It is a gothic horror movie in the style of the expressionist films of the 20's such as Nosferatu. It is set in 19th century. The central character is a professor of psychology and parapsychology. He has come from london to Edinburgh in order to study and disprove the existence of paranormal activity. He is told of a local legend involving a ruined 15th century chapel. They say that every time a person walks around the chapel whilst the church bells are ringing on a Sunday morning, you summon the devil himself. Intrigued he tries it out, only to conjure terrible phantoms from his past that he is desperate to forget.
The characters needed for this film are:
Friar Tuck
The Friar: Male, 25 + years old. The director is looking for someone with the right 'look'. A character face that could potentially look mad and terrifying.
This man rings a phantom bell inside the chapel in the hope that people will hear and come to worship once more. He is angry to see that the parish chooses to ignore this bell and as a result bitterness has decayed his mind.
The Girl: 15-21. A young lady who could pass for a 13-16 year old.
The girl is innocent but she has a seductive and sinister nature that leads the professor to commit great evil.
Academics (Several required): 17-25. Short hair. Preferred if without facial hair.
These are the bright young things of the scientific community. The professor meets with them in order to present to them the results of his research.

This Sunday I will audition for the role of Friar.... an order of the church considered lower in rank than a monk. Is it the age, or my spiritual believes that would make me a suitable candidate for this part? I don't know. At least I get a chance to scare the hell out of my audience ;o)
Speaking of which...
We have started the Freshers' Film project as part of the new membership program of the Edinburgh Movie Production Society (EMPS).
