If you are interested in being considered for this project please also read the General Information page, and the Frequently Asked Questions page before contacting us....
 
As mentioned in the General Information page, our films are intended to evoke a strong emotional response from the audience. In order for this to happen, the audience has to react viscerally to the plight of the characters which, in these films, is extreme.

These are HORROR films! That means that traumatic things happen to some of the characters and other characters are causing those things to happen, so if you aren't comfortable acting in either of those situations, this might not be the right genre for you. 

The Lead parts are compensated with a Deferred Payment Contract which pays the actor based on the success of the film. The amounts (percentage) paid for each part will be settled on a case by case basis. We will be offering a Deferred Payment Contract that begins payments to the lead actors and actresses when the film begins to turn a profit. Please read more about deferred payments at the bottom of this page....

As stated on the FAQ page, this is a low budget, independent production, so please do not expect to "get rich quick" or "quit your day job" if you are selected for a part in one of these movies. The people involved in these projects do this because it is their passion, not because they are expecting to be showered with money. We hope that all of our films will be big successes, but we can't guarantee that they will be. Just want to be very clear on that.

We will need supporting actors and some extras for "The Vampire Chronicles" to be vampire victims, local yocal's, law enforcement, etc. Extras and bit parts are non-paid, but you will receive professional acting credit which can be listed in the Internet Movies Database  and we can set up a profile for you if you don’t already have one.

There may also be some principle parts that receive a profit sharing agreement.

We do require everyone to sign a talent release which is a distribution requirement and this is not negotiable.

Lynn is an investigative reporter for "The Glob" which is a sleazy tabloid that publishes anything that will sell copies to those lacking common sense. Lynn has traveled to Abberdine County where she hopes to find the owner of a bizzare side show to no avail. Talking to a few locals, she takes an interest in the vampire legends and, when she gets too nosey, is captured by the local vampire clan.

This is the biggest supporting role available at this time and should require several short days of shooting at most.

Max is one of Monica's co-workers and likes to play strange video games. This part would only require a one day shoot for a few hours at most, unless expanded for episode two.

Need a country-fied local employee who could be working in a local convenience store, general store, hardware store etc, to give directions and tell  some tall tales to lynn. This would be a short, one day shoot that shouldn't take more than a few hours.

Need a local bartender who could be working in a local bar, to warn Lynn that there "aint no vampares" in that cemetery and she ought to not be mess'n around down there. This would be a short, one day shoot that shouldn't take more than a few hours.

Need several extras including one featured extra that would be a cashier in a restaurant. These would be short, one day shoots that shouldn't take more than a few hours.

Most of the independent movie producers in Texas are not making cash payments to the actors because, like most independent producers, they don't have any money in their budgets to pay the actors. Instead, they offer the actors what is called a “Deferred Payment.” This means that if the film grosses a certain amount at the box office / video store, the actor will receive a payment. The industry standard for “Deferred Payments” is that $50,000.00 will be paid to the actor if the film grosses $10,000,000.00 (ten million), then an additional $50,000.00 for each additional ten million. If the film never reaches the ten million mark, the actor receives nothing. Unfortunately the vast majority of low budget, independent films never even come close to reaching that ten million dollar mark, so in these cases, the actors are not paid anything at all. The actors that work are working because they have a passion for acting, and because it gives them exposure in the film industry.

We, at B Film Productions, want our actors and actresses to receive a payments long before the film grosses ten million! We will be offering a “Deferred Payment” contract that begins paying the actor as soon as the film begins to make a profit, rather than waiting for the film to gross ten million, for their performances. If the film that you are in is a big success, or even a moderate success, we want you to share in the profits! If you are new to film acting, the payment you receive does two things for you. 1) It establishes you as a professional actor. 2) It is a step towards qualifying for membership in the Actors Guild, if you are interested in pursuing that.

Of course, there is no guarantee that any of our films will make a large profit but even if one of our films has some moderate success we want our actors and actresses to benefit from that success.

As stated on the FAQ page, this is a low budget, independent production, so please do not expect to "get rich quick" or "quit your day job" if you are selected for a part in this movie. We hope that all of our films will be big successes, but we can't guarantee that they will be.

Just want to be very clear on that. 

If you are interested in helping on the production end of the project, doing camera work, lighting, makeup, etc., please email us and let us know what you're interested in doing. Again, due to budget constraints, we can't pay the production staff, but we will include the your names in the credits.
