audition scripts!!

Ok so you if you want to be in the film in an acting part, take part in the online auditions!! Below are the character synopses. Please bear in mind that these aren't finalised, and may change as the script changes. Make sure you put your name, age, location, and the name of the character you want to audition for at the beginning of the video you make, and put the character's name at the beginning of your video's title. Then post it as a video response to the audition video.

Characters:

BEN……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
LOCATION: London, England
APPEARANCE: Kind of scrawny, geeky but not nerdy. Cute in a scruffy kind of way.
(scene to use to audition for this character)
DESCRIPTION: Ben lives most of his life online. His friends, his job, his hobbies, they're all internet-related. He only has one good friend in the real world, Maddie. He's a nice guy but he significantly lacks social skills once he unplugs. His only real goals in life are to wake up, eat breakfast, and spend the day either alone out in the city with his iPod or spend the day locked in his flat with his friends.


MADDIE……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
LOCATION: London, England
APPEARANCE: Girl next door, very cute and stylish
(scene)
DESCRIPTION: Maddie is artistic, intelligent, and often quotes song lyrics and literature. She is Ben's closest friend, but seems distant and exasperated with him most of the time. This is mainly because he lives his life away from what she sees as reality. She's outgoing, energetic, motivated and has loads of friends around London.


ETHAN……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
LOCATION: London, England
(use the scene for BEN)
Boyfriend of MADDIE. Tension between him and BEN. Kind of an asshole. The bolshy one in zombie movies who is kind of looking out for himself at the expense of anyone else. Probably works in middle management :P


ERIC……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
(scene)
LOCATION: New York City, America
Best friends with BEN- albeit online. ERIC is seriously internet savvy. He's got a profile on EVERY networking site, edits wikipedia, is level 80 on WoW, etc etc. He is the go-to geek about anything and everything remotely web-based. He lives alone in New York.


ANGELA……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
LOCATION: America
(use the scene for MADDIE)
Believes anything the government tell her. Watches FOX news. Doesn't believe in the zombies (til it's too late! :O)

GUS……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
LOCATION: Germany
(use the scene for BEN or ERIC)

MAX……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
LOCATION: Australia
(use the scene for BEN or ERIC)

Ontop of this there are loads of other characters, but these are the main scripted ones so far. There will be lots of opportunities to be in the movie even if not as one of these characters.
