AB Media Publishing, LLC

Vitamin A Films and Cinemarket Films are holding an open casting call for featured and general background extras in Geaorgia who are interested in working on their Indie film "When the Bough Breaks". The film will shoot in and around the Savannah, GA area beginning December 5, 2011.

Serbian filmmaker Peter Antonejevic will direct "When the Bough Breaks" from a screenplay written by Nissar Modi. Antonejevic recently directed the film "Little Murder" starring Josh Lucas and Terrence Howard - his first directing gig since the 2002 film "Run for the Money" starring Christian Slater and Val Kilmer. His only other english speaking directorial credit is the 1998 film "Savior" starring Dennis Quaid, Nastassia Kinski, and Stellan Skarsgard.

Warren Ostergard and Paul Conway will produce under the banner of Vitamin A Films, Peter D. Graves will produce for Cinemarket Films. Graves has served as executive producer on such hit films as "Tomorrow, When the War Began," "Terminator Salvation," "Planet 51," "Killer Elite," and the upcoming "Mine Games".

"When the Bough Breaks" will shoot at Meddin Studios, which last year opened a 22,000-square-foot digital studio on Louisville Road. In the last 18 months, Meddin has produced seven films and is looking to quadruple its production facilities. State tax incentives up to 30 percent for film companies that shoot in Georgia in recent years have brought in an almost constant flow of production work, and have helped grow Savannah’s available crew and production staff. A locally based studio further fuels that growth.

Story:

This drama series is inspired by the classic Grimm's Fairy Tales. Remember the fairy tales your parents used to tell you before bedtime? Those weren’t stories, they were warnings. Nick Burkhardt (David Guintoli) thought he prepared himself for the realities of working as a homicide detective until he started seeing things he couldn’t quite explain. When his ailing Aunt Marie (Kate Burton) arrives, Nick's life turns upside down when she reveals they are descendants of an elite group of hunters, also known as “Grimms,” who fight to keep the balance of humanity safe from the supernatural creatures of the world. As Nick digs deeper into her past, he realizes that he will have to shoulder the responsibility of his ancestors, and contend with a larger-than-life mythology of the Brothers Grimm that is now all too real. As a Grimm, he sees things that other people can't, including evil creatures straight out of the darkest fairy tale. And as a Grimm, Nick must battle the forces of evil - even at grave and ever-present risk to his own life.

Story:

A romantic comedy set in the world of competitive collegiate a cappella groups. Fiercely competitive UMass undergraduate a capella groups Divisi (all girls) and Treblemakers (all boys) practice and perform throughout the year in the quest for the a capella nirvana: winning the "International Championship of Collegiate A Capella" (ICCA) that's held each spring at Carnegie Hall. With Divisi undergoing some intense interpersonal strife - most of their members have graduated, singer Chloe (Brittany Snow) has vocal chord nodes and their leader Aubrey (Anna Camp) insists on keeping the group in its same old groove - the stakes are high, particularly with the inclusion of freshman-with-a-bad-attitude, Beca Mitchell (Anna Kendrick), whose good ideas are routinely shot down by Aubrey. Beca's also trying hard not to fall in love with fellow freshman Jesse (Adam DeDine), a nice guy and a new member of the Trebles - whose guys are, according to the age-old Divisi tradition, off-limits to the Divisi girls.
