Authors looking to fill 100-plus parts in nationwide book-to-movie contest

The authors of "The Secret of MeadowBrook Orphanage" are turning their novel into a movie and promising a ticket to stardom for at least 100 "everyday people."

DC Johnson and Ron Rowan have created the contest, called "The Golden Movie Ticket Dream," to fill 100-plus parts in the film. They're looking for "people in America who would like to take part in the creation of the first animated movie using the country's undiscovered talent."

The contest is open to any person of any age from any state. U.S. residents can audition online for a specific part or try out for as many parts as they'd like. There is no experience, agent or fee required to audition.

"If a person can sing, dance, do voice-overs, draw landscapes or characters, write scenes, compose songs and/or narrate, they can audition for the movie," said Rowan.

Fifty of the roles will be awarded to one person in every state. Another winner will get to perform the theme song with a former "American Idol" contestant, who has volunteered to sing in the movie.

The contest's website describes the inspiration for the contest, rules, audition steps, tour map and fan page.

"Everybody who wants to be involved with the movies deserves the chance to fulfill their dream," Johnson said.

Contest winners will be awarded their respective state's Golden Movie Ticket and play a part in the movie. They will be listed in the movie's credits and mentioned in the authors' final book highlighting the contest.
