What's it all about?
We are making a pilot for a TV comedy-drama series, written and
directed by Steve Price. This a mockumentary about one lone
vigilante's efforts to capture the legendary Beast of Dartmoor,
which he believes to be a giant axe wielding rabbit. We require
a quartet of central characters (three of which have already
been cast) who can play the absurdity of the situation dead
straight. The actress we are after must be able to play a range
of emotions including highly stressed, sexually frustrated,
stoned, loved up and deeply worried. She must speak with a light
Devonshire accent.
This is a self-funded project, shooting late spring and early
summer this year and you will be required to commit to two
one-week blocks of shooting.
Steve Price is an established director with a history in music
videos and broadcast documentaries and has director credits with
the BBC and Channel 4. He is also well known for directing
coverage of live rock concerts and has worked with a variety of
artists including Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Arctic Monkeys,
Faithless and many other well known acts across the world.
We need a female 25-42 yrs, caucasian to play an NHS Nurse
Elaine, who is married to Alan, a self styled Devon based
vigilante on the trail of the legendary Beast of Dartmoor.
Elaine is almost at breaking point with her husband's mad plans
until one day the handsome American Curt arrives the village,
and her life changes in dramatic style. Elaine is likeable from
the very first scene and the audience are on her side throughout
the film. She is petite, and speaks with an endearing light
Devonshire accent. This part would suit an up and coming actress
in the Southwest area. The role is unpaid but expenses will be
covered.
