Description:
Casting call for actors and crew!
My name is Justin and I'm currently a film student looking to create my first live action interpretation based in the universe of a popular video game franchise set within the 18th century.
Participation in this project would be voluntary and would require those involved to travel to a number of different locations as a team in and around Austin. Definitive on location shooting is TBA but would ideally take place between the hours of 11:00am and 3:30pm on Friday, Saturday and the occasional Thursday. Production is expected to last three weekends beginning in March.
Currently I am looking for:
• Lead Actor
• Supporting Actor
• Supporting Actress
For acting positions please provide any sort of headshot as well as include full body picture, resume, reel or other related acting work.
If you are interested in volunteering and working with a team of aspiring movie enthusiasts as a stagehand for the project, please see the positions below. Please list your name, the position you'd like to inquire about, and or any other questions that I will do my best to answer.
Other open positions:
• Props
• DSLR Camera [glidecam] Operator
• Editing Consultant (Final Cut Pro X)
• Script Consultant (Final Draft)
• Assistant Scene Director
IMPORTANT: Due to the nature of the production being approached from a silent film perspective, there is an emphasis on body [acting] communication. Costumes are already fitted with the characters from the story in mind. For inquiries about the lead and supporting acting positions, height and weight are delicate aspects that are unable to be worked around. Men can be between the heights of 5'7 -- 5'10; weight approximately ~150lbs. Women can be between heights 5'2 -- 5'5. Only those that fit the designed costumes as well as fit the role of the character will be chosen, but all applicants will be considered.
NOTE: Please do not be discouraged or dissuaded from contacting me if you feel you do not meet the above qualifications. The short movie, while a serious project, is among friends who are fun, passionate people that enjoy being creative. Everyone is encouraged to apply!
