The casting call for my upcoming gay silent brickfilm The Hazards of Henry has ended. I thank all those who auditioned and wish you dudes, and ladies, the best of luck in future calls. Please feel free to stay updated on the film's progress via my WORK IN PROGRESS website: http://www.collegebricks.weebly.com/

Just remember folks, things out there in Hollywood are not so darn serene. All the stars are in a panic. Here's the reason why: Everyone must talk out loud or kiss the town goodbye!

This is an official casting call for my upcoming gay silent brickfilm The Hazards of Henry. Now, wait a minute!   Why do I need voices for a silent movie? Well...it's only for the last scene. Please read more about the plot in the Scene Setting section below. The voices required is one male voice.

Scene Setting
A street café in Hollywood in late 1927. Henry and Sammy are coming in to meet Alessandra and Mitsy for lunch. The scene is casual, yet high class. Mitsy still hasn’t switched over to talking and still uses title cards to speak. This scene is meant to bring a closing to the film by filling up any unnecessary plot holes and to give the audience one last laugh at the time period of Hollywood’s silent years before the transition of silent to talkies. This scene is estimated to be between one and two minutes long when completely animated.

Anywho, here are the roles:
Sammy Waverly
Bio: Camera Boy at Empire Studios
Age: 18-21
Vocal Description: Normal, Not Deep, Optimistic Tone
# of Lines: 4-5
Test Line: "Henry, You can’t be too prideful. Nobody said moving pictures or the light bulb would catch on either.”

Henry Holmes
Bio: Silent Movie Star at Empire Studios
Age: 18-21
Vocal Description: Normal, Mature, Fairly Deep
# of Lines: 6-7
Test Line: “Allie, who says I’m dead-in-the-water? It just so happens that Empire is in the works on a talkie for next year. DeMille here gets to direct it!”

Alessandra "Allie" Ambrose
Bio: Sammy's Cousin/Apartment Buddy/cigarette Hag/Flapper
Age: 27
Vocal Description: Normal, Somewhat Sassy
# of Lines: 5
Test Line: “I can’t take it anymore. You’re giving me the heebie-jeebies!”

Mitsy Berlin
Bio: Secretary at Empire Studios/Flapper
Age: 20-25
Vocal Description: Ditsy, Idiotic, Over-ecstatic, Blonde
# of Lines: 1
Test Line: "Hey! It worked!"

There. It's a small array of voices, but I hope it's convincing. By the way, the title is a play on The Hazards of Helen, which was a turn of the century film serial about a Helen Holmes getting into dangerous situations, such as being tied to railroad tracks. That should give you a hint about the cuteness of this work-in-progress. If you are interested in voice acting for one or more parts, please email me at [email protected]. PS: When this movie is finally done, I plan on entering it into legit film festivals. I already have one brickfilm entered into the Ann Arbor Film Festival and Omaha Film Festival. I look forward to your auditions.
