Hey, thanks again for your interest despite our lack of a budget, and even
more thanks for your patience.
I'll note ahead of time that we still don't want to know the design of your
character. This project is kind of a mockumentary. Things about it are
fake, but the cast's reactions to your improvisation are real.
And while we definitely want comedy, keep in mind that there's a
socio-political undertone to it.
i.e., gas prices rising, etc.
_____________________________________
The driving route:
Atlanta to Montgomery to Mobile to New Orleans to Baton Rouge to Houston to
SAntonio to El Paso to Tucson to Phoenix to L.A.
and
L.A. to Las Vegas (if time permits) to Albuquerque to Amarillo to OKC to
Little Rock to Memphis to Birmingham to Atlanta
_____________________________________
Additional scripted extras:
-[ATL] Ondray's Boss (has dialogue)
-[ATL] People in a restaurant (one girl has a line) -Cell phone girl (in
L.A.) -Guy pals of the Photographer's cousin (in L.A.) -the photographer's
dad, a former porn star who's most famous character was Vladimir Donkova
"The Red Rhino." He's now living somewhere in the Southwest. (he doesn't
ride, we'll visit him) _____________________________________
That said, I have audition info for you:
Include the usual: Name, address, phone#
Answer these questions:
1) Do you plan to play a scripted part or a rider?
2) If you're a rider, what are your pick-up and drop-off points? (stick to
places along the hwy)

Subject: Indie Flick info (send pics/resumes if you like it)
Thank you for all of your interest! The response is wonderful.
First things first: Just so that we are all on the same page, this is a
non-union, non-paying gig.
This flick is ultra indie, guerilla style. ONE TAKE.
Think Taxicab Confessions meets Reservoir Dogs & Half Baked on a Road Trip.
Tentatively, we're looking to start in
September/October.
___________________________________
The story:
A lady corporate drone needs R&R.
Her confidant, the philosophical cafeteria dude downstairs has never been
west of Birgmingham.
Her photo snapping friend from the in-town cafe is road tripping to L.A.
soon to visit his cousin.
The problem: he's having the damdest time trying to find money for gas. So
they all decide to ride together, plus post ride space for rent on the
internet to offset costs.
When they hit the road, they're just picking up people who responded to the
post, plus a few "hitchikers." When the cast says, "So, what's taking you
west?" All kinds of hell breaks loose.
___________________________________
Fixed Roles:
Ondray, the burned out corporate drone (filled) Walt, the philosophical
cafeteria dude (filled) Mike, the L.A. bound photographer (filled)
___________________________________
A few defined bit parts:
1) The Ultra-Smart Beatnic, Level 1
He sounds like that guy in the closet from the 80s movie "Real Genius," but
THIS guy is on the run from the Feds for appearing on two game shows in the
same year (yes that's a real crime).
Line: "There's no database for it, so I just died my hair and told 'em a
different name. I don't care. I'm flying to France so they can't touch me."
2) The Really Kinky Old Chick (a woman doing Dave Chappelle's Rick James)
who likes young guys.
Level 2
3) The Ethnocentric Asian Guy (think Black Power from an Asian perspective)
who is going to Hollywood to give the execs a piece of his mind about
casting Asians stereotypically.
He picks up in Texas or Arizona.
___________________________________
Improv Roles-- 2 levels
1) not really going all the way to L.A. (or Atlanta on the return end), but
will ride for a while
2) only there for a couple of exits
For most of the extra characters, we're giving the actors free reign. If
you're a rider pissed about politics, get in and start ranting.
If you can be "Jack Nicholson bumming a ride,"
that's cool.
Don't TRY to be funny though; be natural.
Quirky is better than rattling off a stand-up routine.
Develop who you want to be--even if you're just being you, but DON'T TELL US
what you're going to do.
Just let us react.
___________________________________
RULES
1) Don't tell us what your character is
2) DO tell us your pick-up and drop-off points
3) When we pick you up, don't tell your ride to go home. Have them follow
because we're not taking anyone home.
4) DO NOT do anything that is or can be construed as illegal
ex: rob a gas station right before we pick you up
5) DO NOT pretend to put us in harm's way
ex: pretend to rob us (without prior warning)
I hope this pretty much does it for everyone. If you have any more
questions, e me

Dear TTA List Members,
This post is a little off topic, not that I have anything against shameless
self-promotion. I'm not really an American Idol fan for that matter. I
like to limit list announcements to items that are of value to most people
on the list, such as auditions, casting calls, crew calls, classes and
openings. However, today I have a soft spot for a young Tucsonan seaking
the spotlight. Please do not take this as a greenlight to flood me with
self-promotion announcments.
Thank you,
Bill
TTA List Administrator

P.S. Today I am launching a new addition to the service - Pod Casting. The
inaurgual eposode can be found on the home page of the TTA List,

P.P.S. Break-a-leg, Torah

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TUCSON TEEN COUNTS ON LOCAL SUPPORT AS SHE HEADS TO AMERICAN IDOL-SEASON 5
August 1, 2005-Tucson, Arizona Tucson teen, TORAH, heads off to San
Francisco in August to audition for the popular Fox show, American Idol.
You've probably seen her perform the National Anthem at various sporting
venues around town. You may have seen her at a fair or festival performing
as Pammy K with her group Wild Angel or singing and dancing with Kids
Unlimited, Protege or Belle Milage. Even if you haven't heard of her YET,
you can count on hearing about her soon. Torah fans are organizing a
gathering at the audition, complete with signs, banners and t-shirts to make
sure their 2005 TUCSON IDOL (not affiliated with Fox)gets through the first
round of competition. TorahNATORS, as they are called, plan to enlist
support for Torah and see that she domiNATES the competition.
The TorahNATORS are counting on help from Tucson locals to come support
Torah. They have put out a call to arms for fans to show up at 6:00 AM on
August 18th at Cow Palace in San Francisco to cheer on their girl. Fan
coordinators will be on scene to ensure fans do not interfere with the
audition process or get hung up in lines. Torah signs and t-shirt transfers
are available for download from her website http://torah-idol.com . A small
quantity may be available at the audition.
Can't make it to San Francisco? Visit Torah's website and show your support
by signing the guest book or forum and remember to tune in to Fox in January
of 2006 and hopefully see your own TUCSON IDOL, Torah, take the stage.
For more information about Torah or the TorahNATORS, visit the website at
http://www.torah-idol.com
