Call Backs

Actresses that were selected for call backs were notified today. We have not scheduled a 2nd audition due to the fact that we are waiting on some of the actors (their agents) that we have contacted and offered roles to. That way a read can be done with their actual counter-parts and we will get a better idea of who well have the chemistry we are looking for.

AUDITIONS, Round 2

We have a little over twenty actors coming in to read for some of the main roles. With this set and some call backs from the last audition, I think we should have some great actors cast!

Special Effects Artist Hired!

I met with GREG McDOUGALL and hired him as our Special Effects Supervisor for NECROSIS.

A brief Bio on Greg:

Greg McDougall started his makeup and effects career on the east coast in the mid 90's, lending his skills to theatrical shows and live presentations such as The Cleveland Opera and the Six Flags Batman Stunt Show. In 1998, Greg also acquired his first feature film credit as Production Designer and Key Effects Artist for the independent sci-fi film, Clone.

After a two-year stint as a makeup instructor at Tom Savini’s School of Makeup Effects in Pennsylvania, Greg moved out to Los Angeles in 2003. Since relocating, Greg has worked on a number of big budget studio films such as
War of the Worlds, The Chronicles of Narnia, Doom, and Disney’s Eight Below.

In 2005, Greg formed Cerberus Creations with partner, Cari Finken. For the fledgling company’s first official assignment, Greg and his highly skilled team of artists tackled the ambitious effects for
Creepshow 3. Recently, Greg has been busy creating a slew of creatures and makeup effects for the upcoming independent films, Spike and The Blackout.

In his spare time, Greg teaches makeup classes and enjoys writing scripts and developing projects for his company.

Lunch with an actor

We had lunch with an actor today for the role of Jerry. We are very excited that we may get to work with a very talented actor from "Heroes." We won't disclose his name at this time. He has done several Indie films and would be great to have on board. Even with the limitations of our budget, he expressed excitement in the project and his portraying JERRY, the character with the most range and challenges for an actor.

Hopefully we get a positive response from agents/managers and are eventually able to post who we are casting as JERRY in NECROSIS.
