Feather-Light And Paper-Thin is a 6 x 20min web-based serial tracking a young Healthcare Assistant who is attached to a cantankerous, curmudgeonly blind man. This man is an enigma - a puppetmaster, of sorts - and she soon realises that her working for him is no accident. She is there because of the misdealing of her best friend's brother, and it is not long before herself, her friend and the brother are ensnared in a web of multi-national intrigue, from which the only possible rescue can come from the most unlikely source.
This is a nano-budget film, and will be unpaid. The first episode will be distributed freely. Subsequent episodes will be released on a pay-per-view model, probably at 99c, and any profit resulting, if there is any, will be shared between all cast and crew on a transparent and fair basis dependant on hours worked.
The shoots will be on successive weekends, and we will shoot the episodes in pairs. It is imperative that cast and crew are able to commit to the whole project - there may be a gap of some months between shooting episodes 1 &2, and shooting 5 & 6.
In the first instance, do get in touch; I'll send you the scripts of the first couple of episodes, and you can see whether it speaks to you or not.
In particular, I'm looking to fill the following roles:
Angela - late fifties - sister of Fenton Roth (the blind puppermaster) - early on, seems quite ditzy and naive
DI Claire Moretti - late 30s/early 40s - disarmingly pleasant and affable, inner strength and perceptiveness
DS Col Adams - early 30s - probably quite tall/big
Kirsten Berg - arch antagonist - late 30s - actually Norwegian, though no accent - elegant, strong, ruthless
However - if you're interested in the project but don't necessarily fit neatly into one of those roles, do get in touch. It would be great to hear from you, and nothing is set in stone yet.
