Casting Call for Zombie Movie 'Shadow'

"We are looking for very thin, tall, emaciated people to be cast as zombies for the film, to be shot in NE Philadelphia late September through mid-October. We stress that you must be thin (really thin). If you are interested, please respond via e-mail to underfett@hotmail.com. Please title the subject as ‘Philadelphia ZOMBIE Casting.’

"Any person to be considered for this project must be able to self-report to set. We will not provide transportation. We will need a few things from you if you are to be considered:

1. Height, weight and gender
2. Photos of yourself. Please send us photos of your face (front and side view) and body. If you are a male and are willing to do a a body shot without a shirt (not for perverse reasons), that will help tremendously. The look we are going for is similar to that of the African-American zombie in the remake of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD or the experiment zombie from RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD.
3. Are you allergic to latex? The prosthetics we are using are foam latex, so if you are allergic to latex it’s probably not a good idea to be wearing foam prosthetics. If you do not know if you are, take a latex rubber glove and wear it for a few minutes. If you begin to itch or develop a rash, you are allergic.
4. Can you self-report to set?
5. Do you wear prescription contacts? Can you wear non-prescription contacts?
6. How flexible is your schedule? We will be working days and nights throughout this project so we are looking for people with flexible schedules.
7. Waist size, shirt size, shoe size
8. Contact information such as home and cell phone numbers as well as e-mail addresses

"It is important to answer all these questions since it will help us tremendously in the casting process. We are essentially looking for male zombies, but women can also double for men for either mask wearing zombies or background (makeup) zombies. Please respond as soon as possible since we are looking to have these parts cast immediately."

This is a great opportunity for those who have always wanted to be a zombie extra.  If I was 1000 miles closer to Philly I would be the first to sign up...of course, I'd have to shed an extra 30 or so pounds!
