21st Century Jane Austen Heroines on YouTube
Hey, long time no see! Just popping in to say if you’re still into aesthetic queer literary rom coms, season two of @rationalseries is airing now! It’s inspired by Persuasion and the creators were all writers on Twincidents. Check it out here!
some literary inspired web series starring POC!
Hello everyone! Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are in need of actors for the following roles. Trans and BIPOC actors are encouraged to audition.
ANYA (she/her) is a bio major and a dance minor in her third year of college. She is also — at least in her own mind — the goddess of love. She loves fashion, pop music, romcoms, and failing to respect her friends’ boundaries. Gemini, pansexual, thinks it should still be acceptable to identify as a Slytherin.
PARIS (he/him) is a deeply repressed theatre major in his third year of college. He overcompensates for his insecurities with a performance of masculinity that might make people uncomfortable if they took him more seriously. He’s been in a long-distance relationship for the past year, but it’s not right for either of them and he doesn’t quite know what to do about that. ESFP, might call himself “metrosexual,” is NOT a himbo.
NESTOR (any gender, any pronouns) is a philosophy grad student who, due to the current pandemic, still mostly hangs out with their younger friends from undergrad. They go by their last name. They give good advice (that isn’t always heeded), and they could be considered the mom friend.
All episodes will be filmed remotely starting in January 2021. If you’re interested in auditioning, email us at antiquitysongs@gmail.com with the role(s) you’d like to audition for, and we will send you the audition materials.
