NOTE
— The intention in advertising roles at this early stage is to identify key cast and crew members now and to take our time during fundraising to familiarize with the series, the roles, the objectives and with each other. That way, if and when sufficient funding is available, we’ll have already built the relationships and the knowledge to be ready to roll on production. If that’s okay with you, please send word to studiotar@icloud.com, with the desired role as subject. Thank you for considering the project!

— The lack of character breakdowns is intentional. While characters have been written a certain way to start, we expect changes in profiles and arcs after final casting. We’ll look for people first, who meet the general age and cultural preferences, and reshape the final characters and scripts, as needed, around the selected actors.

Since there’s no restriction, a future, filming window can be decided upon by the main cast and crew players. … Travel and housing are included, so applicants from anywhere are welcome.
