TRUE CRIME SERIES EPISODE 1

An award-winning television production company is casting actors for emotionally charged reenactments in a major network crime/drama series! This series features true murder stories enhanced with high-end recreations of the dramatic events. We are seeking actors to play the non-speaking role of murderer, victim, suspect and witness! Actors will be professionally costumed and made up for their role in a tragic crime scene. Shooting will be in the New York area. Roles may require a 1-4 day commitment.



EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode, a 72 year-old nun is found strangled and stabbed to death in the chapel she was preparing for Holy Saturday mass. Some of her wounds formed what experts claimed to be an inverted cross. Police are stumped and the case remained cold for over two decades until new technology shed light on the suspect – or did it? Does an innocent man sit in prison while the killer still roams the streets?



ROLES:


VICTIM SISTER WENDY – Caucasian, 5’ 2”, appears to be early 70’s, was viciously murdered in a cult ritual by being stabbed and left splayed out on an alter.
