Contacting Tim Rutherford - Head Psychologist

We work with Tim in the D&AD project last year, I was impressed with the role he played and was interested in working with him again. He looks similar to Des Barron a London based actor who applied for the part as the Head Psychologist, the only problem with this is paying actors to travel from London to Leeds and back will become incredibly expensive, especially as our budget is practically none existent. It makes sense to source local actors where possible especially when we know they are good for the part. I spoke to Tim earlier by phone informing of this part, he seemed rather interested, requesting further information regarding the part and the production. This is what I sent him via email;

Hi Tim

Thanks for your time and your interest in our production, like I was saying it is only a small part we are looking for and the production is a 2.30-3.00 minute short film in the style of a movie trailer so we really won't be needing you for that long. The only lines that we need you to read are;

"You and I both know not to take on board what every crackpot comes in here shouting and screaming about."

"That's enough, I don't want to hear another word on the matter, or I'll have you sectioned as well."

The characters profile is relatively simple, in a nutshell;

The part we would like you to play is a Senior Psychologist that is uncompromising when one of his colleagues suggests that the visions one of her patients is receiving from an alien race of humanoid beings is related to the strange turn of events that begin to unfold throughout the film.

Here's a basic treatment of the production idea;

A Psychological Sci-Fi Thriller in which a young man by the name of Jack Rodigan struggles to make sense of telepathic messages sent from a race of humanoid beings that claim to be the creators of mankind's higher level of consciousness. Initially Jack is seen by his psychologist as a nothing more than a young man suffering from a deluded reality. After a series of unforeseeable events materialise from Jack's mind, she begins to question her own sanity. World leaders unite military forces in attempts to destroy the apparent threat from the so-called creators. The Anunnaki are believed to have created mankind to extract minerals from the Earth to protect their dieing planet, the humanoid beings from the planet Nibiru seek to destroy mankind unless the debt of the all worlds gold is paid for the gift of civilisation. Originally the Anunnaki are seen to be the antagonists, however as it comes to light that the world is enslaved to a race of shapeshifting reptilians which seek to destroy all humanoid beings, it becomes clear that the Anunnaki are both our creators and our saviours. A thought provoking drama with low-key CGI, inspired by the outlandish ideas of David Icke's work, the story subliminally confronts many thoughts and questions raised by modern society.

If you could let us know if you interested in playing this part and if so when would be good for you to shoot it would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Haydn
