SUBMISSIONS
As usual.Good mikework is a must. The less noise the better. Should you get accepted, I’ll need an .mp3 format, though I’m also willing to take .wav format as well. Just remember that if I can’t play the file, I can’t give you a part.
Also f you’re going to act in this, assume that you’re going to swear. Because sometimes my videos can jump from PG to a hard R-rating at the drop of a hat.
Submissions are due on August 30th, 2018. I wish you all the best and look forward to hearing your submissions.
When you are logged in, you can comment, add submissions, create projects, upvote, search open roles, and way more. Login here.
