HBO MAX ‘MINX’

We’re excited to be casting Southern Californian locals as background talent for MINX, HBO Max

Sag-Aftra & non union adults are needed & encouraged to submit.

This is a light-hearted ‘adult’ comedy

Our story takes place Los Angeles in the early 70’s, so we’re specifically looking for background  talent that have natural 70’s vibe.  Sideburns, mustaches, afros,  Natural eyebrows, hair, no permanent make-up, acrylics nails or eyelash extensions. No breast implants.

Even though many scenes will not have anything sexual about them, we want to be crystal clear that this show is spicey!  There will be nudity, sexual situations, sexual content in our storyline.

In order to work on this project, you must be okay with the content, even though your scenes may have nothing to do with matters of a sexual nature.  For example at a restaurant, office, classic cars, a country club.

Important!

Production is a Zone A vaccine mandated show. All background talent will be required to submit proof of vaccination prior to employment.

Covid-19 testing will be ongoing and there will be strict Health & Safety Protocols. 

In efforts to update our Southern California talent that are fully vaccinated and interested to work on this project, we have a new online registration form.

DO NOT SUBMIT unless you are fully vaccinated and comfortable with the shows adult content.

A man has so much resentment and angst in his life that it physically manifests in the form of a weird goo creature that comes out of a space in his legs and tries to kill all his friends.

Echo Films is the name of a twenty episode sketch show that will be uploaded on the youtube channel of the same name on a once-to-twice-per-weekly basis. These episodes will range from ten seconds to three minutes and will have a loose premise of their characters being highly exaggerated versions of the real people who starred in E.F.’s previous incarnation I made as a kid. An Indiegogo campaign for the funding of MOOP will be announced two days after the eighteenth video is posted. This campaign will be treated as a seperate entertainment event onto itself, with every piece meant to attract as much attention as possible. An example of this would be having one of the backer rewards be something as disgusting as the body horror in MOOP in order to bait people into sharing the reward through social media. If the campaign dosen’t reach funding, the youtube channel will countinue, with attempts at expansion. If the opposite happens, then the actors I have aquired will reprise their roles in MOOP. Despite the premise being as weird as humanly possible, MOOP will be as straightly-played as it can and will have a far less exageratted tone than The Show.

Echo Films is not a thing, much less a company. This is a project to make Echo Films a thing. Whille there will likley be some ad revenue gained from the channel itself, I’m not gonna entice people who are overqualified by promising money that does not exist. I’m looking for people who are in a similar situation to me, possesing minimal experience in order to use this in the same way I will as a jumpstart to a potential career instead of a step in it.
