COPTIC SCROLLS is an indy film currently casting in Kansas City:

Stinson McClendon, a local filmmaker, is holding auditions this weekend for his feature-length murder mystery, “Coptic Scrolls.”

McClendon, producer and director for Baby E Films, will hold the auditions from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and from 1:30 to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Southeast Community Center in Swope Park, 4201 E. 63rd St.

“Coptic Scrolls” will be controversial. The film questions the ethnicity of Jesus Christ and will examine how the revelation of Jesus’ background could stir the foundation of Christianity.

McClendon said: “My intention is not to give a history lesson. I’m a filmmaker, and my main objective is to tell an exciting and moving story.”

Sounds like fun, although the part about not giving a history lesson is ominous. In any case, I hope someone has told him that this sort of thing has been done before.
