In My Blood
Location: Lexington, KY (KY based, shooting locations TBA)
Type: TV Pilots
CASTING FOR IN MY BLOOD
Genre: Teen, Drama, Thriller
Logline: The Robert’s Family is far from perfect. A envious outsider wants to make sure everyone knows it. Meet the Roberts siblings; Courtney, the beautiful, but cruel cheerleader. Kacey, the cynical writer who feels like an outcast in his family. Paisley, the bland ballerina who is liked by everybody. Watch them navigate life as an anonymous stalker starts to reveal their secrets, and see their seemingly perfect image shatter.
We will be filming the pilot episode as a sort of proof of concept to earn more funding and support for the 8 episode series. If you get a role, and would like to reprise it for when we film again, please let us know. This is a personal project that me and my siblings have written and will be directing/producing/acting in. It would mean so much to have people invested in our projecting by fulfilling these roles.

I’m interested in playing the role of Will Summers. I’m 24 years old, but I still look 15-16- even with facial hair. I have experience in drama from high school, and I even attended film school for 3 months. From the drama club to film school, I’m accessible in front, and behind a camera. I’ve shot music videos, wrote screenplays, I’m a musical artist as well. I’d be a good fit for this role because like Will Summers, my parents divorced when I was young, and I’ve been the rebellious teenager trying to figure things out, and surprise-surprise, I’m a GAMER. If you’re looking for someone willing to commit to this role, that’s me. Contact me.
I am very interested in auditioning for a role. I’m a 43 year old father of two with experience. I live 20 from downtown Lexington Kentucky.
I would like to play as Will Summers if I could. I’m only 14 but I could pull off being a 15 year old. You can contact me if you would like!
