ACTORS: Do you have what it takes to play Sam Bailey?

If you do, you could wind up with your own DVD feature on a theatrically released motion picture!

For those who haven't heard, Sam Bailey is an upcoming independent film about a six hundred year old man looking to erase the very last record of his existence. Through the friendship of a salt-of-the earth cabbie in Boston, he winds up reconnecting to the world instead.

On the one hand, our best "hook" for audiences is the mystery of Sam Bailey's arcane life. Who is this man - or woman, for that matter? Why has he lived so long, and how has he changed the world? On the other hand, it's the simple, human approach to this story that makes it funny, truthful, and special... and that's where you come in!

Over the last few months, internet speculation about the existence of Sam Bailey has been growing. Websites like www.whoissambailey.com have been generating theories about the nature of Sam's unusual longevity. Historical evidence has been unearthed. More than that, people are actually claiming to be Sam Bailey on social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

It's time for the REAL Sam Bailey to step forward.

If Sam Bailey saw the world waking up to the reality of his existence, what is it he would need to tell them? What would you say?

Put it on video. Make it a testimonial, a rebuttal to the mounting internet fuss, or even just a greeting to the people of the world! Put together a video message that really shows your stuff as an actor, and put it up on YouTube. Make the title of the video "I AM SAM BAILEY."

Then, e-mail a link to scoop@whoissambailey.com along with your name. Make sure to put I AM SAM BAILEY in the subject line.

As we put together the DVD package, we'll be selecting at least twelve of our favorite Sam Bailey monologues for inclusion as a special feature!

If this seems unorthodox, guess what! It is! As the team behind Sam Bailey, we have access to the production and distribution channels to put a fantastic film in theaters. What we need is an audience to meet us when we get there. One way to address that is to cast "name talent." That's the tried and true method. As an actor, you know it well.

Instead, we've opted to use this film as an opportunity for our own creative community.

To do that, we need to build a superstar audience from scratch. If you're willing to put yourself out there with a "Sam Bailey" that commands our interest, our imaginations, our funny bones and our hearts, we're willing to share that audience with you. Simple as that.

And remember - Sam could stand for Samantha too!

See you round, Sam Bailey!
