We're hosting a special Industry Lab designed to demystify the casting process from a producer’s perspective with casting director, Emily Cook! We’ll kick things off with a candid conversation about what goes into casting the right talent—from audition prep to final decisions. Then, we’ll move into live mock auditions, where actors will perform scenes in front of an audience. Attendees will observe from the "producers' table," gaining insight into the audition room dynamics and what really stands out. After the auditions, we’ll open the floor for discussion, allowing attendees to share thoughts and ask questions. 

ACTORS: Please read through the breakdown below. If you think you fit the description please submit your info via the form below to be considered. Note, space is extremely limited so not all actors will be chosen to perform, but we encourage everyone to attend as they’ll be able to sit in on the “producer’s table” to watch the auditions/participate in a discussion afterwards.

[JOHN KELLY] Male, 39, Caucasian. Tall and slim, he's a rural truck driver, a "good ol' boy" defined by his hard work. He learns his teenage son, whom he threw out for being gay, might have been the victim of a serial killer. Guilt-ridden, he goes to Hollywood to search for his son, not knowing if the boy is dead or alive, and ends up relying on the gays he thought he was supposed to hate.
