What this is?

Invite-only. Los Angeles, October 30. We’re shooting it as a film, and the cameras are already running.

Auditions wrapped on Saturday, October 10. We filmed them the way the 2000s talent shows did, when the tryout room was half the reason you watched.

We’re still building the crew and booking vendors. Missed the audition? Apply anyway. Every application stays on file.

Produced by Endless River and The DMF House, with creators whose audiences run into the millions.

References

  • American Idol. The audition room is half the show.
  • Project X. One night that turns into a world, then spirals.
  • The Blair Witch Project. Filmed like it’s really happening. Because it is.
  • Scream. Horror archetypes played straight, not as a joke.

How to get involved

Perform

Actors, performers, dancers, hosts. Also people who’ve never done this but know they’d be good at it.

Crew

Camera, sound, lighting, production design, wardrobe, makeup, PAs. Own gear or know a set? Say so. We’re building this crew from scratch.

Production

Writers, producers, financiers, partnerships, communications. The people who shape and ship the thing.

Vendor

Food, bar, activations, pop-ups, merch, experiences. If you run something that belongs in the room, tell us what and how it works.

Guidelines

  • 21 or older. We check ID at the door on October 30.
  • If you’re on camera with us, we may use the footage in the finished film and its marketing, whether or not you’re cast.
  • No trademarked costumes. Archetypes only: vampires, werewolves, final girls, video-store clerks. Anything owned by another brand can’t go in the film, and wearing one is the fastest way onto the cutting-room floor.

A few more rules will probably come up as this develops. We’ll tell you when they do.

Apply

Two minutes. Crew, production and vendor applications are open.

A reel, a portfolio, or just your best video. One link is fine.

Yes
No
Not sure

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