Be aware that this a low budget film and thus most roles will be for credit and experience only. We will at a bare minimum to offer lead roles reimbursement for travel expenses. Out of State actors are discouraged from attending as the project may require several rehearsals and shoots and we are not in a position to cover such costs and because we prefer local actors who can meet upon short notice.
Note that if you can’t make Saturday’s audition that we will likely be holding another audition later in the week or the following weekend.
Please at email us at ironshadowcinema@gmail.com along with resume and headshot to let us know that you intend to audition and we’ll send back confirmation as well as directions to get there.
