What this is

An immersive night, shot as a film.

AFTER DARK is an invite-only immersive event in Los Angeles on October 30 — and it’s being made as a film, not just documented. Guests walk into a built world. Cameras are running the whole time.

The casting is part of the story. We’re filming the auditions the way the old talent shows did, when the room where people tried out was half the reason you watched. If you audition, you’re already in the footage.

It’s produced by The DMF House and Endless River, together with a group of creators whose audiences run into the millions.

Two ways in

On camera, or behind it.

Perform

On camera

Actors, performers, dancers, hosts, and people who’ve never done this but know they’d be good at it. No credits required. We care what you’re like in a room.

Crew

Behind it

Camera, sound, lighting, production design, wardrobe, makeup, PAs. If you own gear or know your way around a set, say so — we’re building this crew from scratch.

Read this first

The honest version.

  • This is unpaid. There’s no budget and we’re not going to pretend there is one. If that’s a no, it’s a no — no hard feelings.
  • Your audition is filmed, and it may appear in the finished film and in advertising for it, whether or not you’re cast.
  • We can’t promise anyone a role. That’s not a soft no — the narrative isn’t written yet. Applying puts you in front of us early, and that’s all it does.
  • You have to be 21 or older to be on camera on October 30. We check ID at the door.
  • Costumes are archetypes, not characters. Vampires, werewolves, final girls, video-store clerks. Nothing trademarked — we can’t put it in the film.

Apply

Two minutes. We’ll come back to you with specifics once the audition day is locked.

Not sure

No wrong answer — it just changes the paperwork, and we need to know before anyone is on camera.
