Synthetic Cinema Gears Up for Horror

Rocky Hill-based movie production company Synthetic Cinema is producing three horror movies this year, and holding an open casting call on Sunday, March 17, in Hartford for actors to play small roles and extras in the movies.

The call will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Hartford's TheaterWorks, 233 Pearl St. It will be first come, first served. Auditioners are expected to prepare a two- to three-minute monologue or performance piece.

Andrew Gernhard, who owns Synthetic and produces all its films, said that unlike the company's previous films, these three will be released theatrically in limited releases, all in 2014. Synthetic's previous efforts have gone either straight to TV, then DVD, or straight to DVD.
