WRESTLERS
We’re looking for interesting people to play wrestlers (or people pretending to be lol) These will all be small, but memorable bit parts in the film. There are no character breakdowns for these roles. We’re looking for actors with lots of charisma and energy. To audition simply video tape yourself cutting a professional wrestling promo to the camera, as if you were a professional wrestler (Think WWE, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Ric Flair.) You can say whatever you want. A background in improvisation is GREAT! Go nuts, have fun with it! Here is some backstory in order to create your promo:
STORY: You are a wrestler in the MPWA, “Mosh Pit Wrestling Association.” You have an upcoming match with, “Toad Frog” Jimmy Wayne and you’re cutting a promo, trash talking them for your upcoming match.
Your promo should be anywhere from :30 up to 2 minutes long. Frame your video from waist up. You are free to wear costumes, or literally whatever you want to do. We want to see interesting characters. If you have some sort of wrestling persona you’ve been hiding in your closet, this is your chance to bring it out. If we see some really interesting options we may bump them to bigger roles. As of now, most of these will only work one day but will be super fun. The funnier and more ridiculous, the better! There is no age, sex or ethnicity requirements for this. We are looking for men, women, and even kids can submit! No wrestling ability or experience needed.
Email your video to: markmoviecasting@gmail.com SUBJECT: WRESTLING PROMO. Include in the body of the email your name and contact information. If you are an actor, please also include your headshot/resume. No acting experience is required to submit for these roles. Please use a file transfer service such as: wetransfer, dropbox or google drive to submit your video to us. DO NOT SEND US PUBLIC YOUTUBE LINKS. In fact, DO NOT PUT THEM ON YOUTUBE AT ALL. If we see any of these auditions on Youtube, you will be automatically disqualified from appearing in the film. If you have any questions, please direct them to the email listed above!
