Fighting Owl Films is seeking Gulf Coast talent to fill several lead and supporting roles. Positions are paid. The project is expected to film in Mobile, Alabama, in spring 2024. Character breakdowns are below. Interested parties should email a headshot and resume to fightingowlfilms@gmail.com.
Hank Treme
50s - 60s
Friend and mentor to Nick Moon. He’s a know-it-all inventor and paranormal expert with a gruff exterior, but a real soft spot for Moon. Eclectic Southern gentleman.
Detective Bert Fortier
30s - 40s
The somewhat clueless but very game liaison between city officials and Nick and Daisy. He’s always treading water to keep up with the otherworldly incidents he gets pulled into. Nick’s best friend and Daisy’s boyfriend.
Chari Divine
30s - 40s
A fraudulent psychic who’s heart is in the right place – she may not have mystical talents, but she wants to help people. Feisty, flirty and argumentative, Chari can go toe-to-toe with anyone, whether it’s a game of wits or fisticuffs. Larger than life, but it’s all an act. New Jersey accent a plus.
Lon
20s
A want-to-be creature of the night who’s just a hapless idiot. Comedic role.
Dogman
A hulking wolf-man creature terrorizing the city. This role requires the performer to wear a full-body creature suit and mask. Physical performance is important.
Adrienne
30s - 50s
A quiet and unassuming local woman with a secret. She’s no nonsense.
Carly
30s - 50s
Protective partner of Adrienne, and guardian of her secret. Imposing demeanor.
Corky
20s - 50s
A warrior creature that is uncharacteristically well-spoken. Heavy creature makeup. Comedic timing a plus.
Merry Widow
20s - 50s
The malevolent specter of a Merry Widow that haunts the city. Role requires makeup prosthetics, physical movement.
Colette
30s - 60s
A flirty diner waitress with a crush on Nick Moon.
Deputy Mayor Ingram
30s - 50s
The Mayor’s right-hand man. Shady, acts like a mob boss.
Mayor Tipton
50s - 60s
The upstanding mayor of the city. Like a true politician, he has a great smile, warm presence and is capable of taking charge of any situation.
Aaron
20s - 30s
Security guard. Sweet natured, little bit of a screw-up.
Joy Carlson
30s - 60s
Trusted local news anchor. On-air experience not necessary, but a plus.
Tina Bartleby
20s - 40s
Local news correspondent and investigative journalist. On-air experience not necessary, but a plus.
