Casting “Sedition” a 60+ episode web-series for Instagram’s new Reels platform.

Synopsis: Sedition reveals the story of a mysterious woman who inexplicably appears at a wide range of humanity’s earth-changing events– covering a span of many millennia.

Please note: This is a micro-budget production. It is experimental, in the sense that the “episodes” are being filmed exclusively for Instagram’s new Reels platform which has exploded in popularity over the past 2 months. We are hoping to attract new, fresh faces to the project– actors and actresses who are serious about their work and wanting to get their foot in the door. Those who live in, near, have easy access to, or who have a personal connection with the Greater Philadelphia region and Delaware Valley area will be given priority consideration.
