JD Film is holding an open casting call Sat., Feb. 11 at 4:00 pm at The Tech Garden (235 Harrison St, Syracuse) for an upcoming feature length action film titled BLINK.

Being shot exclusively in Syracuse by filmmaker James Domroe, BLINK is a non-stop action film combining heart-pumping adventure and genre-bending action. "We will be exploring everything from classic western to film noir and martial arts styles, all in one film—I call it genre jumping," says Director James Domroe.

You can preview the trailer at the following link: www.vimeo.com/35662927.

Domroe has shot over 80 music videos in Syracuse, won the opportunity to work with "The Situation" from MTV's Jersey Shore on Yobi.TV, and had his work featured as an official selection of the Cape Fear Independent Film Network, as well as being shown on Italian National Television. James has also worked on "One Tree Hill," a series on the CW Network. He teaches filmmaking and editing courses at ITT Technical Institute and operates JD Films out of The Tech Garden in Syracuse.

This is his first feature length film. "I’m excited to be shooting this film exclusively in Syracuse—there's beautiful architecture, an abundance of talent, and being from Central New York, it's important to me to highlight our region creatively." The scenes will be shot throughout the Syracuse area, with locations being finalized soon.

BLINK follows one man's journey of discovery as he seeks answers in the death of his wife. A local premier is slated for summer 2012, with plans to be shown in the independent film festival circuit.

Filming has begun on principal scenes, with full production beginning in late February and running through March 2012.

Actors and actresses interested in auditioning should bring a headshot and resume to The Tech Garden, 235 Harrison St, Syracuse, on Sat., Feb. 11, at 4:00 pm.
