INTEGRAL ARTS WEB SERIES CASTING (non-union)
Integral Arts is casting lead roles for its next web series. It previously produced a full season of the web series, Buddy Jackson (http://www.buddyjackson.com/), which screened at the 2008 Independent Television Festival in LA. Its action comedy pilot, Codeword Secret (http://www.codewordsecret.com/) screened at the 2007 New York Television Festival, where it earned us a mentorship from Phil Rosenthal, creator of Everybody Loves Raymond. Recently, Integral Arts created a pilot, Saving Corporate America, for FOX Television Studios that screened at the 2008 New York Television Festival.

We will respond in with a timeslot and sides for the audition.
Sorry, but we are not working under a SAG or AFTRA contract.
We will produce 20 episodes, shot over 5 weekends, roughly one weekend per month. Shooting will begin in January or February. The shoots will typically take all day, both days for the lead characters.
We are producing this show with a shared-equity model, so no one will involved with the show will be paid up front but everyone will share in owning a piece of the show with us (not just deferred payment). Chances are that it will not equate to money down the road, but if we are able to sell the show, or generate money through advertising, merchandising or DVDs we will share those profits.
THE SHOW:
This series is going to be a comedy that falls somewhere between a comedy version of “24”, a scripted action-comedy version of the “Colbert Report” and an anti-terror version of “Reno 911.” We like to play absurd things pretty straight-faced and milk the comedy from them. Believability and comedic timing/interpretation are equally important in all roles.
The roles:
Tucker (25-35 Male or Female, any ethnicity, native English speaker)
Tucker is a trained killer/commando who works for an elite DC anti-terror force. When not killing people who obviously deserve it, Tucker is a pretty nice and generous person with no chip on his/her shoulder. Tucker has no mixed feelings about killing people, but some pretty strong mixed feelings about the impact it has on what used to be his/her family. Tucker wants his/her estranged spouse back, his/her dead buddies back, and his/her simple life back, and is going to destroy the fuckers that took them away, or die trying. (Please don’t read for this unless you are pretty certain you can convince us that you killed someone on the way to the audition.) (And please don’t read for this if you actually did.)
Chris (23-25 Male or Female, any ethnicity, native English speaker)
Chris is a new political appointee from the Obama White House to the elite anti-terror force. Chris is fairly certain that every aspect of the war on terror has been waged incorrectly and ready to change it all. Chris reads a lot of books, delivers a lot of papers, can quote muzzle speed and firing rates for every weapon in the US inventory, but is not always certain which end of the gun the bullets come out of. Chris is afraid of crowds, loud noises, and just about everything.
Jacques Valjean (25-35 Male)
Jacques is the French INTERPOL representative at our elite anti-terror force. Jacques is a parody of all American views of the French/Europeans. He constantly flirts, while sipping espresso and expressing his general superiority. This is a character to play a lot with and we are equally likely to like Jacques played convincingly as we are to have him played like Pepe Le Pew on drugs. On some days, when it suits him (and us) he might actually seem more German, Spanish or Italian than French. (while we lean towards French on this, if you have another accent that is much better than your French we’re open to it and may change the character).
