WildClaw Theatre seeking submissions for DEATHSCRIBE 2009
DEATHSCRIBE 2009: The Second Annual International Festival of Radio Horror Plays
OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS!
WildClaw Theatre is proud to announce that we are accepting submissions for the second annual DEATHSCRIBE Horror Radio Play Festival. We are looking for 10 minute radio scripts that are genuinely scary, imaginative, chilling, intelligent, suspenseful, horrific or downright grotesque. We put no restrictions on contestants as to content or tone, but keep in mind that we are a Horror Theatre. We take our horror seriously, and so should you.
So, if you have a dandy little campfire tale to share – and you know you do – visit http://www.wildclawtheatre.com/wc_html/deathscribe09.html for submission rules and regulations. Likewise, if you know someone who would like to toss their bloody hat in the ring, please feel free to forward this email along. Submission deadline is July 30th, 2009, so get crackin’!
Last year’s DEATHSCRIBE (held Oct 6, 2008 at Chicago’s historic Music Box Theatre) was an extraordinary evening of live performances of original short radio plays, written by horror enthusiasts and professionals from all around the globe. The thrill of watching skilled foley artists creating sound effects live, right in front of you, is truly like no other. With live musical accompaniment, special guest directors and a celebrity panel to judge the best in the fest, the night was magical and we’re looking to do it again, bigger and better!
(To listen to the live recordings of DEATHSCRIBE 2008, go to http://wildclawbloodradio.blogspot.com/ and look in the upper right hand corner. Podcasts are also available on ITunes.)

The feature film, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET is searching for REAL POLICE, REAL FIREFIGHTERS, REAL PARAMEDICS, REAL COFFEE SHOP BARISTAS, REAL BOOKSTORE CLERKS and REAL PRESS TYPES. We are also searching for males and females, all ethnicities, 18-years-of-age and up, to work in non-speaking roles as ONLOOKERS and SHOPPERS. These are paid positions.

List your experience and also list if this would be your first time on a film set. Our director likes to work with First-timers. We also love casting real friends and family members.
We are only able to consider local Chicago/Suburban area people for this shoot.
These scenes will be shooting on or around June 22nd, and July 1st. The shoots will be filming at night and during the day and might require a wardrobe fitting.

In the subject line of the e-mail please put your age, ethnicity and list if you are any of the real types we are looking for. (For example, 31, ASIAN, POLICE.)
Please note: Sending in your photograph does not guarantee you a part as a non-speaking extra.
Thank you so much! Everyone cast so far has been having a blast on set.
Sincerely, screams and more screams,
