Description:
Director: Chris Lafosse. A 1 minuet short war film, shot in a News/documentary style. To be shot in Greenwich, early/mid October.
4 actors are needed to be soldiers in a present day war zone.
-1 platoon commander
-1 Corporal
-2 Soldiers
The viewer is thrown into a war zone, with the news camera being turned on. 2 section of a battalion attempt to assault a complex, but an air strike called in, lands short, on the troops.
This is low budget, using a lot of CGI. We will not be using blank firing weapons. There will be the use of blue screening on set to produce larger scale warfare.
As part of this, you will be given military training. Myself and an assistant on set, have a background with the Army.
There will be a complete breakdown of what sets apart, professional looking soldiers from ’Hollywood’ looking soldiers.
It will be a 6:00am start. This will be an extremely tough day, both physically and mentally.
Food will be provided.
Travel expenses will not be paid.
I need Actors who are reliable. If you say you will be there at 0600hrs, then you will be there 5 minuets before.
There will be a very rigid rank structure on set. I tell you to do something and you do it, as quickly as possible.

Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Platoon Commander | Male | Any Ethnicity | Any Age | Platoon commander (staff sgt) the platoon commander is he leader, passing orders down to the corporal. he must be better, stronger, and more confident than all his men. he must use his voice in a loud dominant manor, with confidence. it doesnt matter what decision you make, just make the decision quickly, with confidence. in short, somone with an air of dominance, yet calm and collected. |
| Section Commander | Male | Any Ethnicity | Any Age | Section commander (Corporal) the section commander takes orders from the platoon commander. then leading the men on what ever the commander decided. but in comparison to the commander, the corporal has a much more gritty approach to leadership. the corporal will be bellowing orders into his mens ears, ordering induviduals. he is the driving force behind the section. |
| Soldier | 0 | Any Ethnicity | Any Age | Soldier (Private) a private in the British army (aka squaddie). somone dedicated and proud, who carries out orders with speed and efficiency, without hesitation. the British army prides itself as one of the most professional armies in the world. |
| Soldier/Medic | Female | Any Ethnicity | Any Age | Soldier/medic (Lance Cpl) I say soldier before medic, because everyone in the British army is a soldier first. there are a few female soldiers on the front line, and many of them are Medics. like the soldier, you need to be professional and efficient in all your actions. not afriad to get your hands dirty. also important is a confident voice, all females have the ability to shout as loud as the man next to them, its all about confidence. |
