SLENDERVERSE WEB SERIES AUDITIONS INFORMATION BELOW

It's been a while, but if you don't know me by now, my name is Tim and I am the creator of an in-progress webseries titled: Anniversary Log on YouTube. It is a free project myself and some friends of mine are filming partially for fun and partially because I'd like to take the steps to start becoming a film director.

This webseries follows a college-aged man named Samuel who is documenting his search for his missing girlfriend Emilia.

I am looking for actors for this series, specifically for the two main characters: Sam Moreno and his girlfriend Emilia Hall.

I must clarify that the project is a hobby/student-film esque type of project and you WILL NOT BE PAID for it. The foundations of Anniversary Log are built solely on volunteers, friendship, and the mutual love for the Slenderverse and webseries like Marble Hornets.

It is extremely important that we recast these roles, as our previous actors had to step down because their schedules didn't allow them free time to dedicate to the project. If you choose to participate, here are the requirements:

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE: Many in the cast and crew are in school and have jobs, but have flexible-enough schedules that it works in the project's favor. It is preferable that you are off on the weekends (especially Sunday) as we have rehearsals and table reads to do :)

LOCATION: These are in-person roles, meaning you MUST BE LOCAL to sign up. The project is centered in Texas around the San Antonio area, so it is preferred that you are close.

EMILIA: Female presenting

SAM: Male presenting

It is required of everyone in our cast and crew to be polite and respectful to everybody. It is incredibly important we keep a kind and non-hostile environment. This project is supposed to be fun amongst fans of Slenderverse horror.

If you choose to participate, the following is required of you in general:

DISCORD: The Anniversary Log crew work dilligently behind the scenes in a discord server where we can all communicate easily with each other. There is also an official Anniversary Log server where you will meet and chat with others who are interested in the series. This is also where you will spend majority of your time rehearsing with other people and praciticing before the auditions.

AVAILABILITY: I reach out quite a bit with many emails, informationals, dms and such that contain important information about the audition process and about the project itself. It is important that you have the time (and energy) to respond to these and check them as frequently as you can :)

A MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION: The character Sam Moreno is described as having a car in many scenes of Anniversary Log. He is also shown entering and exiting said car. It is important you have a means of transportation that will allow you to travel to and from our filming locations !!

SOCIAL MEDIA: In order to properly credit you, I must have access to your social media usernames so I can put them in the descriptors for all of our advertisement as well as in the bio of our Anniversary Log profiles.

EMAIL: It is required on the audition sheet to provide your email address. Please use one you check and use often, as it is important for me to have access to these. These email addresses are where you will receive the emails notifying you if you have made callbacks

ZOOM: These auditions will be held over Zoom. Primarily for everybody's (including my) safety. It also gives us a way so that all of the crew can be present for the auditions and can contribute accordingly.

The audition sheet is linked below. If you have any questions, here are my social medias:
