Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, his producing partner Jeremy Chilnick, and their production company (Warrior Poets) are looking to cast their latest project, The Failure Club, a non-fiction series scheduled to begin filming this fall. Spurlock’s group is searching for New Yorkers who want to change their lives, with the ultimate goal of broadcasting the series across the Yahoo! Network video site.

The ideal candidates are adults over the age of 21 “with specific unfulfilled goals that they have always wanted to try, but never had the courage to attempt on their own.” Casting is currently underway, with auditions closing on September 24th. For more details, visit www.warriorpoetscasting.com.

What’s The Failure Club?

The Failure Club is about embracing the fear of failure in order to change your life. There are too many things we never try simply because we’re too afraid to fail. But what would you do if you could move beyond that fear? Meeting each week over the course of a year, seven different people will come together to form this unique “club” where they will encourage each other to achieve the things they’ve only dreamed of.

From the mother who always wanted to start a restaurant to the banker who always wanted to do stand-up comedy to the young athlete who never got his shot at the pros – together, each member of the failure club will try to make his/her dream come true. Some will succeed and some will fail, but the journey they take together will change them forever.”
