Actress Needed for Short Film Shoot 12/9-12/11 (Portland, OR)

Actress Needed for Short Film Shoot December 9th thru 11th.

This is the fifth and final short film in a series we have been doing. The previous 4 films in this series (as well as the trailer for my feature sLipPage, now in post-production) are available for viewing at http://vimeo.com/user6310107/videos

For this film I need an actress/model in the 18-25 age range. This part is one of the two lead roles. Acting experience preferred, but I'm looking for a certain look: beauty, sadness, seductiveness. Expressive eyes a must. Much of this film will be dialogue-free, so a specific look is more important than acting experience.

This gig is non-paying, so only apply if you appreciate the style of the shorts we have already done.

The previous shorts are entitled ENGAGE-FAIL, FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS, KILL! GREGO! KILL!, and THE GOLDEN SILKWORM. This fifth film is entitled TRUE FEELINGS.

Email headshots, questions, concerns, resumes.

Thank you for the interest!

- Bryan Hiltner, writer/director

Casting Call - Margo and Jones (PDX)

Casting call for new short film, MARGO AND JONES. Auditions will be held at the NW Film Center, this Saturday and Sunday, December 3rd and December 4th, 2011. We will be casting from 11:30am to 4:30pm on both days.

NW Film Center
934 Southwest Salmon Street
Portland, OR 97209
(503) 221-1156

Please email us at MargoandJones@gmail.com if you are interested in auditioning for any of the roles. In your email please address which role(s) you are interested in auditioning for and what time you are available to audition. Also, please include your headshot as well as your current actor's resume if available.

Production is scheduled to shoot on the weekends of January 20th through February 12th. (Approximately 4 weekends)

LOG LINE:

How high would you go for a friend?

After their close friend David's medicinal marijuana dispensary is shut down, Margo and Jones try to acquire his prescription the illegal way. Attempting to buy marijuana off of high-school students, fleeing from police, and accidentally ingesting copious amount of prohibited narcotics create an once in a lifetime adventure for two middle aged ladies.

We are looking for several different roles to fill. Here is a list of the characters and their descriptions:

Margaret "Margo" Black
Margo is in her 40s. She is a very calm and collected individual whose feathers hardly ever get ruffled. She is always "put together" from her clothing to her non-chalant attitude. She doesn't like to show her emotions in public as she feels it is most unbecoming. This can make her seem a bit cold, but the smile on her lips suggests otherwise. Coy to a fault, but gentle and affectionate. She is the most introverted of the group. Margo is one of the lead architects at a thriving design firm.

Tracy Jones
Jones is in her 40s. Quite intelligent, she skipped a few grades of high-school, but her close connection to her inner child makes her appear juvenille and vapid. She is very free spirited in both attitude and dress contrasting to Margo's immaculate appearance. An easy-going prankster, Jones loves making people laugh and not taking life too seriously. Jones has gone through a few career paths, but has settled on her latest role as the owner of a successful yoga studio as well as a yoga instructor.

David Howard Pittman
David is in his 40s. The most extroverted of all, David is a true go-getter. Spontaneous and hardly ever willing to say no, David often gets into sticky patches and has to be bailed out by his friends. But that's why they love him so. David's mundane job as a financial advisor is heavily contrasted by his hobby of dressing in drag. He is the glue that holds all the characters together. He has been very courageous in his fight against non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer.
David was given a green card by his doctor in order for him to take medicinal marijuana to combat the side effects of chemo-therapy mainly the nausea. Embarrassed to smoke by himself, he convinced straight up alcoholics Margo and Jones to smoke with him.

Robert "Bob" Riley
Bob is in his late 40s early 50s. A straight-laced and cultured man of the world, Bob is often the butt of jokes and criticisms from Margo and Jones but only because he is David's boyfriend. Bob cares deeply for those around him and has nursed David through his entire cancer treatment. Bob is a man of few words in normal circumstances, but is quick to direct the troops in times of crisis.

HIGH-SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR
Chases Jones during the high-school scene. Late 40s.

Police Officer
Link
Pursues Margo and Jones on the road.

If you have any further questions or know someone perfect for one of the roles, feel free to contact us via email at MargoandJones@gmail.com

Thank you for your interest.

Putting together a string of short pieces under the same guise of addressing commonly stressful situations in an absurdly calm manner and then in an absurdly honest manner; a very comedic premise.

Actors needed for student thesis film.

HEART is an experimental-narrative about the Kierkowzki brothers' struggle with adult coping and learning how to let themselves live.

