Switched @ Birth Productions™
Will be shooting an original comedic short titled: Hacky Slacker. Written by Shaun Vetick and Co-written by Tory Nixon.

Auditions will be held at the Nebraska Film Group
Saturday June 28th from 11AM till 1PM
NFG members can start at 10AM.

Production will begin July 26th.

We are looking for 4 to 6 actors.

2 Males
2 Females
2 Dogs

Male roles: mid 20s to mid 30s or looks like the age range; unkempt (one more than the other. Perhaps not the healthiest fellows) For inspiration think of “Shaun of the Dead”s’ two main characters, or even Shaggy from Scooby Doo. For those of us who are “dated” perhaps Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Bender from The Breakfast Club.

Female roles: mid 20s

Dogs: 2 cute little bitches.
