Current projects are a new Adam Carolla show for NBC and a new film scheduled for casting in April. Jason is also attaching talent to the upcoming feature film "Kent State", written and directed by Karen Slade. "Kent State" is the first motion picture to chronicle the campus tragedy of 1970 where four students were slain during anti-Vietnam protests. Brittany Snow is attached to play the role of "Beth," one of the student leaders of the protest movement. The film is scheduled to shoot in Baton Rouge later this year. There are lots of roles for local actors in this film! Recent projects are "The Pregnancy Pact" for Lifetime which was based on the true story of what happened in Massachusetts when 18 sophomore girls in one school got pregnant starring Nancy Travis and Thora Birch. This movie was shot in Atlanta where Jason was thrilled to cast several of the leads with Atlanta actors! Billik/Wood Casting also completed a 13 episode webseries created by and starring David Faustino (Bud Bundy of "Married... with Children") for Sony Digital.
