Casting MEGAN'S WAR
This summer I'm directing a comedy called KILLER RACK, written by Paul McGinnis. On Saturday, April 26th, from 1 pm - 4 pm, John Renna and Chris Rados are holding auditions for their upcoming feature at the Pierce Arrow Film Arts Center, on the second floor of 1685 Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo. McGinnis will be there auditioning people for KILLER RACK too. In general, I don't like holding auditions; I prefer to simply cast talented people I know to be reliable, and who take projects seriously. But I'll be at these auditions too - not for KILLER RACK, but for the film I'll be directing next summer, an action flick tentatively entitled MEGAN'S WAR. I'm not auditioning for "Megan" at these auditions, but I will be keeping an eye open for an actress who fits the bill. There is, unfortunately, no real database for actors in Buffalo, just a few different actor/extra Facebook pages. I prefer to cast a local actress for this lead, title role, which is why I'm starting this process early; if I have to bring in an out of town actress because the local casting process is too difficult, I will.
MEGAN'S WAR is an action film in the BILLY JACK / DELIVERANCE vein about four people from Buffalo who go on a weekend camping trip and find themselves hunted by extremist police and paramilitary types - there is a controversial aspect to the story. It will probably shoot over weekends next summer, but it could shoot over a straight one month period. "Megan" is the lead role, and is the one which I currently know will be a paying gig. I'm looking for a Caucasian actress, 25 - 28; attractive, physically fit, athletic and with the chops to deliver a serious dramatic performance. No frontal nudity is required; however. bareback nudity is required for a scene in which Megan purifies herself in a lake near the end of the film. I expect there to be an aggressive marketing campaign for this film, and I'm looking for someone reliable who is interested in being a partner for this project: there will likely be opportunities to attend film festivals where the film screens, and the part requires a long time commitment for publicity. There will be many other roles in this film, most of them unpaid; I have zero interest in discussing them until after I've cast this pivotal role, as I need to build the cast around the lead.
This is a seriously good role for the right person. Interested actresses can send me their head shots and resumes, either to my Facebook page:

...or to my old email account: glamberson@verizon.net
Or I'll see you at the John Renna/Chris Rados/Paul McGinnis auditions this Saturday.
At this time, I don't wish to receive inquiries about other roles or crew positions, or head shots from out of town actresses for this lead role. One step at a time.
