Student produced full--length film, “SAM (on everything)” will continue casting on April 5 and 7 from 6--10 p.m. in Room 365 of the College of Media & Communication at Texas Tech University.

- Early 30s male who thinks he understands business, but is actually ignorant and arrogant
- 25--32 year old female who is successful and has her life together
- 25--32 year old male known for stoner and rock and roll lifestyle that he does not plan on changing
