What we’re about
To be precise the Coffee Power Super Wigs
Seeking actors (see bottom of page). This will be a $0 budget and shot on iPhone YouTube series and basically for fun for now. Melbourne location of course.
Something like this
Will alternate between script reading meetups for next episode (at a cafe) AND meetups to shoot the footage for the series.
.
I imagine the meetups for the scenes will be all day affairs. I will shout coffees. Might Meetups on sporadic Saturdays. Due to other commitments will probably aim for one complete episode every three months.
FIRST MEETUP in June if I get the quota of people needed to discuss script.
Premise of the series
So basically, a deluded philosopher type I am calling Claude decides that society is literally a circus and that it ultimately must happen that everyone must become a circus character outwardly and do comical things (there is a whole philosophy behind it).
He does this by teaming up with a mad scientist called Professor Konkabean who creates "silly coffee" that when consumed makes one switch into a comical mode and do silly comical things that seems irreversible. They then work to distribute this across cafes and "begin the Circus" that will eventually be everywhere.
Meanwhile three friends Baz, Gaz and Raz are given each a bag of special rare coffee beans by the mysterious old man who owns the cafe they often visit and on consuming these later turn into the superheroes the Coffee Power Super Wigs who will protect Melbourne from growing crime instances. They will find themselves in direct opposition to the antics of Claude and professor Konkabean with a mission to intervene against silly coffee and the danger of all of Melbourne turning into one big circus.
ACTORS NEEDED for first episode (fun no pay for now)
2 x baristas (two different cafes)
1 person to play Claude (deluded philosopher intending to turn the world into a circus)
1 person to play Professor Konkabean
2 persons to play the superheroes (I aim to play the blue Wig hero because I have a blue wig).
1 person to play the mysterious sagely old owner of one cafe

a few extras for cafe scenes or who we have can double as extras
+1 x IPHONE camera operator
