DISTURBO

Plot outline:

"The shadows of all forms that think
and live/Till death unite them and
they part no more..." -- Act I,
PROMETHEUS UNBOUND by Percy Bysshe
Shelley

When a person dies, some form of evil,
often malevolent spirit, inhabits his
soul immediately.

One night, just before Good Friday, on
a dark, lonely road, a young man
driving on his way home is
relentlessly followed by a strange car
with annoying headlights.

In a seedy motel somewhere in the
heart of Cebu City, two lovers decide
not to come again after someone
unceremoniously disturbs their usual
private moments.

In a sleepy subdivision, a grandson
prods his sick lola for a quick piano
lesson until both of them realises
something has gone terribly eerie.

Imagine yourself in these scenarios:
three edge-of-the-seat horror stories
connecting to one sinister and
shocking climax.


ACTING ABILITY IS PREFERRED, AMERICAN
ACCENT A MUST! Please bring a 5x7
photo (recent colored headshot) and a
one-page personal biography during the
auditions/casting call.
