Look out Hollywood.

Aspiring child actors don't need to move to Los Angeles for a chance at fame any longer. All children need to become the star of Sandman Studios' rendition of Dennis Christen's latest book, "Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys," is a video camera and a little imagination.

"We're doing auditions on the Internet using YouTube," said Dennis Christen, who also wrote the screenplay for the movie. "Kids just record themselves talking and post it online."

Even the video camera isn't essential. According to Sandman Studios' Web site, hopefuls can record their audition, a short scene from the upcoming movie, on a cell phone camera.

The production company plans to choose 150 children between the ages of 5 and 10 to play in the video. One lucky girl — a Hispanic-American who looks about 8 years old — will get the role of leading lady Lundon O'Malley.

"I think every child should have access to great opportunities, no matter what their zip code," Christen said.
