We've got so many real-life scenes that we're looking for fresh, new talent all the time in our Casting Call notices. Whether you're an up-and-coming rap star, R & B singer, pop/rock star that enjoy matching your lyrics to our scenes there's sure to be a scene your music is perfect for the world to hear.

So don't miss your chance to be in this docudrama and show the whole world your talent. Make people think; make them cry; make a crowd stand up and throw their hands in the air (and say I know that’s right); or just show them how hot you are! No matter what your specialty is, we just might want you in our film.

The film “God’s Crying” is an intervention and preventive tool created to address the high surge of violence, substance abuse and incarceration among predominately African American children and families across our nation. We have created this docudrama to empower and educate young people by showing the consequences of one’s actions. Many of the stories are similar to what you have heard in the news but with a twist, the characters bring to light different choices and alternatives that were available after the “wrong” choice was made.

9. Female/early teens/early 20/[High School Students] (Pharm Party gone bad)

Blair parents were always going on trips leaving her at home. Although they made sure she had all the necessities she could ever need including a credit card for emergencies Blair chalked it up that her parents just wanted her out their hair. So every weekend she would throw a party with her friend from school. First it was alcohol and beer with a few popping of pills then the urge grew greater. Now Blair & her friends call it the “Skittles Party”. She wanted all her friends to bring the prescription drugs to exchanged and randomly ingested, in order to become intoxicated. That was the new ultimate high. On Halloween, Blair invited 9 of her closes friends over to have fun. They were too old to go trick or treating so she encouraged everyone to raid their parent’s medicine cabinet and order from internet pharmacies prior to the party and bring the goodies. That night her and her friends filled a bowl with such drugs as Xanax, a strong tranquilizer and powerful pain killers like Vicodin and Oxycontin. Psychotropic drugs like Zoloft, Prozac, and Wellbutrin, with other powerful pain pills and tranquilizers the bowl was filled with over 1000 + pills which they all laugh about and called it their "trail mix". Once the bowl was filled each of them took a handful of pills and watch as the other one took theirs first. Blair was so high that she did not notice her best friend Rebecca shaking over in the corner. Everyone just laugh at the newbie of the party not paying much attention to the warning signs that Rebecca was not playing and having difficulty breathing. It wasn’t until Chuck went over to Rebecca to wake her did they realize their party went terribly wrong.
