Brelby Productions is delighted to be developing 12 Days of Christmas (an original zoni-nominated script by Brian Maticic & Shelby Elise Maticic) into a new web series, 12 Days.
In order to safely film this project, our series cast will have to commit to becoming a “production pod.” What does this mean?
Primary cast & crew members will agree to strict social distancing guidelines to be followed from Sept 27-Oct 11 leading up to the week of filming.
Filming will be scheduled the week of Oct 12-18 for our primary cast, during which we will commit to quarantine with one another, only interacting with our production pod.
(For clarification or questions about our COVID-19 precautions, please email auditions@brelby.com.)
(We know that this is not realistic for all actors to follow, but it is the only safe way to tackle this project. In addition, due to the need for explicit trust with safety measures, we will only be considering individuals that have a pre-existing working relationship with Brelby.)
SYNOPSIS
Robert and Renee have been together for ages, 12 years to be precise… but something is keeping him from taking the next step. When Thanksgiving passes by and he still hasn’t popped the question, Renee takes her best friend, Ori’s advice and calls it quits. Determined to win her back by Christmas, Robert has 12 days to prove to Renee that their relationship is worth saving.
Casting Call:
The base stipend for the primary cast is $100. We are hoping to increase this with fundraising efforts.
