We are looking to fully cast our web series titled A Finger Slip. We still need several main roles and many supporting roles.
About the project:
A Finger Slip is a web-based series based on Sherlock Holmes, set when the characters are in their late teens. The story follows two college students when John Watson accidentally sends a text message to the wrong number, which turns out to be Sherlock Holmes’s number. The two build an unlikely friendship via messages and phone calls, helping each other through some tough times. But is there more to their friendship than meets the eye?
And will Sherlock and John ever meet in person?
Set in London, England. All characters must speak with a believable British accent.

Compensation:As our web series has been funded, but has a very small budget, we’re offering travel compensation and craft services to our cast and crew. We are accepting auditions across the state of Michigan and actors will be compensated for their journeys. Unfortunately we are unable to pay more than that at this time. All positions on this set are volunteer.
Contact: My email is naojao@live.com and my phone is 1(231)735-0274 – Available for calls or texts.
These are the available roles for Season 1. Additional roles will be available in Season 2.
