WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY ROBERT SILVERSTEIN

AUDITION TAPE INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for your interest in joining our production. Please read the following carefully to ensure your self-tape meets all necessary requirements.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

• Choose the role(s) you feel most connected to. You are welcome to read for more than one character.

• Introduce yourself at the beginning of the tape with your full name, height, location, and the name(s) of the character(s) you're reading for.
  Slate example: “Hi, my name is [Full Name], I’m [Height], based in [City, State], and I’ll be reading for the role of [Character Name].”

• Submit one file per character if reading for multiple roles.

TAPING GUIDELINES:

• Record in a well-lit, quiet environment with a clean, neutral background.

• Frame your shot from the chest up (medium close-up).

• Use a tripod or stable surface to avoid shaky footage.

• Have a reader off-camera if possible. If not, reading the other lines yourself is okay—just keep the focus on your performance.

• Please record in horizontal (landscape) orientation.

PERFORMANCE NOTES:

• Stay grounded and authentic. We want to see you in the role.

• Memorization is not required, but be as familiar with the material as possible.

• Feel free to make bold choices—this is your moment to show us who this character could be through your eyes.

DEADLINE:

All self-tapes are due no later than July 31, 2025.
Late submissions may not be considered, so please plan accordingly.
