Hi everybody,
I came across a very cool opportunity today and I'd like to share it with you. A good friend of mine, Matthew Carr, who moved to LA a while back and is now working for a kick-ass West Coast PR firm, contacted me and told me about a short-term intern opportunity that will be happening in New York in the very near future. I will paste the details below, but please note that the people that end up helping him and his firm on this project get an opportunity to audition for a major motion picutre and they will also be invited as a VIP to the after-casting party. Check it out, and if you are interested , contact HIPPO FILMS at:
We are looking for some help when in New York to put together goodie bags and some other press materials. Those interns assisting will be assured an audition. They will want to prepare a Monty Python monologue, prefarably comedic. I would suggest mainly men for this, however there are a few female roles, as they are casting for the troupe members as principals as well as others, Graham Chapman, Michale Palin, John CLeese, Eric Idle Keith Moon, Marty Feldman, etc. The interns will also receive a VIP pass to the after party which will be an opportunity to network and schmooze with the Director, casting director, art director, and producers of the film as well as sponsors and backers. This WILL be in Breakdown services and in Backstage and several sites as well.
Here is the press release with more information about the film FYI--the LA auditions were A SCREAM CRAZY with over 500 on hand, many who did camp out overnight to be seen. MSNBC, BBC, LA Weekly and TV Guide all picked up the story and covered it, generating great publicity for the film!
MONTY PYTHON AUDITIONS TO HIT NEW YORK CITY
Hollywood, CA (April 29, 2004) – Actors, performers and Monty Python fans from the U.S. and Canada will be converging upon New York City on Saturday, June 5th, to audition for the roles of the young members of Monty Python,
the famed British comedy troupe, in an upcoming feature film.
Hippofilms, a Los Angeles-based film production company, has announced New York City as the next stop of a worldwide casting call for its upcoming theatrical film, GIN AND TONIC, a comic-drama based on the life of late Python member Graham Chapman.
The first auditions for GIN AND TONIC took place in Hollywood, California on March 20th, 2004, and saw many die-hard, costumed Python fans camped out on the street overnight, drawing the ire of some local residents.
According to David Eric Brenner, President of Hippofilms, “The first Monty Python auditions redefined how much fun an auditioning process can be. The costumes were hilarious, the camaraderie amazing, and most important, the
comedic talent was inspired. We’re expecting more of the same in New York.”
Hippofilms is working closely with The Graham Chapman Archives to select six young actors to portray the world-famous comedians (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) in a $12
million feature film to be shot in London later this year.
Jim Yoakum, Director of the Graham Chapman Archives, stated, “In the comedic spirit of Graham Chapman and Monty Python, these auditions will be open to everyone. No experience necessary, no sanity required.”
The New York City auditions will take place on Saturday, June 5th, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Theatre Row Studios, 410 West 42nd Street, New York City, New York 10036. Following the auditions will be a lively GIN AND
TONIC/Python-themed mixer at a nearby Manhattan pub. Those seeking further information about the auditions can visit the GIN AND TONIC film website: www.ginandtonicmovie.com.
