Feature Film "Blackbeard" Casting Call for actors in Des Moines, IA regional area
*** This project has been cancelled ***
Gigapix Studios and Recess Film Productions LLC., are casting actors in the Des Moines, Iowa regional area to appear in the SAG feature film "Blackbeard". Principal Photography begins Sept 9, 2009.
The following principal actor roles will be cast from the Iowa regional acting pool:
Co-worker at travel agency: female, Caucasian, 40-55 years old. Full of personality, perky, overly ebullient, she enjoys her job waaaaay too much.
Small child: 4-7 yrs, to play as young as possible, boy or girl. Sparkly, adventurous.
Jesse: 10-13 yrs, boy, Caucasian. A vertically challenged class clown, but definitely not on the A-list in school. One of Cole’s friends who have bonded as fellow geeks.
Martin: 10-13 yrs, boy, Caucasian. A quivering mass of insecurity under floppy hair. Just showing up to school each day is probably a struggle for him. But he at least has his fellow geeks.
Scott: 10-13 yrs, Caucasian. The handsome and confident alpha-pup of the school. He can talk to girls. The girls adore him, and so let’s just say; Cole, Jesse & Martin - do not.
Classroom teacher: Male or female, any ethnicity. 30-50 yrs. Need an actor who creates a character, just by being him or herself. Is a person of authority, not someone the students would walk all over.
I-pod girl: 11-14 yrs, Caucasian. In the same class with Cole, Jesse, Martin & Scott, yet she has a maturity beyond the boys. She’s the unapproachable one to anyone but Scott. Dry humor, aware of what goes on around her. She isn’t intimidated by authority, especially not the school principal.
Production Company:
Do NOT send photos and resumes to the production companies (they will most likely end up in the trash can), they do not cast the films. They hire casting directors who sort through the thousands of submissions.

Audition for the Chance to Star in a Clark Pest Control Commercial
CLARK NEEDS YOU!
Ever dream of seeing your face on the small screen? Now is your chance! Clark Pest Control is holding open auditions for the chance to star in an upcoming television commercial during the California Mid-State Fair. Participants will each create their own commercial in front of a green screen that will later appear as a backdrop of a residential home. Props will be provided, but contestants can use their own creativity to ad-lib a 30-second spot ending with the widely recognized "Clark We Need You!" call for help.
The contest to star in a Clark Pest Control commercial will take place during the California Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles. Auditions will be held at the Clark Pest Control booth (inside The Market Place building) from Noon until 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 25 through Monday, July 27.
After July 27th, judges will select one finalist from the Mid-State Fair auditions. More auditions are being held in Reno and Lodi later in the summer, and a finalist will be selected from each of those auditions as well. Once all of the auditions are completed in late September, judges will review the three finalists' auditions and select the grand-prize winner, who will star in one of next season's new commercials.
Clark Pest Control has historically used humor in its commercials to convey the many problems its customers are encountering and the services they provide to counteract those issues. Before auditioning, contestants are encouraged to check out past television commercials at http://www.clarkpest.com. All of the auditions taped during the Mid-State Fair will be featured on the Clark Pest Control website beginning August 3rd.
