For all the friends of the JBT family:

The final open casting call for "Descent" will be Sunday, July 12th at 2pm at The Cornerstone Mansion.

Please let me know if you can make it, or if you have any questions.

If you have already auditioned, I will be in contact with you soon about the final casting.

Also, the more likes, comments, and re-posts we get, the more people will see this on their own wall. Thanks for helping to spread the word!

We're at it again. We're shooting a pilot late summer - the working title is DESCENT!
Why? Because it's a reflection; a foreshadowing, if you will, of what happens thematically and to the characters as the story, overtime, unfolds.

That given the right set of circumstances, we all can potentially descend into dark places; into behaviors that we would not ever have imagined ourselves doing. DESCENT will ultimately ask a very poignant question: How much evil can one do in the name of good before becoming EVIL?

Auditions – OPEN CASTING CALL

To be clear, "Descent!" is not a JBT project. Rather, it is a pilot that involves many of the "JBT family". Any involvement that you would like to donate would be greatly appreciated!

Descent! There will be a pilot being shot in Omaha around the end of August. It's a reflection; a foreshadowing, if you will, of what happens thematically and to the characters as the story, overtime, unfolds.

That given the right set of circumstances, we all can potentially descend into dark places; into behaviors that we would not ever have imagined ourselves doing. DESCENT will ultimately ask a very poignant question: How much evil can one do in the name of good before becoming EVIL?
