Jake & Will: CONTEST WARRIORS

Two filmmakers chasing the dream of producing their first feature film...
...and financing it solely through winning video contests.


Yesterday we held auditions for our upcoming entry to the Doritos Crash The Superbowl Contest. Over $1,000,000 in prizes and an incredible amount of media exposure is at stake. Needless to say, we want to do this one right.

Here are some of the highlights from our day of casting:

1. People auditioning for the "hot cheerleader" but coming dressed in a parka and sweatpants.

2. A woman who taught her dog to push a tiny plastic stroller around our audition space.

3. Children crying in the waiting room as their pushy show-moms crammed lines into their brains.

4. Jake coming down with the flu DURING the auditions.


And finally

5. A dog that took a full-on shit in the casting room while we sat watching with our jaws dropped... and Alison dutifully cleaning it up and Lysol-ing.

That's the basic rundown of the day. We ended up finding some really great actors for the roles despite all the weirdness. We'll have something posted within the next couple weeks. Stay tuned.

Just hearing the descriptions of the roles for this commercial has me very excited to see the end product. I'm curious to know how a cheerleader, children and a dog that can crap on command are going to fit into a commercial.

Can I audition for the part of the dog who takes a shit?

Will said...

No.

And also, so you guys aren't disappointed by the final product, the dog WASN'T supposed to shit in the audition room.

Well now that I know that there was a dog that took a shit in the audition room, I want to see a dog take a shit in the final product please.
