Auditions for GoFers 17 April 2010 ~ Celebration! Cinema North ~ Grand Rapids GoFers is about the misadventures of an unconventional delivery service. All the processes of putting a sitcom together are being done a traditional manner. The difference is that most of the crew members working on the show are still in college. There's a lot going on around this meeting table. A lot of development of the sitcom GoFers, a lot of promotion of the show, and a lot of learning. Most of the people working on the show are still in college. Denny Cuson, Center for Emerging Enterprises, is the creative mind behind the idea for the sitcom. It is based on his friend's delivery service. He oversees the students, and the pros make his idea into a reality. The show is also helping students get some real world experience in the process. GoFers promises to be as good as any show made in Los Angeles or New York, coming from students in Grand Rapids. The Center for Emerging Enterprises is the brainchild of entrepreneur Bob Israels. It is meant to bring together these college students and business people to work in real life scenarios. Many of the audtion spots were reserved by agencies and professionals. There were also a handful of walk-in actors and actresses giving everyone a chance. All actors needed was a resume, a headshots and some talent. The tryouts were to look for a core group of six. BILL BUTLER a 30-40 years old, caucasian male. Owner of GoFers delivery service, married to Trudy, Not a hunk but not bad looking. Endearing naive view of the world. Empathetic nature but slightly dependent from being brought up by maids and caretakers. TRUDY BUTLER is a 30-35 year old, attractive, Caucasian female. married to Bill, Hard-working, classy, self-assured and a tad manipulative. Highly skilled in fashion and sets trends. International Corporate Executive before quitting. She meets Bill and falls for his simple charm and the opportunity to hide in a small town with real, genuine people. CLAIRE VAN BUREN is in her 60's but looks younger than she is, Caucasian female. Somewhat of a prude, easily offended, and reacts harshly to anything crude/impolite. Worked her way up into a key position at GoFers. When the disorderly Bill took over the store, her world was thrown into chaos. Does everything she can to maintain "balance." Worked for Bill's father; knew Bill as a child and is a mother figure to him. CLARK CLIFFORD is a 20's, Asian male. Driver who doesn't speak English well. Always well-dressed in inexpensive clothing. He only feels truly confident when he is working on a computer related project. JUAN DE LA ROSA is 20-25 years old, Mexican American male. Narcissistic, brash, and unsophisticated. Dresses in what he thinks are cool clothes. He has a high school education but is driven by the thought that he will be Hollywood's next leading man. WINDSONG is 18-25 years old, African American female. Fashionable (hippie-chic) with ever-changing hair styles. Environmental/healthcare activist. Beat generation poet. She doesn't have a clear picture of where she is going or why that might be important. The TURKEY FARMER is crusty, older, obviously works hard and has had a hard life. In the scene he tries out for he appears extremely nervous as he is trying to palm off one of the turkeys, THE TURKINATOR to be included in the group of turkeys to be delivered to a charity petting zoo.
