Vigilante Media, an indie production company located in the suburbs of Philadelphia, is seeking
CAST AND CREW to launch a new comedic webseries.

CHARACTERS NEEDED

able to create two distinct characters with voice. Experience with ventriloquist dummy would be
ideal, but not a necessity.
JOKER – Male, age 25-35: Most definitely not the Joker we’ve seen in all the movies. Think “Joker

constantly being irritated.

him.
EXTRAS Males, age 21-35: Cops providing backup on scene, Old woman, age 60-75: Scared of what
this city has become, doesn’t let anyone into her home.
CREW NEEDED
This webseries will be a one camera production, so our crew will be small. Currently we are looking
for the following crew members:
Sound (mixer and boom operator)
Hair/MUA
Costume Designer
Production Assistant(s)

DETAILS
We are a group of filmmakers and like-minded business people looking for a creative outlet. Our
goal is to gain visibility with this project and ultimately have a good time. At this time, all cast and
crew are on a volunteer basis. If the series is a success, we have plans to monetize the content
through ad partners and merchandise, allowing us to pay everyone. Casting will be held SATURDAY,

line. Please include a headshot and your experience. We will contact you with an audition time for
that day. Please have a comedic monologue prepared to perform.
