​Earthbound - Auditions Closed

​As a part of our Young Artists' Initiative, Media Context will work with its partners to create an animated pilot from one of our students' original ideas:
Picture

After being stranded in space, a team of intergalactic explorers must cross the universe to find their way home. 

Synopsis
​

In the 23rd century, a group of cadets are chosen to join a team of intergalactic explorers.

Their greatest dream turns into their worst nightmare when their spaceship is sucked into a wormhole. It damages their engines and distress signals, and strands them in the middle of space. 

Together with Mr. Zhang, their leader and mentor, the team must search a foreign galaxy for another vehicle that can transport them back to earth. ​

​Given that they are faced with hostile planets and unfriendly life forms, this task will be harder than they could imagine. 

Character List
​

Ramesh
Picture

​Gender: Male
Age: 16-20
Accent: Standard American
Ramesh, an aspiring doctor, joins his team as a Medical Specialist. Inquisitive and intelligent, Ramesh strives to learn more about the planets he encounters, without realising that his curiosity often lands him in danger.

​Lines:
​
  1. (Neutral) In my professional opinion, anyone on board could be contaminated.

  2. (Happy) This planet is amazing! The flora alone could open-up so many medicinal possibilities.

  3. (Sad) I miss home. Somewhere out there, on that lonely blue planet, my parents think I’m dead.

  4. (Angry) Dammit, man! I’m a doctor, not a physicist!

Naomi
Picture

Gender: Female
Age: 16-20
Accent: Standard American
Naomi, the daughter of an esteemed general, joins her team as its Head of Security. Although Naomi is a skilled fighter and strategist, she often feels outshone by her capable teammates, and is relatively insecure about meeting their expectations.

​Lines:
​
  1. (Sarcastic) We're lost in an uncharted galaxy with a damaged ship, a food supply that won’t last beyond the two-year mark, and a partridge in a pear tree.

  2. (Happy) All these new worlds with so much possibility! Lost or not, this is a once in a lifetime experience.
    ​
  3. (Sad) The last conversation I had with my dad was…less than pleasant. Things were said, there was a lot of shouting, and now I may never be able to take it all back.

  4. (Scared) Don't move! It’s in the room...

Daniel
Picture

Gender: Male
Age: 28-33
Accent: British accent is preferred, but optional
Daniel, who joins his team as a Pilot, is skilled at flying spacecrafts through unfamiliar territories. He might be strong and resourceful, but his impulse often encourages him to take dangerous risks, such as flying his teammates into a wormhole.

​Lines:
​
  1. (Neutral) I can fly anything! Gimme a tin can with wings, I’ll make her fly like an eagle.

  2. (Happy) Yee-haw! It’s not everyday you fly through an asteroid field!

  3. (Sad) It’s my fault we’re stuck out here. How can you guys even trust me to fly us home?
    ​
  4. (Angry) Gah, you stupid piece of junk! Just start already!

Anne-Marie
Picture

Gender: Female
Age: 28-33
Accent: British accent is preferred, but optional
Anne-Marie, who has previously embarked on multiple interplanetary missions, joins her team as an Engineer. Due to her impressive track record, her teammates regard her as their brigade's second-in-command. However, she may be blunt and cynical at times, which makes it relatively difficult for them to get along.

​Lines:
​
  1. (Neutral) In my professional opinion, we’re up a creek without a paddle.
    ​
  2. (Happy) Ha! Captain, this is engineering, I’ve got her purring like a kitten. Launch when you’re ready.
    ​
  3. (Sad) I promised my daughter I’d be home for her birthday. I didn’t think that meant her 87th.

  4. (Angry) I’ll only say this once. Touch my engine again, and you might have a problem with the oxygen supply in your quarters.​