Lead Role
JONAS KIERKOWZKI: 27 - 35 year old male. Jonas relies on minimalism in every facet of his life. His minimalism serves as a means to quell the guilt and terror he inflicts on himself as a result of witnessing his brother's childhood death. Sharing the burden of their brother's death, Jonas is very close with his brother Kevin.

Lead Role
KEVIN KIERKOWZKI: 27 - 35 year old male. World-renowned astro-physicist, Kevin balances his time between new discoveries within the multiverse and making the existential choice to die.

Supporting Role
BENJAMIN WALTERS: 25 - 30 year old male. A grant writer for the conservation of wild spaces, Ben is the well-balanced intermediary between the Kierkowzki brothers. Having dated Kevin for some time, it became clear to all parties involved that Jonas would benefit from inclusion in the relationship. While not conventional, their relationship with Ben provides the most stability in the lives of the brothers.

Minor Role
EVELYN KIERKOWZKI: 50 - 60 year old woman. Mother of the Kierkowzki boys, Evelyn is the salt of the Earth.

Minor Role
MISHTA: 25 year old East Indian woman. Nurse.

Production will occur in February/March 2012 with auditions in December. No acting experience required; prepare for extensive, sometimes unconventional rehearsing. Because these are unpaid roles, we are prepared to be flexible with schedules.

It is a theatrical style that was the basis of modern day horror, and has been being produced by Third Eye Theatre for the past three seasons. Third Eye Theatre's Grand Guignol is always composed of at least four one-act vignettes, and one notable M.C. in what might be best described as live, horror, cabaret. So, come join our M.C. Monsieur Guignol for a roller-coaster ride of comedy and horror in our new play, modern Grand Guignol series.

Grand Guignol 4: Psychosis is composed of four world premiere one-acts. The Faith Healer by Matt Hanf is a comedy about two women and their quest to heal what ails them. Bedford's Sty by Daniel Guyton is a thriller about what happens when Bedford, a disabled man, and his caregiver, when Bedford realizes the past while cleaning his room.

CASTING (PDX)

Hey All,

We are casting for a feature entitled, "Be Meaner," to be shot starting the beginning of February, 2012. The budget is about to begin raising on Kickstarter (Nov. 15th), which is looking really smart. There will be rehearsals beginning once the cast has been selected. The rehearsals will start Twice a Week, on Monday and Thursday Nights from 7-10 PM, but will move onto 3 days a week (Tuesday), before filming. We are looking to pay everyone $100 for each filming day. Casting is on November 28th, 29th & 30th from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Please look at the Cast Below and E-Mail your Headshot, Resume, Reel (if you have one), and Your Available DAY for Auditions. DO NOT apply if you cannot make rehearsals. DO NOT apply if you cannot make the three hours for auditions. There are over 30 Roles, a few of which have already been cast;

But first the plot:

The PLOT revolves around a group of good girls led by Seashell, a Castilian Inventor and Sailor. They are trying to stop Rusty BcBallion, who leads in the bad guys' attempts at using a machine that will destroy racism, forever. Because, if the machine is used it may make everyone really warm to one another, which may cause global warming.

CAST ("Filled" means Already Cast, but it's here to help you understand the characters better):

Seashell - Castilian Leader of The Super Girl Squad (SGS); Filled

Shelly - Best Friend of Seashell's, new to it all; Filled.

Frank - Idiot, Suicidal Scientist

Brain in Jar - Wise-Ass; Filled.

7 Tiny Soldiers - Speaking Parts, but not lead. They have two fantastic moments in the film.

Rachelle - Girlfriend of Garlandiosio, head not screwed on so tight, a leader of sorts, in Seashell's Squad.

Tree in Corner - a voice of reason, such as the brain-in-jar, but a little immature; Filled.

Michelle - Total bad-ass second in command of The SGS; short bob of dark hair; well-kept.

Dog Monster - Ex-Student of Seashell, gone made, loves milk.

Rusty BcBallion - The Main Bad Guy; a shadow of a man; must have that voice to fit; rarely seen is his face; must be at least 6'4.

Old Man/Bartender - Father of Speece, killed gruesomely, very much a bit part.

Speece - Rusty's Companion, a total bitch, dirty-blonde hair.

Jargonaut - A hired gun here to help; Filled.

Queen Maritime - Ex-Compatriot of The SGS, now a bad girl, amazingly formal, though completely vain; black hair.

Seleptar - An assassin and master of disguise hired by the Queen, way cool.

