LONG VALLEY, NJ — A Long Valley filmmaker is seeking local talent to star in his new, upcoming web series.
“The Bully’s Club” is being produced by local filmmaker Antonio Sciortino of DreamScape Pictures, a Long Valley-based production company. Residents may know Sciortino from his indie films like “Mailbox,” “Little Dream,” and the upcoming horror film “Light Beyond The Tracks,” based on Long Valley’s Hookerman legend.
DreamScape Pictures is seeking six young actresses, ages 12 to 14, to star in the upcoming YouTube series. Applicants should be able to sing, dance, and act for the production.
“This new mini-series explores the complex reality of bullying, going beyond stereotypes to uncover the reasons behind why kids bully, and how pain often hides beneath the labels,” Sciortino said. “Through music, dance, and raw emotional storytelling, this series shows that transformation is possible—not only for those who are bullied, but for those who bully, too.”
Each of the six main characters of “The Bully’s Club” falls under the following labels: The Diva, The Loner, The Perfectionist, The Brainiac, The Fashionista, and The Rebel. When the six very different girls are subjected to after-school detention, they find courage, healing, and friendship through music and creativity.
“Our goal is not just to entertain but to spark conversations about bullying prevention, empathy, and second chances,” Sciortino said. “This series gives voice to the emotional challenges young people face today and demonstrates how art can heal and unite.”
The project is being directed by Anna Hill, with choreography by Shanna Heverly.
“Because every bully has a story,” the series’ tagline reads.
Those interested in auditioning should send a headshot, name, age, contact details, and any performance experience to [email protected]. Auditions will take place towards the end of September.
