Greeeeetings fellow freaks,

My name is Aernk (Frank) Watts and I am currently a film student at Bunker Hill Community College. Over the next several months I will be filming a 15-20 minute project involving a nymph, a colonist, and a metal-head. It focuses on their strange dynamics and crazy antics. The film is a comedy and should be alot of fun to make but still requires a few cast/crew members to make it work. If there are any actors or potential crew members out there, I would love to have you as part of my project. I can offer no compensation besides the fun of helping to make a movie but all are welcome to join me. Although a plus, no prior experience is necessary.

One of the characters for which we still require an actor is our narrator. He is a venerable gentlemen and the actor should be fairly aged or otherwise capable of acting wise beyond his years. A commanding voice is preferred. The narrator is a quirky individual who will periodically give commentary on the events of the film.

Also, though we have a promising lead, we may still need an actress for the part of the nymph. As one of the three main characters, her role is very important. We are looking for a playful actress who is not afraid to climb trees and perform other nymph-like tasks. Due to the comedic nature of the film, I am hoping for a nymph who is unusually tall or at least average height. Singing capabilities, though not necessary, are a plus.

The Nymph is a protector of her home--the mighty woods of Salem. In addition to her eternal duty, she works part time to keep the seasons running. Of the four, Autumn is her favorite but she keeps this a secret. Nymph will occasionally eavesdrop on any mortal who should wander through her keep. She's a very curious individual and will sometimes even walk amongst mortals. Those are rare encounters indeed. Nymph generally keeps to herself singing songs of hope in the trees high above.

In addition, I greatly require any help I can get from those proficient with makeup/hair (as well as other crew work). Though not a large production, we can use the help of anyone who is interested. Once again, filmmaking is hard work but I assure you it can also be a great deal of fun and I encourage anyone who is interested in participating to join us!

Please ask any questions you may have about this endeavor and I will gladly do my best to answer them. If you or anyone you know may be interested in becoming part of this, please just let me know! Looking forward to hearing from all of you!
