Project Main Details
The film follows a caveman character as he tries to gather information to make an informed decision. He travels through time, seeing the many technologies that have helped us communicate, but in the end realizes that it is people who make communication and the sharing of ideas possible.
DESCRIPTION: We are looking for a narrator who will play the straight everyman guy, but will be able to flip character quickly and handle intonations and jokes.
GENDER/AGE: We imagine a male narrator in his thirties, but welcome female voices too. The language is English and the dialect American.
RECORDING: Send DAT, cd or electronic file (wav, mp3). Must be recorded cleanly, professionally.
BUDGET: Around $300
UNION: Prefer non-union.

Script Details
NARRATOR:
Ever since the dawn of time, people have had to make some very important decisions that affected their lives and communities.
And so they headed straight to the marketplace.
No, not that marketplace.
This one — the marketplace of ideas.
Here, instead of buying food, we shopped for information. We listened to people talk and debate, argue different points of view, before making an informed choice that was right for us.
Now, sadly, not everyone liked us making our own decisions.
And they did everything they could to keep us in the dark.
But thankfully, people like my friend here were determined to think for themselves.
Well, somewhat determined.
And over the centuries, new technologies were invented that kept the marketplace going.
Like the printing press which allowed us to share valuable information with anyone who could read.
Newspapers that reached even more people.
The telegraph which zipped ideas across entire continents in a matter of seconds.
And pretty soon ideas were flying back and forth around the world.
Revolutions were debated.
Compromises were hammered out.
(Movietone voice) “And with the advent of movies and television, the marketplace was really humming”
Then, when computers and the Internet came along, suddenly millions of people could share ideas with just about anyone they wanted.
