Description:

"tucht... a damn-near-true story" is a feature-film (psychological-thriller/dark-comedy) to be submitted to the national/international film-festivals circuit; it is NOT a musical, but the female-lead's singing voice plays a profound role in the storyline.

Auditions/Callbacks will consist of sides from the script, plus your original rendition of Mahalia Jackson's 'Trouble of the World'; initial interviews/auditions will be scheduled beginning SEPTEMBER ('10); shooting (principal photography) begins Spring 2011.

Submissions (e-mail PIC/RES to asaopellc@aol.com) are being accepted ASAP thru DECEMBER ('10); both Non-Union/Union; you may include video links (youtube, etc) of anything you may want us to view; for hardcopy submissions, see details below...

[PHILOMENA] Female Lead - African-American, 25-35, 'Plus-Sized', w/Soulful BELTING Singing Voice. The role requires extreme emotional range, and also comedic-flair; the character is 'plus-sized' (think Queen Latifah, Mo'Nique, Nikki Blonsky, Jennifer Hudson, America Ferrera, Gabourey Sidibe, et al.); the role also requires a SOULFUL/BELTING singing voice (think Jennifer Holiday/Hudson, Lauryn Hill, Fantasia Barrino/Frenchie Davis, Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan, Rihanna, et al.); Philomena is the kindest most loving/caring person you'll ever meet, BUT don't f--k with her (or worse yet, her friends) 'cause her ex-gangbanger (Bloods) rage may emerge (she can most definitely kick even the most 'rough-neck' man's a--).

LogLine: She saved his life... now she's gotta kill him.
