MVP and Mutantville.com are proud to announce the addition of Charlotte-based actor Davis Osborne to the already
stellar cast of “G.H.O.S.T.” Davis joins Dave Tunik on the set this weekend. He will play the part of “Joshua” in the first of a series of new scenes introducing the eponymous ghost hunting team in “G.H.O.S.T.’
Davis has appeared in a multiplicity of productions in and around the Charlotte area – including “Pursuit”, “Tolerance”, and the award winning short film “Chekov’s Children” by director Robert Fillion.
Davis initially auditioned for “G.H.O.S.T.” at the casting call back in August of ’09 – but was unable to accept a role at the time due to schedule conflicts. Director J.T. McRoberts states, “I was very impressed with Davis’ auditions. Davis quite literally blew us away with his reading. I was always disappointed that we weren’t able to align our schedules to allow him to join us at the time. As soon as I started reading through the new scenes and thinking of the talent in the area – Davis’ name immediately sprung to mind. I reached out to him about participating and he graciously accepted.”
Davis’ philosophy on acting is proudly displayed on his website where he states, “every character . . . ever written, has an emotion to convey . . . to evoke in the silent bystander . . . the one in the shadows . . . the viewer. Pity. . .hate. . .fear. . .lust. . .love. . .concern. It is my job as the actor to search deep inside of me. . . . and find the parts of my human nature that I can use and magnify to deliver more than a performance. . .”

ABOMINATIONS
Screenplay by: Chad Law
Producer: Carolina Filmworks & Image Impact Group
Director: Robert W. Filion
Tagline: What is the Boogeyman afraid of?
Synopsis: After facing the gruesomeness of war in the Middle East, a weary and jaded Val Worthington returns home to his sister Alex. Despite much protest, Alex ropes Val into camping in the mountains for the weekend with her and her college friends. Instead of finding fun and adventure, the group stumbles upon something so ghastly it would give the Boogeyman nightmares.
Carolina Filmworks and Image Impact Group are currently seeking professional and experienced actors for a trailer for the upcoming Feature film ABOMINATIONS. The trailer will be used to secure funds for the project. While there are several roles available for the feature we are only casting three roles at this time. Please note that because this is an investor trailer, work is on a volunteer basis. However it is our hope that in casting the trailer we will also have our leads cast!
Only submit if you fit the breakdowns below. Anyone not fitting descriptions below will not be considered. Note: these are the three lead characters.
David Arkem: Male/30+/ 6’7”(will consider over 6’3”)/Massive but not overweight/Gruff voice/Sadistic/Grizzly/Intimidating…our Boogeyman. (Think Kane Hodder)
Alex Worthington: Female/22 Younger sister of Val. Caring and nurturing she worries about her brother’s state of mind post war. All American girl next-door type, unassuming but more than meets the eye.
Val Worthington: Male/25 War torn soul that returns home somewhat detached from the life he once loved. Loyal but cynical. Would prefer to be left alone.
The location for auditions is not yet set and will most likely be February 13th.
Please follow submission directions to be considered:
