Hi, All:

I'm helping a producer do a commercial here in the Valley this Saturday. I'm in charge of matching possible actors to locations. If you are free on Saturday and think you could fit what they are looking for or if you know of someone who would be perfect for the job, please let me know know as soon as possible. Below is what they're looking for and the pay is $100-$150 for a few hours work. Actors have to be able to drive to the location (yet to be chosen but somewhere in the Valley) and be available on Saturday. Oh and if you have an ideas for locations or characters, let me know!

Thanks,

-Dalel

Currently, I am in pre-production for my next film "World War School." The script is almost complete, [you know how they say "the script is never really finished"] and the next stage is casting my film. I have listened to your show and visited your website, and I understand that your goal is to promote local films in the Coastal Bend. That being said, then could you please post this on your website. It is a notice detailing the time, date, and actors needed for my film.

"WORLD WAR SCHOOL" is a comedy/ action film about what happens when the students of a school start rebelling against their over-domineering teachers. And what starts out as a small rebellion soon turns into a war between the two groups, with both not willing to back down or give up. Can the students outwit the teachers, or will the teachers prove themselves to be the dominant species in the school? The parents, meanwhile, are under the impression that this is the perfect school for their children.....

Well, that's it. Should be a blast filming it.
