“The Book of Judith,” a new short film, is casting two girls ages 10–16 to play its leading roles, Judith and Darcie. The film is about these two best friends who share a dark secret, and Judith must decide whether or not to risk it all to help Darcie. The film’s producer, Chris Cashman, says, the project “deals with the unintended consequences that (any kind of) raw belief can have on individuals and society when not guided by wisdom and benevolence. It is a compelling, emotion-driven story which should garner positive attention on the film festival circuit.” No and So Productions is holding auditions Jan. 9, 2016 in Los Angeles, Calif. The film shoots in San Diego, Calif., Feb. 12–15, 2016. Pay is to be determined. For more information on “The Book of Judith,” check out its full casting notice here.

Quick show of hands among Xbox 360 owners: Who remembers 1 vs. 100? For those who don’t, it was an adaptation of a popular game show back in 2009 for Xbox Live members of all ages to participate in, where live, pre-scheduled matches would involve a random player being picked as “The One”, 100 more random players being picked as “The Mob”, and everyone else being “The Crowd”.

From there, players would answer multiple-choice trivia questions, with The One having the opportunity to win Microsoft Points and The Mob having the opportunity to take those points for themselves if The One lost. Other features included real-time narration from host Chris Cashman and pre-recorded dialog from co-host Jen Taylor, best known to gamers as the voice of Princess Peach and Cortana.

Though 1 vs. 100 did very well, the company discontinued the program in 2010 and hasn’t really done anything like it since on their home consoles.

Think you're smarter than the average game show contestant? Microsoft's 1 vs. 100 game is your chance to prove it to everyone. It's also Microsoft's chance to prove that Xbox Live can captivate a mainstream audience with a game that is far different from a Halo death match.

Based on the short-lived NBC game show of the same name, 1 vs. 100 will have a 13-week season. The hour-long show will take place on Friday and Saturday nights, and is hosted by comedian and voice actor Chris Cashman. Each installment features a player, the One, who is trying to outsmart 100 players in the Mob by rapidly answering trivia questions with multiple choice answers. The longer the player survives, the more Microsoft Points he earns when he walks away: staring at 200 Points ($2.50) and ramping up to 10000 ($125) by defeating all 100 players in the Mob. But if the Mob defeats the One, then everyone in the Mob...
