Job Description: This is a casting call for a short student film that I am making; working title: The Evil Supervillain Company. It is about a person who joins an obviously evil supervillain organization as an office worker, and gets her job by defying the classic supervillain tropes.

Note before applying: Because this film will be shot on Drexel University property, and in a Drexel University building, only current Drexel University students and staff may apply.

Shooting dates will be one of three possible weekends – either week 4, 5, or 6 of this term.

Here are the roles you can choose:

JULES (any gender/identity) is fresh out of college and needs a job. They have morals, but having a living wage is more important than that. Jules is genre-savvy in superhero movies and knows all the tropes of how they go wrong. They’re nervous for their first job, but they won’t let that show.

SECURITY GUARD (any gender/identity) is the security guard for the building. They work at the front desk and let Jules though to see the C.E.O.. This is a small part.

THE C.E.O. (male) is the big boss of Evil Supervillains, Inc. He’s obviously cartoonishly evil and doesn’t mind letting others know that, usually by showing them his literal license to be evil. He’s paranoid that superheroes will come and barge in, but still makes many of the classic mistakes supervillains do (e.g. monologuing their evil plans). His ultimate plan is to take over the world.

To apply, please email tjd337@drexel.edu with the subject line “Evil Supervillains Inc.”. I’ll get in touch with you from there. Any and all majors are encouraged to apply, and any experience level is welcome.
