Seeking to Graphic Designers

We are SEEKING TO HIRE GRAPHIC DESIGNERS for two Michigan feature films, "Christmas in Pittsburgh" and "Eve." Details furnished upon request.

Please send RESUME & CONTACT INFO. to: smooze@thedreamdepot.com

Christmas in Pittsburgh

This is a story set at Christmas time where a newly-married couple who have nothing, realize that the only thing that matters is that they have each other.

It has a similar feel to an O. Henry short called, Gift of the Magi.

We are currently casting for a female lead for this Hallmark-type TV movie. We reviewed over six thousand actress' websites to find the perfect person to play our female lead. From those sites, we contacted and phone interviewed over two hundred people. Auditions ensued for sixty candidates. These final sixteen actresses are the result of our search. We are proud to introduce you to these great actresses.

Many thanks to all of you who have participated in our auditioning process by submitting headshots, resumes, reels and scenes. We hope to work with many of you on future projects.

EVE
(Is Eve the perfect woman or is her name short for Evil?)

This is a mystery about a series of murders that happen after an artist finds a portrait of a beautiful woman. In Hichcock fashion, it's up to you to try to figure who or what is committing the murders.

This project begins as a web series and will eventually develop into a feature film.

We are pleased to announce that we have been fortunate enough to cast Melissa Anschutz for the female lead on this project.
