The Divided States: Stories from the Second American Civil War
MichaelNeeb for Michael Bianchi
Michael Bianchi is the love interest and antagonist of Emily Faulkner, one of the main characters. After being in a romantic relationship, with her, he is forced to hunt Emily down as he weighs his loyalty to the revolution against his love for Emily.
A triggerman and fiercely loyal to the Combined Syndicates, Micheal pursues Emily throughout the show as one of the main antagonists. He has an Italian American background, having grown up under the opression of the robber barons of the 1920's. Seeing such wealth inequality and growing up in total squalor, he became a convinced communist.
EMILY (do not read)
Jesus Michael… they’re rounding up people outside
MICHAEL
(dismissive) Must be an anarchist cell. They’ve been up in arms ever since Reed stepped down…
[Michael sighs and stretches]
Chairman Browder thinks they're planning something big. He's being proactive, clamping down on em'. They'll probably be sent to East Bank, poor bastards. Nobody comes back from East Bank...MICHAEL
(Angry) Oh, I'm sorry Sarah, should I have told her I was cheating on her before or after telling Emily we shot her goddamn parents?
(Sad) The Faulkner job was a mistake. If I had known beforehand, I would never have done it
SARAH
You sure as hell didn't hesitate to blow the Board of Trade Building
MICHAEL
(Blind anger, shouting) Don't be fucking naive Sarah. It was a black flag operation. We're the goddamn Bureau, it's what we do! You know just as well as I that we had to create a pretense to take out the anarchist faction before they took the entire goddamn Syndicate down with them!
Good day to all our shortlisted actors! I am currently setting up a second round audition where we will ask everyone to play a scene together with one of our main voice actors this friday. The second round audition will take place between 16-19 CET and take 15 minutes per audition. I am setting up a schedule so everyone knows what timeslot they are in, and the meeting will take place on google meet. To coordinate everything, can you guys send me an email at vincent (at) kaisercatcinema.com? It will be easier if I hear from everyone. Please include your contact information and a rate per finished minute of recording that you would like to be budgeted for. I will send everyone a more detailed brief over e-mail, but in the meantime you can always go through the project website (https://dividedstates-project.com/) to get a rough handle on what TDS is about Thank you all for participating! Looking forward to hearing you work! Regards, Vincent
on it!
