Description:

'Miracle Grow' is the debut feature film to be directed by Emma Kinni, an MA Directing student at the Bournemouth University. Filming will take place early May and go on for approximately one month (however, most character will not be needed for more than a few days within that month).

Emma is looking to cast a high number of actors, for roles including the main protagonist Sofia, among others (most of the characters are in their twenties, others include 30-something mother and father for Sofia, as well as 3 children to play Sofia and her siblings as children).

Actors will be unpaid apart from travel expenses that will be covered, unless the film makes a profit. Synopsis below. Contact Emma at emmakinni@hotmail.com if you're interested- she will send you details of Audition in Bournemouth to take place in early February. Please note that you will need to pay your own travel expenses to cover the audition.


The unchronological Miracle Grow tells the story of twenty-something Sofia who befriends a group of people through which she becomes involved in multiple illegal drug abuse. The film deals with a lot of issues such as death, national identity, drug/alcohol culture, malfunctional families and relationships, among others. Despite the extremely heavy content of the film, it is told in a style that is entertaining, lighthearted and at times extremely funny- it is a black comedy. Elements of animation are integrated into real action throughout the film.
