CASTING CALL
West Virginia, 1975. As a decaying coal town unravels from economic collapse and political fearmongering, a jaded young hunter named Sofia sets out to track a mysterious creature blamed for a string of deaths in the town. But as the body count rises, she discovers the true horror may not be lurking in the Appalachian mountains… it may be within the town itself. Blending folk horror, political paranoia, and rugged Americana, The Devil Wears a Suit & Tie is a haunting tale of corruption, survival, and transformation in the shadow of a dying American dream.

This opportunity is non-union and unpaid
Do not invite death by the error of your life, or bring on destruction by the works of your hands; because God did not make death, and he does not delight in the death of the living.
