Actors can apply for a role by uploading a twenty second video audition to Clapit, showcasing their acting talent in accordance with the character breakdowns posted on the app. The most clapped audition videos, ranked by the Clapit community, will be showcased on Clapit's "Best" feed. Barsuglia will select one male winner from the top five most clapped male auditions and one female winner from the top five most clapped female auditions – a democratic crowd-sourced voting system to provide two actors with their first big breaks.

Entrants download Clapit for free from the iTunes App Store, shoot and upload their videos, hashtag their entries #brianbarsuglia, and then spread the word by asking friends to download Clapit and "clap" (vote) for them. All entries are subject to eligibility requirements and the official contest rule. The open call wraps on November 5,2017 at 11:59 P.M. EST.

"Clapit is an innovative new casting tool for film and television, and it's an honor to work with their up-and-coming actors that have so much talent," said Barsuglia. "By teaming with Clapit, we are able to expand our search for the best of the best, and with such ease."

​"We are thrilled to partner with Brian Barsuglia," said Clapit CEO and co-founder Mary Jane Bulseco. It is so hard for aspiring actors to be cast in a speaking role, especially in a feature film like "Impact Event."  We are thankful that Brian has partnered with us so we can provide this opportunity to cast two unknown actors straight into roles in Brian's film."
