The Old Man
Project Overview
INTRODUCTION
Hello, everyone! This casting call is for a short film titled "The Old Man" that is being developed by Sniper Films! I am the executive producer and I also help with the casting.
The short film is about a young woman who accidentally hits an old homeless man on the side of the road while trying to avoid him. Knowing that she may get in trouble for this, she makes the foolish decision to dump his body in the middle of the woods. Unfortunately to her, the old man keeps showing up to haunt her.

DEADLINES AND AUDITIONS
The deadline for auditions is August 1st, 2021. There are currently no plans to extend this deadline, as the full script is ready to release to voice actors. The live filming is expected to wrap up on July 30th, 2021. All of the jobs in this casting call are for working at home.
WHAT WE ASK OF YOU
- Please submit clean recordings on prosumer mics (no air conditioners in the background, no fans -- too much clean-up reduces the quality of your voice). And speaking of clean-up -- please let us handle the post-production. Don't add effects to your lines.
- Feel free to cut your lines to your best/favorite takes. Three is the gold standard.
- We do occasionally ask for line re-dos, but we do this sparingly and only after great consideration - we realize your time is valuable, and we won't ask for anything we can't work around in edits.
- Please have a professional attitude. We are working on a schedule. We will only work with you if you will work with us.
- Please have experience if applying for editing or artistic type roles. We won't accept just anything. This is a semi-professional production company.
- A lot of our team reprise their cast/crew roles for new productions, though we will not require you to unless you want us to.

Latest Updates
-
Live Filming was finished up on the 30th as expected! We have all the clips ready to go! So far everything is running smoothly.
The leading lady is talking to someone on the phone named "Tina". In the script she is referred to as "PHONE GIRL".
Tina is never seen in person. She's just a voice. She's your average rambling nonsense girl on the phone.
(Rambling on)
You know I just can't stand that friend of yours. What was it... Lola? Oh she's a real bore! If I were you I would get out of that one fast! Oh by the way! How was your date with that guy last night! I heard you two had a real wild time!
(After the phone has been left)
Girl? Hello? Where are you? Where did you go?
(After being told to call her back)
Why? What happened?
This is the local garbage collector. He doesn't have a very big part but he finishes a gag near the end of the film. There is already someone playing the body of the Garbage Collector, but they aren't playing the voice of him for undisclosed reasons.
He is very tired of his life and apparently has delusions quite often. Finding disturbing things in garbage cans have become the norm, but it's none of his business.
(Talking to himself after hearing something or someone in the garbage can)(Very tired of his life)
Don't start getting delusional again. Just keep doing your job!
(Talking to himself after hearing something or someone in the garbage can)(Very tired of his life)
Don't start hearing noises again. Just get through the shift, and get paid.
If possible we would like more than one editor to take off the load off of others.
Please have experience in editing cinematic type videos. Films and such. Show us things you've made to see if you qualify. We will have segments that are chroma-keyed in a car. It needs to be convincing. Please have a professional editing software. We are going for the popular teal-orange look for our film. If you can apply that to all of the clips that would be wonderful. If possible we will have one person do that and other people do the actual editing.
Say something you think would fit
You are responsible for making the official poster(s). These will be used for publicity and for all official things. The pictures will be taken already. They will be sent to you to make what you think fits the theme. Please give a reference of things like this you have done before, and take inspiration from other official posters.
Say something you think would fit
You will be responsible for making a unique and original logo/title for "The Old Man". It needs to give off the mood that the film sets off. If you understand what I mean, we don't just want a typed out font because we could do that ourselves, we would like something unique.
Say something you think would fit
We need some horror music that will play quietly in the background during some scenes. We also need music to play during the credits. If you have experience in creating cinematic style music, that would be wonderful! Give us examples when you apply.
