Needed for a low budget, non SAG feature currently in pre-production: Cast and crew.
To be shot in the North Georgia, western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee area. We are planning on a late summer/early fall start date for principle photography. The film is to be shot on High Definition digital video at 24 fps. There will be medics on the set at all times.
The feature is “No Good Deed” a story of friendship and revenge. There is plenty of blood and violence, strong characters, and several unusual plot twists. It is an 80’s style film with a new millennium sensibility. It could be considered a slasher/thriller style film without other-worldly elements. Basically the evil that humans can direct towards other humans is far more edgy and frightening than vampires and zombies.
Three young women, recently graduated from college, are taking a road trip. They are spirited and fun-loving with very distinct personalities and each with a secret:
Marla – Very attractive and self-assured. She has short cropped hair and the body of an Amazon. She is bi-sexual.
Tracie – Sweet, pretty, cheer-leader material who is embarrassed to let others know that she is still a virgin.
Liz – Nice looking but self conscious about her weight and thus prone to be a little promiscuous in order to feel wanted.
They run across another young woman:
Nacelle: Tall and beautiful, with a personality that is at times shy, and at others very strong. She is obviously running away from something in her past. She has the biggest secret of them all.
Nacelle is being harassed by several local bullies when she is introduced. The girls help her escape and the bullies decide to find the girls and make them all pay for embarrassing them. Murder and revenge are the result. Saving Nacelle is the good deed done that will not go unpunished.
All of the lead actors and actresses need to be fit since the story is very action oriented. We are not looking for weightlifters, models, or unreal types, but real people with the stamina for action sequences. In other words runners as apposed to body builders. Must be willing to get dirty, sweaty, and tired. There is some nudity, non-explicit sex and rape scenes, and enough blood-letting and torture that the squeamish need not apply. This is not pornography, there is no full frontal nudity, and filming of these scenes will be done discreetly, with minimal crew on set.
We are looking for actresses that are comfortable with brief nudity, not exhibitionists who can’t act.
The male actors also need strong acting skills and must have the ability to be able to express a wide range of emotions without over-emoting.
No actors or actresses under the age of 21 will be considered.
Open casting for any unfilled major roles, minor roles, and extras will be held at a later date. Notify us if you desire details. Please bring headshot and brief resume at that time.
Massive experience is not as important as enthusiasm and commitment to the project, though we do require acting ability for all roles.
This is a deferred payment, non-SAG film that will be aggressively marketed upon completion. Food will be furnished, copies of the finished film for each participant, title credit, and a generous deferral plan for any monies earned.
We would like to find a DP and a good sound person, each with equipment. We will accept film students if they possess the necessary skills. We also need an experienced fight coordinator and a make-up/blood and gore specialist.

Peridociles Cross14:29 Sep 13 2009

From an in progress screenplay
I have been researching the legend of the Peridociles Cross, an ancient anti-Christian symbol that was named for and represents Peridociles The Dark, (a mythological to some and still worshipped by others) demon first alluded to in pre-Assyrian legends.
While the true appearance of the cross is somewhat shrouded by the mists of time it was said to be made of wood, arched in the middle like a body writhing in pain, and then treated with a potion made from natural ingredients (or magic), to give it the strength to last for hundreds, even thousands of years, thus transferring its evil across generations.
According to some sources Peridociles was mentioned in some of the lost books of the Apocrypha. During the dark ages he was most often referred to as the Prince of the Warlocks and was thought to be a shape-shifter and the father of the Black Death. It has been suggested that he was the cause of the massive witchhunts that murdered thousands of innocents in order to cover the true evils that his followers were committing. There are still small, scattered cults who practice a form of witchcraft in his name.
The biblical mythology is that it was he who seduced Judas and made him drunk with bad wine. While in this stuporous state Peridociles entered his body and it was he who actually betrayed Jesus. Judas was so distraught at his weakness and his inability to fight off the demon that he killed himself.
During the early 20th century their are tales of old and abandoned churches being discovered throughout Appalachia that had a Peridociles cross in front of the old pulpits. It was suggested that the reason for using churches was that if it had been stolen from God then the potential power of the evil emanating from there would be that much stronger. Some of the buildings were reconsecrated but most were burned to the ground. Most of those who were aware and had participated in the discoveries were sworn to secrecy.
