Audition Space Filling Up Fast

If you haven't already RSVP'd for the Dashboard Light please do so as soon as possible. 

We have had a huge number of actors respond and are looking forward to the auditions. 

If you are planning to audition online via Skype or by email, an email will be sent out with the details - but if possible we'd really prefer to meet you in person. 

Please prepare a monologue (this film is a dramatic comedy shot in the Wes Anderson vein). Sides are still being chosen but will be available for cold reads at the audition. 

We're hoping to find actors who, if not chosen for a primary part, will be interested in a secondary or minor part. Remember folks, it's for the good of the movie. We're trying to make the best possible film we can.
