about the project
Casting speaking English actors (all accents welcome) for the movie REBELDOGS, starring KOL-talking dogs with coin value.
This is the next generation in cinema and crypto by being the first movie tied to a coin featuring A-list actors and real KOL-talking dogs creating long term coin value. Each movie dog represents a meme coin, blending the viral power of meme coins with mainstream entertainment. Through hilarious voiceovers and a unique movie, we're writing history and creating coin value in a whole new way. Monthly we will launch our 5 dog coins by building a world wide community prior to the movie premiere in 2025.
The film blends humor, romance, and the whimsical chaos of modern entrepreneurship in a vibrant, globe-trotting adventure. We want to cast upcoming “out of the box” talent with a good sense of humor, preferably from different nationalities and with funny English accent.
Synopsis: "Rebel Dogs" is a comedic adventure following Dirk, a Dutch real estate entrepreneur navigating the ups and downs of his personal and professional life. Living in Los Angeles, he’s about to close a lucrative deal on a trailer park in Fresno, but his gold-digging wife, Ann, threatens to derail everything with a divorce. As Dirk grapples with his failing marriage, he reconnects with his brother, who has moved to Ibiza, and seeks advice from old business partners. Dirk’s journey takes unexpected turns as he encounters quirky characters, including a struggling artist and her NFT project featuring meme coins. Despite challenges, including pesky squatters in his new property and his tumultuous relationship with Ann, Dirk finds new connections. He becomes intrigued by the world of meme coins through Melanie, a younger woman who embodies the free-spirited life he once dreamed of. As Dirk navigates relationships, financial struggles, and his evolving career in real estate, he eventually embraces a new venture—sailing on his yacht with Melanie, celebrating newfound freedom and the excitement of a life filled with unexpected possibilities.
Shooting starts at the end of January 2025 and will be mostly in our studio in The Hague.
Paid work (low-budget). The movie is fully funded by founder, Dirk Oerlemans, being inspired by his beloved dog Rebel and embracing the crypto movement.
