SHOOTING INFORMATION
The shoot will take place in Los Angeles on November 19, 20 and 21. The shooting schedule will become more specific for each character by October 15th but really, if your availability is too limited, don't just try to fit it in. Actors need some flexibility.
The film will be shot by the crew of a major network television show and the producer of this short film works for a major studio. The film will be shot using the Sony F-35 Camera which is a super-high level state of the art HD camera and there will be a full crew using excellent technical equipment. There will be makeup and costume people to help actors prepare their look for the film and craft services will be provided.
There is no pay, no travel expenses or accommodations (other than someone's couch). Your benefit in doing this film will come only if you like the writing and if you want to be part of an excellent completed film that will most likely have a good life in festivals due to the prestige of the crew and what will be a really excellent final product.
If you have any questions, please contact me by email at faustwriter@gmail.com
Casting must be swift and there will probably not be time to contact everyone who applies. Please accept my apologies in advance if I'm unable to get back to you but there is only time to see a limited number of actors.
Thanks for your interest.

ADDITIONAL DIALOGUE FOR ANDREA AND BILL
Most
ot the scenes involving these two characters take place in fragmented
flashbacks. Full scenes (some written and possibly some improvs) will be shot
and then sliced and diced for the final effect. Below are two scenes that will
definitely be shot in full and possibly used in their totality.
BILL
SCENE
BILL
Look,
I don’t know what to say to you. I’m sorry. I know you’ve been hurt before and
this was really wrong but…
JANE
You
know that I’ve been hurt before. You know. You know.
You
don’t know. You don’t know anything. I trusted you. I gave you – Forget it. Why
talk about it? There’s just nothing else to – Forget it.
BILL
Wait
a minute. You can’t just turn it off like that. I know I made a mistake but –
JANE
A
mistake? You fucked my friend in my house on my bed and you say “mistake:.
BILL
Damn
it. I’m trying to talk to you. I’m sorry. I know you have every right to be
pissed at me, but – it was just because she was walking around naked and trying
to --- I know it was stupid and there’s no excuse, but please baby, you gotta
give me another chance. I love you. I really love you. I promise I’ll make it
work. Just give me one more chance.
ANDREA
SCENE
ANDREA
You
know, I really think you should get out more. It’s been two years since your
divorce. I know it was a disaster but come on…
JANE
Look,
I appreciate what you’re trying to do, but…
ANDREA
What,
but:? You have to take a chance again sometime.
JANE
Easy
for you to say.
ANDREA
Look,
I know I’m just a guest in your house and I don’t want to make myself
unwelcome, but I really think it would be good for you to get out into the
world and try to meet somebody. There’s no way you’re going to make your life
better by watching the same old movie over and over again.
JANE
That
“old movie” has helped me get through a lot of crap. It’s really been –
Jane
notices that Andrea is giving her a look as if to say “That’s really sad” and
she stops her rant.
JANE
OK.
OK. I’ll get out.
ANGEL MADNESS SYNOPSIS
"The Angel Madness" centers on Jane, a loner enthralled by old films, particularly the wild, tragic life of one iconic actress. Her days of endless movie-watching paused when she fell for Bill, a man who briefly lit up her world—until betrayal sent her spiraling back to her cinematic obsession. Reeling and desolate, Jane reaches a breaking point, only to be jolted by an eerie interruption. As she grapples with her unraveling life, her revered screen idol emerges from beyond the grave, pulling Jane into a haunting, surreal encounter. This short film weaves a tale of love, loss, and an otherworldly twist."
