SELF SUBMISSIONS
simon max hill casting
Hi there! Welcome to the self-tape page for Paradise Records. We’re so pleased to be doing a light hearted comedy! These auditions are a bright spot in a sea of bleak, dirge-like crime movie scenes.
THIS SHOW IS CAST! YOU CAN SUBMIT STILL, BUT YOU’LL HAVE TO BE CAST IN THE NEXT PROJECT (WHICH WE ARE CURRENTLY CASTING, SO THAT’S FINE)
ABOUT THE MOVIE
Paradise Records is a feature film set to shoot in the Portland, OR area between May 13 and June 8, 2024
Our writer & director is Logic, a Grammy-nominated musician known for his speedy rhymes and sharp wit.
SHORT SUMMARY
Cooper, a well-meaning record store owner, faces foreclosure; he does all he can to keep his shop, Paradise Records, afloat and his friends employed. Battling a greedy businessman and being held hostage by a couple hapless gunman, Cooper’s world is turned upside down. His priorities shift to saving the lives of those he loves the most and he learns just how far his friends will go to help.
NUDITY WARNING
The role of Candelabra involves topless nudity. It’s not a sex scene – much closer to an 80s movie “naughty moment”. You can read through the relevant portions of the script here, but the short summary is that it’s a wardrobe malfunction where a nail sticking out on a doorframe tears open her top.
