A minute past infinity (indie animated series)
Project Overview
Hello hello!
This casting call is for A Minute Past Infinity! A silly idea that turned into a full on project thought up by Abby lynn.
“A Minute Past Infinity” is an indie animated mystery pilot/show about this woman named Callyan. It is set in the early 2000s in a small town in Arizona, She works for a company named Sovereign time, a watch brand that blew up across the U.S. after supposedly causing death to the owner. Callyn and her coworkers are trying to bring business back up after that incident. A few years after this a traveling carnival came to town, known for the bright masks, and eccentric performances.
We’re excited to hear auditions and see your applications ! Feel free to ask questions we don’t bite! (probably)
