This project is an attempt to adapt the first part of the Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novel trilogy "The Promise" into a comic drama. My plan is for it to span 3 episodes, about 10 minutes each. It is, of course, a not-for-profit project.

This is my first time on this side of production, so I am open to any assistance and advice offered (but I am not actively recruiting non-VA staff at the moment). Depending on my feelings after the project's completion, I would love to go ahead and adapt more of the ATLA graphic novels and potentially other comic/manga series.

About the graphic novel:
The Promise - Part 1 is the first installment in The Promise trilogy. The trilogy picks up where the Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon storyline left off.

Overview: [pasted from the Avatar wikia] A year after the Hundred Year War's conclusion, Aang and Zuko are working in collaboration with Earth King Kuei to remove the Fire Nation colonies from Earth Kingdom shores in the Harmony Restoration Movement. Worried that he would one day become like his father, Zuko forced Aang to make a life-changing promise to him soon after the War ended. When Zuko attempts to go against the wishes of Aang and Kuei by allowing one unusually well-integrated Fire Nation colony to remain in the Earth Kingdom, which also leads Zuko to believe that all the colonies should stay, the promise Aang made is put to the test as he attempts to keep balance between the Four Nations.

Story: Gene Yang, Micheal Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko
Art: Gurihiru
Lettering: Micael Heisler, Comicraft
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics

Casting notes:
I am not really looking for spot on impressions since this story takes place about a year after the events of the original cartoon series. The main characters are teens and children so it's understandable for them to sound a little different. There are also quite a few characters original to the comic, so y'all have some liberty for interpretation there as well.

Some characters that are listed as minor roles here become more prominent as the graphic novels go on. So, should I decide to continue the project past Part 1, you have the chance for an expanded role.

For the most part, I am looking for decent audio and ability to be creative should the opportunity arise. Good luck, have fun!

UPDATE: If you see me shout out your audition, that means that I have listened to it. Also, I will try and do critiques but only if you request it. The only auditions I will do no critiques for are for Toph.

UPDATE: [12 July 2013] Once again, I am behind on listening to auditions and giving critiques. Since I don't seem to have time to actually do any casting right now, I will be pushing the deadline to another month. My summer courses will have ended by then so I will have a little more free time to dedicate to this part of the project. There's also the fact that I totally forgot about needing an Uncle Iroh...

Casting seems to be the only thing I'm behind on with this thing, though, so that's good. After the parts get casted and lines start coming in, everything will be on track.

I -REALLY- appreciate all of the auditions and I'm sorry to disappoint or inconvenience anybody with this news. You're all totally bitchin.

UPDATE: [17 January 2015] tl;dr: Cancelled.

First and most importantly, thank you to everyone that participated and contributed. I am sorry to let you down.

Due to unexpected situations in my life (like suddenly moving from one state to another), I kept putting off deadlines I set for myself so that I could complete AT LEAST one episode. It eventually got to the point where I thought it would be best to just put the whole thing on hiatus. Recently, I have come to realize that I may never again reach a point in my life where I have the time work on it. And even if I do, I have lost the will and energy to dedicate to it at this point. So, it would probably be best to consider the whole thing dead.

I'm hanging onto the work I have done so far and if I ever get around to completing a scene, I'll be sure to post it.
