Hi! Welcome to the casting call for CANDY. I'm excited to announce that I can finally take this project further, as I've been waiting to do so since 2018!
As of writing this, I’m somewhere in the middle of filming episode 1, and now I'm counting on receiving enough auditions to proceed with further production. The series will be posted on YouTube, and sneak peeks will also be published on Twitter and Instagram. It will be filmed using Sims 4, and I may also use Blender for certain scenes.
I'm not hiding the fact that I began CANDY mostly to learn how to film in Sims 4 and to practice my writing, therefore, I don't plan to focus entirely on this project. I've been thinking of resuming an old series of mine that will be my main focus. As a person with limited free time and some health problems, I can't promise that 'CANDY' will be a regularly published series, however, I will do my best to keep you updated on my project from time to time.
Synopsis: In the quiet town of Blossom Creek, the enigmatic and a bit chaotic Candy arrives at a new high school, only to discover that her former summer love, Ji Eun, who heartlessly broke up with her through a text message, is now an intern there. Their reunion coincides with a wave of murders, gang riots, and kidnappings. Together, they must navigate the chaos of their personal lives while unraveling the mysteries that threaten to shatter their beloved town and its surroundings.
Genre: mystery, drama, romance
Important: The series includes sensitive topics such as violence, murder, partial nudity, mental illnesses, drug and alcohol abuse, overdosing, sex scenes (not too explicit) and heavy swearing. If you find any of those topics triggering, this project may not be for you. (UPDATE: I will strive to make this series as much YouTube-policy friendly as possible to avoid any issues and the possibility of the video being blocked, so I will ensure that the episodes ultimately are not 'R' rated.)
[The accents in the characters' descriptions are just a suggestion. If you have a different accent, you're still free to audition.]
Rules:
-Clear audio: Be sure to denoise your audio before sending the audition. I’m okay with auditions recorded with smartphones as long as the quality is good.
-Show emotions: I kindly request that you do not send auditions where you simply read the lines. It's not what I'm looking for. Be prepared that in some roles you will have to scream.
-I DO NOT work with homophobes, racists, transphobes, etc. so if you’re not okay with LGBTQ+ content and POC characters, DO NOT audition.
-Once you’re cast, stick to the deadline. I usually give 1-2 months to record all needed lines and I’m okay with extensions, but if you decide to ghost me, I will be forced to find a replacement.
-Repeat each line 2-3 times
-You can change lines a bit if you feel they will sound better.
-Take time to read the character’s descriptions so you could be able to portray them more realistically.
-The most important one - have fun! I’m doing this project for fun and I’m hoping that I can give you some nice characters to play:)
If you don’t want to post your auditions here or have problems with doing so, you can send them to - [redacted]
When you're cast, I will need your Discord handle so I can add you to my server, so please include your handle along with your audition.
