Actors Wanted for 'God Country' Horror Film (Nashville)

Vacancy expired!

After making significant progress in pre production, the God Country team is ready to begin the grueling process of casting. Before we get into the roles themselves, I'd like to provide a more wholistic overview of what we're looking for.

Jacob Hopkins (Modern Horrors cofounder), Jake Parker (God Country writer/director), and myself are searching for passionate cast and crew members that understand and embrace the process of independent filmmaking. We've spent the last 4 years dissecting nearly every major genre release and talking to the filmmakers behind them to learn the ins and outs of quality horror cinema. And while God Country is; in fact, a paying gig, I'm searching for team members that are willing to pour themselves into the project due to passion--not strictly compensation. People that are hungry to capitalize on being a part of a quality production that can serve as a calling card at any point in their career.

Almost all of the existing crew (myself included) have agreed to work for free in order to stretch every dollar that much further. God Country is not a Hollywood production; nor are we attempting to mimic the atmosphere and environment of one. The shoot will be roughly 3 weeks. In that time we will laugh, eat, scream, cry, and most importantly, learn more about who we are as filmmakers.

If interested in learning more about my personal outlook on shooting a successful independent genre film, I urge you to read a recent article by Black Mountain Side writer/director, Nick Szostakiwkyj (http://modernhorrors.com/if-you-want-to-make-real-movies-avoid-real-sets-the-insider/).

God Country is a graphic genre film with intense language, visuals, and situations with jaw-dropping cinematography and FX. A current draft of the script, along with a private teaser link, will be made available to serious applicants.

REQUIREMENTS/ROLE(S)

[Ben] LEAD Protagonist Male, Caucasian, 28-35 Years Old. Average build with moderate facial hair.

A handsome, yet damaged, young man that left the small town of White Hope after years of trauma and abuse. Ben now lives with his boyfriend, Sam, in a city far away as a stock trader. Bens life is quiet now... until a phone call from White Hope changes everything.

[Sam] LEAD Male, Caucasian, 28-35 Years Old. Slender or Athletic build.

A proud and humorous loudmouth that copes with adversity through witty one-liners and sarcasm. Sam is motivated by financial success and currently works as a real estate agent.

[Barbara] LEAD Antagonist Female, Caucasian, 45-60 Years Old.

A religious fanatic and aunt of protagonist, Ben. She is the epitome of someone that uses their religious beliefs to cause harm and disaster. Barbara possesses a crazed, yet motherly air of entitlement that resides at the very heart of the film.

I look forward to hearing from you. If you do not fit the above requirements but possess other talents that you feel may benefit the production such as sound recordists, SFX artists, production designers, etc--please feel free to reach out as well. Let's make the next great American horror film.
