What is the Production About?
Ardent Productions officially announces a pilot ‘series’ tentatively titled ‘Aim High’. The initial project will include a  four episode run, each ranging from forty to sixty minutes in length. In addition to the DVD, the series will be featured prominently on the World Wide Web and Google Video.

The premise is that four individuals (two women and two males) operate a Psychiatry Practice. Each character has that special ability to help others in their own unique way. Unfortunately, the practice is soon smeared by scandal and the theme of mortality also weighs heavily on the characters. This series, a "dramedy," features intense emotional scenes combined with quirky comedy. This project will be considered a PG-13 type series, one that an individual could find on HBO. This series is created by Anthony Joy, Dave Thomas, and John Dolan, who also brought you ‘Attrition’ and ‘A Soldier’s Winnings’.


Details for Cast and Crew
All cast and crew will have payment deferred contracts, but copy, credit, and meals are provided. Filming is to take place in Cleveland, Ohio and surrounding suburbs. Some portions of the project may be filmed in Chicago and transportation will be provided in the event that occurs.  The filming of episodes one and two are to take place in the Summer of 2006, with episodes three and four to take place in Late 2006 and early 2007. All filming will be done on Saturday and Sunday, with the possibility of some Friday night shoots.


Auditions
All cast positions are currently open - both lead and supporting cast. We are looking to fill these positions with talent from Northern Ohio. When individuals arrive to audition, they can specify the part(s) they are looking for, but they may be cast in other lead roles or supporting cast.

Auditions Steps:

  1. When you arrive you will sign in and fill out an Ardent Productions audition form. The form can also be found below so you can print and bring it in to the audition place. If you wish to submit early or cannot attend, please send your headshot and resume to info@ardentonline.com
     

    The following are some tips from North Central Casting regarding auditions:

      • Arrive thirty minutes prior to the audition time. This will allow ample time to check in, warm up and check out your competition. However, depending on your availability you may show up during any of the audition hours.
      • Bring at least 2 photos and resumes. Photos should reflect your current physical likeness. (continually update your photos and resume so you are always current)
      • Prepare a dramatic and comical monologue no more than 2 minutes in length. If you do not have a dramatic or comical monologue, please find one below you can memorize and bring in.
         

     

  2. You will then wait for your scheduled time and be sent into the audition room. You will then recite your monologue or recite the one Ardent has provided you. They may ask you several questions or may ask you to recite lines from an additional page or script.
