermaid, Faerie, Princess etc) and perform a simple magic show, twist colorful balloons, paint faces, make puppets come alive, and many other fun activities! Each performance is only an hour and a half and your compensation will be $80.00 (plus tips!)...and sometimes more (sometimes parties are longer in which case you are compensated $30 per extra 1/2 hr. Also, if you party is more than 1 hour from your home, you are compensated $30 per extra hour of driving, roundtrip). As you gain experience, you may have the option to attend 3-4 parties a weekend! <br/> <br/>Full Faerie training will be provided to the right applicant. The training will consist of 3-4 sessions of 2-3 hours in Santa Cruz. Your compensation will begin after your initial training (these are skills you get to keep for a lifetime) with your first tag-a-long (where you get to see a real live Faerie perform!). With proper practice, you could begin performing by the end of April! Again, the training will take place at the Tree House headquarters in Santa Cruz, CA...the schedule is quite flexible. After each training session, you will be required to rehearse on your own time to prepare for a final performance for me (the head Faerie). If you have too much on your plate (full time student+extra job+slaying dragons in the evenings), you should not apply for this job. It takes a lot of time to become a true Faerie, but the reward is immense. Once trained, the job doesn't take much time at all. Just 1.5 hours per party! <br/> <br/>You must have your own, reliable vehicle, as you may have to travel up to 1 hour away (depending on where you live) for the event. Most shows are in San Jose or San Francisco. You also MUST be punctual. Being on time (and even early) is more important than anything else. If this is a problem for you, do not apply. I ask that you are available 3 weekends a month, with one weekend off (if you want, you can work 4 weekends). Anytime off must be requested at least one month in advance. <br/> <br/>Applicants are strongly recommended to have experience with theater, young children, music, glitter, and working independently. <br/> <br/>Email your resume to (please, NO phone calls) <br/>happilyeverlaughter@gmail.com <br/>and include a current photo of yourself, any special talents, and at least 3 references (not family). These positions usually yield a lot of applicants, so I encourage you to make your resume stand out! This is one job where creativity comes first, so let it shine! Good luck! <br/> <br/>Respectfully, <br/>Fae Diddle Diddle </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://networkedartists.tribe.net">Actors &amp; Artists Making Connections</a> - 0 replies </div>

Betsy Perry: Female, 18-24, white. (lead) A rebellious teen who years earlier learned to hate Christmas when a drunk Santa told her she was getting "Nuttin' for Christmas."

Looks down on the Perry family as the wrong type of people, even though she employs her former classmate Dee Dee. She is presently playing a very active role in getting Mayor Skip Martin elected to the state senate. She has even arranged for a big media blitz by raffling off a historic Victorian house in town during the holidays in hopes of getting the mayor free publicity with a Norman Rockwell type moment. She currently has taken her late sister's son Marcus Hall into the home. She is also the mother of Ursula and wife of Les Everham. Harmony Perry: Female, 18-24, white. The paternal twin of Betsy.

He is pompous and is a perfect enabler for his daughter Ursula and wife Cleo. He is not thrilled about Marcus moving into his home. Skip Martin: Male, 31-40, white. The young and charming mayor of the town. He has leaned on Cleo to help organize a run for the state senate for the following year.

Ballet Background a plus. Urusla Everham: Female, 18-24, white. The 17-year-old daughter of Cleo and Les. She is also befriended Harmony in grade school and sees her as a work in progress.
