Maine resident Shane Grant is a local filmmaker who is based right here in Maine. His film, 2017 “Sleep Eaters,” is not only set in Bangor, but most of it was filmed here too. It is available to stream, on the free service Tubi

He is also the guy responsible for the annual "Bangor Zombie Walk" held each October in Downtown Bangor.

We have had Shane in the building for an interview before, and he is a great guy, with a bit of a twisted, yet very creative mind when it comes to horror flicks. But it doesn't end there, because he is set to make another movie, and he is looking for you!

There is currently an open casting call for his next film, which is a horror/thriller, that will be produced right here in Bangor, and surrounding areas.

Got Hollywood dreams? If you’ve ever wanted a chance to be in a movie whether as a supporting role, a cameo, or just an extra in the background, this is your chance!

All ages & genders are welcome, so if you have been bit by the acting bug, contact the director at shanegrantphoto@gmail.com or contact Shane directly on his Facebook page

For those who do not want to be in front of the camera, but might want to help behind the scenes, by all means, reach out and submit your interest!

This particular film is slated to premiere at the Maine Underground Film Festival, a full day event that showcases bold, boundary-pushing films that reflect the grit, weirdness, and dark beauty of New England.

It all takes places on Saturday, April 25, from 12pm-9pm, at the Eveningstar Cinema in Brunswick.
