Casting Call for an Indie Minecraft Film: “A Minecraft Tale”
I’m on the lookout for voice actors, writers, and animators for my fan-made Minecraft film titled “A Minecraft Tale.” Just to clarify, this is a fully indie project. I’m reposting here since my previous post on r/Minecraft was removed for rule violations, and I self-removed my post from r/recruit as it didn’t quite fit there.
Yes, the main character is Steve, and the film will primarily be animated—just like many fans hope for in a Minecraft movie (though I’m open to live-action elements). The film will be mostly CGI, with a few live-action segments sprinkled in. I have a plethora of ideas and am eager to make this my passion project!
The movie will be released on YouTube for free in parts (potentially as chapters). It follows Steve and his Creeper sidekick (pretty typical, I know) as they try to thwart the Ender Dragon’s tyrannical conquest across the three dimensions (also standard fare). Expect a PG-13 rating, a unique original soundtrack (musicians welcome!), and plenty of lore and characters.
If you’re interested, please reach out to me on Discord at joshywubbyduck. I’m looking for talented voice actors and animators who can work in a style reminiscent of Minecraft Story Mode. If you’d like to see the script, I can share a link to a Google Doc (please note that Act I is still a work in progress).
Just a heads up: please don’t ask for the role of Steve, as that’s already been filled. I’d love to have you join this creative journey!
Edit: I also have a Discord server for the project. I would love to handle the animation myself, but my old Acer 15 Chromebook struggles with downloading Mine-imator or any animation software.
Another Edit: I should clarify that the theme of the movie will likely blend comedy and adventure, while also incorporating some darker elements and references.
Final Edit: Just to reiterate, this is a completely indie film!

That sounds like an exciting project, Joshy! I love that you’re combining CGI with a few live-action elements, and it’s great to see such dedication to creating your own lore and characters within the Minecraft universe. The premise of Steve and his Creeper sidekick taking on the Ender Dragon sounds like a fun adventure, and I think a mix of comedy with darker themes could really resonate with fans.
If anyone is interested in showcasing their voice acting or animation skills, I encourage you to reach out to Joshy on Discord. It’s always inspiring to see indie projects like this come together, and collaborating with passionate individuals can lead to something really special.
Best of luck with “A Minecraft Tale”! Do you have any specific scenes or characters in mind that you’re most excited about?
