My acting inspriaton

My inspiration for the style and tone of acting I'm looking for:



Know anyone that can imitate that? I just had my casting call today and had a very hard time trying to explain the idea to the actors, many of which had training and experience. It really shocked me, actually, how hard it was for some of the actors to act in this way.

I think that's one hard aspect of selling this film. I think the more we talk about the project creatively people are starting to understand what I'm going for. My DP, Cris Mertens, wants to blows his brains out, I know, because he has to really downgrade his skills. I'm still trying to convince him that doing that really shows...dexterity? Right?

It's a hard idea to sell. Let's make something bad intentionally -- and in that, it'll be hilarious.

Send me some headshots/resumes/contact information if you know anyone who could act in this amazing and campy (but unaware) way.
