Indie Horror Film "Amongst the Dead and Me" Casting Paid Actors in Nebraska and Iowa

Black Flame Entertainment is casting actors for the upcoming independent supernatural horror film Amongst the Dead and Me, scheduled to film in Omaha, Nebraska, and Council Bluffs, Iowa, in September 2027.

Produced by Steve Livengood, the film draws inspiration from German folklore and the terrifying legend of the Alp, a supernatural nightmare spirit associated with sleep paralysis and nighttime terror.

The story follows Jeannie LaVey, a goth hairstylist whose life spirals into darkness as she experiences increasingly disturbing night terrors. As an ancient evil begins feeding on her fears, Jeannie and those closest to her must confront a supernatural threat beyond their understanding.

The production is seeking performers of all ethnicities for several paid, non-union roles.