Zing-Tao - Oriental suitor and friend of Varsteekurfintin and Valruse, lives in the desert, the quickest of the three.

Varsteekurfintin - Indian suitor and friend of Zing-Tao and Valruse; can read time through fire like a crystal ball, such as the other two.

Valruse - African suitor and friend of Varsteekurfintin and Zing-Tao, the strongest of the three.

Tall Plant - a voice in charge of the plants, deep, booming.

The Vine of Truth - a voice of what may be and capable of turning plants into people, more of a sweet voice.

Plant A, D, G & B - All dumb as can be, love to love, very bit part.

Two Dungeon Guards - Bit parts, but BIG, STOCKY, more than a few scenes.

Plantini - Ex-Plant, Blonde; Filled.

Leavesali - Ex-Plant, Hispanic, see Oak (below) for More Information.

Oak - Ex-Plant, African-American, like the other two above, she is easily confused but all three are new members of The SGS.

Mayor - Big, Fat, Broad-Smiled, High-In- Pitched-Voice-Resonance, the Mayor of Cloud City.

Brooklyn - Lives on the docks, hates life, piercings in face.

Caitlyn - Also lives on the docks, also has piercings.

Marilyn - Same as the other two Lyn's above, all are gothy and have each a different speech pattern, difficult to describe, but all three a blast to play, all newly dragged into being a part of The SGS.

Man on Boat to Die - The smallest part in the film, simply gets his neck broken.

E-Mail your stuff (questions if needed), and we'll get you your Sides, promptly. You may ask for as many roles as you like. Auditions will run simultaneously with all. Thank you!

Local Short Film Needs Vietnamese Actors (Inner Southeast)

Hello Portland!

I'm a local filmmaker currently in the fundraising process for a short film project that we are intending to shoot this summer. At the moment we are casting for two roles for a scene from the film that will be used as proof of concept and promotional material for fundraising.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The story revolves around a series of seemingly random, strangely anxious, and, at times, comical encounters between estranged Vietnamese-American brothers whose curious relationship is slowly revealed backwards in time. The inverted chronological structure will be interwoven with a style of lyrical, stream-of-consciousness "documentary" filmmaking that is largely inspired by Chris Marker's Sans Soleil.

This bricolage of images is the interstitial space between their encounters and, together with the narrative, the film will be a unique amalgamation of dramatization and documentation that obscures the lines between fact and fiction.

ABOUT THE CHARACTERS

Michael:
25-35 year old Vietnamese male of average build. Having been raised in the US since early childhood, English is his primary language. However, he can speak Vietnamese at a grade school level. Michael is a business professional with a contrived comportment of control and intentionality. He at one time pursued creative writing educationally and professionally. His current life is an unhinging repression of his instinctive artistic desires, a troubled past, and self-ambivalence.

Khanh:
30-40 year old Vietnamese male with a stocky build. Khanh is a Vietnamese immigrant who comes to the US in his 30's with a small family comprised of his mother, father, and a younger brother. As he tries to reconcile his vision of the American Dream with a less than hospitable reality, his chronic addictions, born of Third World strife, is hyper-exacerbated into alienating and uncontrollable mental illnesses. Towards the end of the chronology of events, he exhibits aggressive signs of Tourette syndrome and drug addiction coupled with possible schizophrenia. MUST BE ABLE TO SPEAK VIETNAMESE MODERATELY WELL AND BE ABLE TO DO A VIETNAMESE ACCENT IF THERE IS NOT ALREADY ONE NATURALLY.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS

Please visit us at www.nomenstatua.com

THE LOGISTICS

WHEN:

Wednesday, 11/30
10AM-4PM

Thursday, 12/1
10AM-3PM

WHERE: Inner Southeast Portland

COMPENSATION: There is no monetary compensation but you will be fed well, receive a copy for your reel, and be strongly considered for the role when the film is to be shot for real at which time there will be pay for your work.

Please email headshot and resume to Vu Pham for more information and/or consideration. Thank you for reading and hope to see you at the audition!

Actress Wanted - comedy short

Looking for an actress to help shoot a short comedic/mocumentary-style short film, dabbling with the concept of cheating on tests for school. The concept of the piece chronicles the idea of students playing footsie as the "new craze" for cheating or sharing answers on school exams. The overall concept and subject matter will make for fantastic parody and absurdity. I am looking for someone in the age range of roughly 20 years (obviously someone who doesn't look older than college age). No experience necessary.
