The web series “The Daily Grinds” is still looking to cast a few more actors. Most of the series will be shot in the Birmingham palladium, which we are transforming into a coffee shop.
Plot:
This is a mockumentary style webisode based on life in a corporate coffee shop. The plot follows the employees of the coffee shop at work and peppers in entertaining anecdotes from their personal lives.
Available Roles:
Oliver: 23 yr old male. Slim build. Brown hair. 5’7-5’9. Visible tattoos OK. Hipster who wears skinny jeans and any designer clothes from the thrift store, so a trendy wardrobe is a must. It would be cool if you could play a strings instrument and have knowledge of a drum machine, or least good at faking it.
Derrick: 25-3r yr old hipster who is so happy and proud to be one. He isn’t in denial like most hipsters. He embraces it. Issues with his parents who nicknamed him after a car because they are from Detroit, not named after Chief Pontiac. Is into anything that is “different” and with his charm he is seen as being different and cool. He makes jokes all the time and has to explain them. Not because the jokes are so “high-minded” no one gets them, but because they are not funny and no one has the heart to tell him.
Compensation:
These are not paid roles. We will provide light refreshments and footage of your work.
