Info
The Advanced Filmmaking class is holding auditions for two short films on Tuesday, Feb. 18, from 3:00-5:00 in Room 136 in Moss Performing Arts Building on CMU Campus. This is an open call for all actors.
PROJECT 1: Three college students attempt to complete a bucket list during spring break in order to live a little before adulthood, but some twists and turns complicate their path.
We are looking to cast some minor roles but also needing lots of extras for a food eating contest and a fight at a karaoke bar.
The following roles need to be cast:
Officer - Looks like Paul Blart, a pushover, not very confident security guard, average size/build.
Employee - Open to interpretation, very snoopy and uptight, paranoid.
Associate - Open to interpretation, mysterious informant to main villain.
Extras- 10-15
Little Man - Looking for a skinny porcelain looking boy, not too tall but not too short- very timid and reserved.
Big boy - Looking for a taller man, can be beefy but not required, very daunting and competitive.
Singer- Someone that can sing off key, no specific look required. A very minor extra roll.
4 platter servers- All have similar build and all wearing same outfit- open to interpretation. Don't have to look the same as faces will not be shown on screen.
We possibly might need an understudy for Champ, our main villain.
Champ- determined, daunting, to themselves, but classy. Over 5'10" - 6'0", preferable female but open to other interpretations. Must be willing to run/do some minor stunts- fight choreography as well.
If you know any grandmothers that would love to make their acting debut's we are looking for one sweetheart.
