Compensation:

Since I will have to fund this pilot web series entirely by myself, I'm not able to offer actors a flat fee. However, I will provide reasonable travel costs, accommodation if needed, good quality home cooked food, snacks, drinks, and IMDb credits. Furthermore, if this series garners attention in China or the West then I'll also be able to offer you paid work in our second series.

Filming Dates:

We are currently planning to film on Monday 5th May (bank holiday), Friday 9th May, and Tuesday 13th May this year. But those dates are somewhat flexible, so feel free to let us know what other dates in May you have available.

Key Crew Members:

Daniel D. Newman, screenwriter and director, imdb.me/DanielDNewman
Robert Campbell, cinematographer, imdb.com/name/nm10688252
Charlie Hinde, sound recordist,

imdb.com/name/nm9387202/

Locations:

We have obtained permission to film free of charge in some amazing Victorian locations in and around London, so this is a great opportunity for actors to appear in a witty, picturesque and mysterious 19th century costume drama.

How To Apply:

If you're interested in being a part of this costume drama then please send a private self-tape video link to danielnewmanconsults@gmail.com showing you reading one or more of the above parts using the following sides by Wednesday 2nd April 2025:
