Casting Call! Need Mermaid/Merman Extras!

[Lotus the Mermaid]

If this happenes in early 2016 I would love to join

It will happen in the spring/early summer of 2016!!! You're welcome to join!

Speaking of which, UPDATE!!!

We're going to have our camcorder ready by then for sure! I'm going to have it by Christmas thanks to my very sweet and supportive parents offering to get it for me then! So I'm incredibly excited that we don't have to rely on a fundraiser as of yet. We will still be shooting on location in Austin, TX for the underwater shots and we're going to try to get as many scenes done as possible. The castle will likely just be added via CGI later when I get a subscription to Maya or some other program for a bit. It would honestly be a thousand times easier than trying to lug pieces of scenery to and from Austin and have to fish them out of a swimming hole. (It also eliminates the possibility of accidental littering)! We're going to be as eco-friendly as humanly possible during the entirety of this project, fyi. Try to make sure that whatever you're wearing to the shoot is secure enough that you won't lose it!

Let me know if you have any questions and thanks again for everyone who's signed on! If that changes, no pressure! This is a fun project for us mers to take part in together! <3

Latest update, here! I created a Facebook Group for the project so if anyone wants to join it to stay more immediately in the loop, it's much easier to post updates to Facebook than MN!

Here's the link: SWT - Filming Starts Summer 2016!

It's set to Closed, so you can request to join and I'll add you! Thanks, everybody!

I would love to do it only problem is I live in Kentucky and haven't gotten a tail yet. I am hoping to get mine as soon as I get enough funds to do so. Hope it goes well!

Aww, that's okay! I hope you get your tail soon! If you find yourself in Texas around film time, you're welcome to hop in the scene! Thank you!!!

[Mermaid Lizzie]

Omg that would be so cool! I might somehow find a way to ge there!

[Lotus the Mermaid]

Yeah!! Go for it!!

[Mermaid Pickles]

Whoops shame on me i should have gotten on here long ago. But whoohoo! This sounds amazing! If i still have a place to live by then I'll definitely be up for doing this!

[MermaidSaph]

I will most likely have a tail by then, but it would be hard to get permission from my parents. Being 13 sucks at points...

[Lotus the Mermaid]

Mermaid Pickles, I appreciate you letting me know!! You're always welcome to come!

MermaidAnna, you're also welcome to join if you can get permission! If your mother needs to talk to me or gather any additional information, let me know and I'll be happy to oblige.

This sounds really neat; any restrictions on what type of tail? I'm not the richest mermaid so I'm getting a Fin Fun tail. Also I am in the Austin area so it sounds like I could help out!

That's fantastic! We don't have any restrictions on tail types; all mers are welcome! Thank you so much!

Just so everyone knows, I have the first several episodes written, and will definitely have a camera with which to film the series by the end of this year! I'll keep updating everyone as often as possible!!

[Keiris]

This seems like it would be so much fun to be a part of!

Update!!!

We've nearly finished writing the first season and we have at least 30-40 more actors and actresses signed on for filming! We also have several potential costumers and even one or two armorers! It's amazing how quickly it's all coming together!

***We will be filming promos this summer and stock footage to use for our Prologue episode - both of which will take place at the Lone Star Mer Meet in Austin this July 15th-17th! If you can be there, that would be perfect! We will still require mers for future scenes, however!

Here is the link to the event! It is free to attend, but info on room costs are included in the description if you need a room!

Please, message me if you are interested in joining! We will work with your schedule and will be setting aside part of the budget for actors who show up! We are always looking for more mers, so please feel free to sign up if you can! After the promos and crowd funding this year, we hope to begin filming next year and will be continuously casting for extras! Faeries, mers, Elves, etc. are especially needed!

Thank you all so much!

[Mermaid Pickles]

I just may happen to be able to get there! I also have a more LOTR-ish elf getup so- if you want a white-haired elf, I'm up for it! I'll also have a new tail skin by then, so woohoo!

[Amapele]

I'm just now seeing this! Are you still looking for Mermaids?

[Lotus the Mermaid]

Yes!!


Here's some more info for you guys. Please, feel free to share with friends and family on social media!

We aim to begin filming next year after crowd funding at least the first season. Primarily, our shoots will take place throughout the DFW and Austin areas.

Auditions are not necessary for those looking solely to be extras or behind the scenes crew members, but resumes and headshots are highly appreciated. No experience necessary.

For larger roles, message me that you are interested in a role with lines and more screen time. We will contact you closer to filming to request auditions and hold interviews. Resumes are appreciated, but not required.

There will be a cut in the budget set aside for actors who show up to shoots that will vary depending on screen time and number of lines spoken.

We still need more costumers and SFX artists. The majority of our budget will be dedicated to these fields. We have already contacted the incredible Organic Armor and hope to soon have the honor of working with them for a great deal of the main armor for the series. We also have a chainmail worker and a few armored individuals and at least one or two SFX artists on call.

Our director, James Blanco will be meeting with us for filming and we are always looking for additional camera men on call as backups - specifically around the DFW area. Photographers are welcome to take set photos and share in the fun.

Plot Summary:
Three young women discover that they are the lost descendants of a dying race of mer-people. Thrust into another world whose inhabitants are slowly being overwhelmed by a mysterious force, they must learn to hone their new abilities and work together to defeat a looming threat.
