Casting Call for Improv Actors

For those who may be interested I have received information on a Casting Call. Please see below. I do not have any more information on this so if you have questions or concerns please contact the people in the below message.Thanks!Allyson TV PILOT – “THE GYM” on DV (22 minutes)HelloErika Grace Allen (creator, executive producer, assistant director, and co-developer), Ishu Krishna (director, executive producer) , Ryan Parr (co-developer) and Tom Suess (co-developer) are casting for, and forming a production team to create, a sitcom pilot for entry in competitions such as The New York Television Festival www.nytvf.com and to pitch to television networks. Using an unusual format to write and develop the show, they want improvisers to “own” the characters that have been created and “write” dialogue via in-character group interaction. Those improvisers selected will be given writer credit as well as actor credit on the media and documents produced (pilot, script, treatment, etc.) and registered with the Screenwriters Guild and copy right authorities and will be included in the “package” pitch to networks. This is a non-union, 100% purely volunteer project, although you’ll be fed during shoot days. However, once the improv actors/writers are cast and the technical crew is selected, we will then form the official production company (made up of all cast and crew) and future compensation will be discussed and agreed upon by all production company members in conjunction with pilot production.
