Expires 5/12/12

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
*All actors MUST be comfortable with improv and local to Montgomery County, PA; familiarity
with/love of comic book characters a plus.
OFFICER BERTRAND – Male, age 21-35: New to the force, friendly but knows when to lay down the
law. Eager to make a name for himself, but has a lot to learn. Takes his job seriously.
THE VENTRIOLOQUIST – Male, age 50-65: Shy, older gentleman with split personality disorder.
Dominant personality is portrayed through a ventriloquist dummy, 1920s mobster. Actor must be
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
after he leaves the set” – grouchy, unkempt, never wears a shirt, etc. Has the appearance of
constantly being irritated.
HARLEY QUINN – Female, age 20-30: Love-sick psychiatrist with serious anger issues. On again/off
again girlfriend of Joker. Eager to please him, easily angered by him, and even quicker to forgive
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,
MAY 12. Please email GCPD454@gmail.com with the role you wish to audition for in the subject
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.
