Unconditional Love is a Christian miniseries composed of six 30 minute
episodes in where each episode will have a different character lead,
co-stars, support, etc.
We are looking for a variety of looks ages 5-60. All minors must be
accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times during production.
This is voluntary work and the only compensation provided is film
credit/copy, credit on IMdB.com and CFDb.com per episode worked on. We
are looking for talent from Texas so that the traveling expense won’t be
that much for our talent, but everyone is welcomed to apply and will be
given the same amount of consideration, just keep in mind that you will
be traveling and lodging at your own expense. This is a great
opportunity to expand your resume and demo reel.
Once completed, the series will be entered into several Christian film
festivals, and will be available on DVD, VOD, and when the time comes on
tv as well.
If you speak more than one language please let us know. Being a
Christian is a plus being that this will help the actor to understand
and better portray the character.
