This is a bait in progress subject to the various types of shitfuckery that can happen in a live bait.

Quote:

Hello!

I am Brad with Bware Productions.

I have the backing to produce a short film in West Africa. I am in need of four actors/actresses to star in this film.

The requirements from you and other cast members:

1) Be able to speak and read English.
2) Work with an American production film crew.
3) Have the ability to memorize two pages of script per day and act the scene within the next shooting day.
4)Produce a short casting video (5 to 10 minutes) with a script of the producing company's choosing.

Compensation for the completed film: $20,000 per actor/actress, Business Class roundtrip airfare for two from to the premiere of the film in Cannes, France May 8th through the 19th 2018.
Accommodations for the casting crew while in Cannes. The trip is all-inclusive for the cast.
Actors will be entitled to 1% of film royalties in perpetuity.

THIS IS NOT A FORMAL OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT

If we cast you, we will submit to you a formal offer of employment with a contract.

An advancement of $7,500 per actor/actress will be paid upon acceptance of the casting video submitted by you.

All actors/actresses must be 16 years of age or older

Do you have a Skype account? If you are interested, I would love to explain this in more detail via skype or I can call you.

Time is of the essence, so I await your urgent reply. Thank you and happy New Year.

Sincerely,

Brad
Director/Producer
Bware Productions

Hello Mark and thank you for your reply.

I will be back on Skype tomorrow. You are in Cote d'Ivoire? Can all of the requirements be met by you?

We have so many replies from people unable to fulfil them, that I must ask.

Thank you.

Mark wrote:

Yes, I am in Cote d'Ivoire. All the requirements can be met by me.

Blah, blah, blah and we skip ahead to the actor headshots.

Dear Brad,

Tell me please if this headshot is suitable.

Regards,
Mark

I'm keeping the pic intentionally small. The words are the lad's name and the position he is applying for at Bware.

Second actor:

Mark's video later today or tomorrow. His first one was bad.

I hope you're going to get some better looking ladettes this time Very Happy

^ That may be tough, but I'm trying B8er. Very Happy

The actors look plenty happy in their photos, especially the first one. Are you taking requests for scenes for them to perform? I want to see the "Puttin' on the Ritz" scene from Young Frankenstein, if they are up for singing and dancing. Otherwise, I want to see them replicate the paper boat scene from "IT". It (no pun intended) would be hilarious to see lads trying to pull off the creepy clown look.

Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2018 5:38 am

^I don't mind taking request ...Puttin' on the Ritz is ambitious. Laughing

The boat scene is interesting.

For grins and giggles ...he made a VD post for me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycvaGlzwpZs&feature=youtu.be

"Hello. Am JC by name and I want to be your Valentine."

"Why would I make a great Valentine?"

"My mind is sharp, my heart is pure and my feet are clean."

"I am ambidextrous as I am descended from travelling acrobats."

"My love will last until someone better comes along."

"In short, I write the songs that make the young girls cry."

"I write the songs."

Time to move on to the second actor.

Quote:

I hope everything is ok, Mark? Your video (the one seated) was accepted. Congrats!! Now we will need the next actor's video. Please let me know when he is ready and I will send the scene and script.

Bravo.

Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2018 3:49 am

^ High praise from a master. Thank you.

Well done. I like your format. Short and to the point without much room for asking for money first which he probably did anyway. However, you format covered that.

It kinda reminds me of my fundraiser format. There is a lot of potential in a well worded format. Again, very well done. Don't push it, this is yours but if you can get them to dress in a costume, you earn an icon. Again though, this is yours and yours alone so don't risk it too early just for an icon. Homemade costumes are better but any costume will do.

I'm not trying to push you. This is simply FYI and I only mention because you can work a costume into the mix Very Happy

Way to go JustHot, good to know where the poem and video came from! Laughing

Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2018 10:11 pm

This is going to be good.

Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2018 11:29 pm

I'm so glad I didn't read the quotes in your post before clicking on the video. It was so much more fun to watch not knowing what to expect and to have the "I'm ambidextrous from a line of acrobats" line come out of the blue. Laughing

Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2018 11:42 pm

Great work! I'm really glad his VD video was accepted. BTW, there's nothing worse than dirty feet...

I hesitated over posting the words, but his accent is so pronounced that I wanted to make sure all of us could understand what is being said. You're right ...it's better when the words come out of the blue.

Thursten ...dirty feet quell the fires that might start up in the boudoir.

I hope so bud.

Thanks, Ghost. This next audition video will, hopefully, provide us with some comedy relief. Very Happy

Brad wrote:

Hello Mark!

Ok. This will be a big step up for the next actor. This scene will also require some costume. Nothing too difficult and you should be able to use clothes or sheets around the house.

Mark wrote:

Do you want the actor to have a book in front of him like in the video or do the sketch without a book?

Brad wrote:

I would go with a book. It is germane to the sketch. The costume is huge too.

What do you think?

I can't wait to see where you go with this. If you are taking suggestions for scenes, might I suggest the scene in A Fish Called Wanda where Otto is shoving French Fries up the nose of Ken in an attempt to find the location of the diamonds they stole.

Yep, this will be good! Very Happy

I've been told that anything produced by bware was utter (udder?) shit (thanks for the love SOOI). It's nice to see the lads are keeping with that tradition. I can't wait to see more. Who doesn't love a good lad video?

Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2018 3:49 pm

^Hi there. Mark has added an actress.

Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2018 5:19 pm

I love this modality. Well done. As has been pointed out by Ghost, it removes the ability to ask for money, which puts the lad/esses totally off script immediately, and it has them pliable. Really well done.

Quote:

removes the ability to ask for money

I lose patience with pleas for upfront cash. Mark has not mentioned money but is on top of my requests, so I know he is trying to get to the payment stage asap.

Most of the audition videos are rejected as first submissions. Plainly not up to par. But I enjoy them nonetheless and giggle like a little school girl. I'm simple-minded like that.

I never really thought that some of you might like to view them, but if you would, I will post them here. I have the latest video loading now to youtube. It is rejected and will be re-shot later today his time (if all goes to plan).

If no one wants to see them, you can all go to hell. I will post the accepted video when I receive it.

Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2018 2:26 am

Post them all please. Rejects can sometimes be funnier than the "winners". Laughing

Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2018 2:55 am

This a REJECTED video. For numerous reasons, the video is not what I asked for and/or the quality is not good enough for bware productions.

The sketch is from the great Rowan Atkinson.

Sorry if I seemed critical in my email Mark, but I want all of you to be a part of this and we have to get all of you hired by the end of February.
I do have some good news for you. Your final payment is advanced to 50,000 USD and an advance of 15,000 USD when you have your contract. We will also need to outfit you with some electronics. You and I will go through some gear this week and pick out which cameras, phones, laptops will be best suited for you. Bware productions will then purchase your picks and I will either send them to you or bring them when I arrive.
If you have any questions concerning re-shooting the last audition, please ask now. I will be going to bed soon.

We then had a skype voice conversation. Putting him down and propping him back up. Bware productions is a bitch to work for, but the money is good.

Muhaahha! Very well done, congrats! clapping
