GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- An open casting call for extras to play zombies in a May film shoot from Allied Production Studios will be held Saturday and Sunday, April 18-19 at the production company's studio at 422 Leonard Street NW.

The zombie extras are needed for the filming of "Sideshow," a five-part horror anthology written and directed by Roger Scholz, of Grand Rapids.

Casting call hours are 4-8 p.m. Saturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. The non-union, unpaid roles are for those ages 18 and up. A "zombie school" to help train actors will take place prior to the shoot in May. Those interested will find the studios at the rear entrance of the building on the third floor.
