In the short film Newborn, two apartment building security guards are forced to battle an infant monster born from the infected corpse of a building tenant. Enraged by the use of electronic equipment, the monster locates and horrifically kills anyone doing so in close proximity. In the heat of a long summer night, the security guards must revert to a primal state in order to try and deal with the creature. Will they get through their shift alive, or are they – and perhaps the whole human race – doomed?

We will be holding auditions on May 25th at Bournemouth University. Please contact us with your portfolio to schedule a reading.

Ed O'Bannon

Middle-aged security guard Ed O’Bannon is a man who gave up on the idea of ever doing much with his life many years ago. Other guards have come and gone, but Ed has remained behind the lobby desk of the Howard-Philips Apartment Building for a very long time. Mistrustful of the world and of progress in general, he enjoys the slight position of authority that his longevity has granted him. He takes great pleasure in using it to dominate whoever is serving with him on any given shift.

Billy West

Billy West is the product of an entirely worn-out society and culture. A poor education and an obsession with the pervading unreality of technology and social media have left him dulled and rudderless. There is, perhaps, a spark of something in his occasional bouts of rebelliousness and contention. Billy is not entirely lost to apathy just yet, but with a mentor like Ed, it may not be long until he is lost in an entirely different sense.
