This will be a low/no budget movie.

Auditions will be held in Lansing, most likely on a Friday at the end of June (22 or 29). If you cannot attend, a video audition can be used.

Plot:

Available Roles:
- Ryan Turner: Easy-going guy. Doesn’t necessarily believe in ghosts, but is open minded.

Normally pretty well mannered, but when intense conflict arises, he’s not afraid to stand up for himself.
- William (Bill) Kane: Usually arrogant and has little sense of humor. He doesn’t smile much, is usually serious, and has acts like a bad ass. He does not believe in ghosts and is very closed minded. He is a great hunter. He says what’s on his mind, straight and to the point. He is easily annoyed with Nick’s antics.
- Nickolas Murphy: Likes to joke around and has a great sense of humor. A little immature for his age and believes in the paranormal.

- Craig Stevens: He tries to be the authority figure as he directs the other hunters, but naturally has a passive personality. He does not come off as bossy. He acts as a mediator and voice of reason to diffuse conflict. He pretends to be brave, but when he encounters a ghost, he is more afraid than everyone.
