Beer15 Beer Label

I hear you asking, ‘how can you be shooting a pilot if you haven’t done any casting?’ Well, that will be first of course and in the next day or so we’ll have our first casting announcement. We’ll be contacting those of you that submitted so far to come in. The first casting session will be open as well, in case you did submit and we accidentally did not let you know about it! Seriously, we got a lot of submissions so it’s possible we will miss people with our emails.

Stay tuned for the casting notice. Now how about those t-shirts…

Thank you to everyone who has submitted their headshots and resumes to the project so far. Please keep them coming. We will be getting in touch will people in a few weeks when we narrow down our audition times. Again, please continue to submit!

Thank you, also to those who sent audio samples for some of the musical roles.
