Casting Call
Hello Everyone!
As before this is another call for talent. I have tagged you either because you came to mind or know that if someone you knew jumped to mind you be willing to share.
This is a call for Zach Smith, who is embarking on his senior film. The film which has not been named yet (As i am aware) Is a visually motivated piece, much like a poem of some events that occured in Missouri. The film is on the dark side of things but knowing Zach should be stellar in its visuals. Here is some things Zach had to say to me about the piece.
my short film being shot this summer. It is a visually motivated interpretation that will give an insight into the lives of an old Missouri couple who find a bizarre way to make ends meet.
My two main characters, Ray and Faye, are a male and a female who are in their 70's. Ray is an uneducated, illiterate ranch man who has been in and out of jail for cattle theft and writing fraudulent checks. He is cold and has no compassion. He abuses his wife and kids, lives like he is above the law and is always struggling for money. Faye is a compulsive list keeper that suffers from battered wife syndrome and obvious insanity. All she wants is to have a normal life so she finds ways to cope with her extraordinary situation. These characters are extremely dark and need to have a certain appearance.
I am also looking for:
-a male between the ages of 30 and 40 to play as a cowboy styled hitch-hiker/ drifter
-a male between the ages of 45 and 50 to be a detective
-four males between the ages of 25 and 50 to be sheriffs
-another male between the ages of 40 and 50 to be a Judge
-four males and/or females between the ages of 30 and 40 to be lawyers
-a 20-30 year old female as the courtroom stenographer
-and I am also looking to get 10-15 extras to fill the courtroom
This will be a 5-10 minute piece with NO DIALOGUE. So the casting will not be the typical casting call but more of an opportunity for me to try and find the right look for each part. I am very excited for this production and know it is going to be something unique and special. Transportation, food, lodging, and a professional, fun experience will be provided. I would like to start casting sometime next week but the actual production won't be until August. The story, idea and crew are in place, all I need is you.
Take a look and feel free to contact Zach, if the piece isent for you contact some friends and let them know!
Email me at zacharysmith720@gmail.com or give me a call at 307.259.2963. Please provide a headshot if possible so any time being wasted can be avoided. Thanks!

This Short film is scheduled to shoot August 5th, 6th, and 7th.
We are holding a casting call on the 9th and 10th of July beginning at 11 am, at the Art Institute of Portland. We are currently looking for our Female Lead Emily, the Company Boss-Male, Peters Best friend-Male (this is a non-speaking roll), and waitresses (this may also be a non speaking roll)
Emily- an attractive young woman of average height and blonde hair between 20 and 27. She is very bright but has a fear of success, although she also fears becoming a life long waitress.

A person who often takes life's easiest path, Emily is there to offer balance to the picture through her perspective.
BOSS- this is a male role ranging from 30-55 years in age. The boss can be described as an arrogant egotist who finds pleasure in lording over subordinates. He enjoys using metaphors and hand gestures when disciplining his employees.
Peters Friend- a young man between the ages of 20-25 with an average/athletic build. He is secretly in love with Emily but cannot bring him self to speak when he is in her presence. He is often perceived as rude because of his shyness.
Waitresses- Between the ages of 20 and 30. One waitress 20-25 will have two lines.
Auditions are located at the Art Institute of Portland -1122 NW Davis St. Beginning at 11am. I can answer any additional questions that you may have as well as provide pages, or further descriptions for any of the roles.

Auditions for Mysterious Skin (Portland)
Book of Dreams Productions presents Prince Gomolvilas' stage adaptation of Scott Heim's novel Mysterious Skin to be presented August 18 through Sept 24. Auditions will be NEXT weekend; contact me for more info. This job comes with a modest stipend; the amount will be related to ticket sales and some fund-raising projects. If there are questions about this, please contact me privately and I'll be glad to talk with you.
This version is a little different from the 2005 Greg Araki film, though it's just as poignant, and the story is the same. The IMDB describes it like this: "A teenage hustler and a young man obsessed with alien abductions cross paths, together discovering a horrible, liberating truth." So the characters are:
Brian, the alien-obsessed young man;
Neil, the young hustler, late teens or early 20's;
Avalyn, a lonely 30-something self-described UFO abductee;
Wendy/Deborah, supporting characters in their early 20's played by the same actress;
Eric/Christopher, 2 a young male acquaintances of Neil's, played by the same actor;
Margaret/Receptionist, two minor middle aged female roles, played by the same actress;
and Martin/Philip/Benjamin, three minor middle aged roles, played by the same actor.
I'm sure I'm leaving something out here, but I hope to hear from a lot of you interested in this exciting project.

African American Actor Needed 1-2 days Students welcome! (Portland Area)
I'm looking to produce a short video in the next couple weeks to enter into a video contest in Idaho. I'm in need of a younger African-American male to play the lead role. The project is pretty simple and short and the duration would only be 1-2 days.
There is no pay up-front, however it will be great to add to a personal reel/resume. If my video does win any prize money, a small payment would be negotiable! Just a tiny bit about the project itself: the video is a sort of parody of an NBA star.
Please e-mail me with your name, experience, and any other materials (demos, photos) you may have.
Thanks.

Casting for Indie Short (Portland)
CASTING CALL for short film "The World of Missing Persons" by Travis Ezell
Low budget film production is casting for three principal parts.
Tressa Willoney lives alone in a rundown apartment. One night, after another long, thankless shift waiting tables, her late-night routine is interrupted when a drill comes grinding through her bedroom wall. It withdraws, leaving a tiny peephole into the bedroom of Luke and Chia, the overly friendly, attractive twenty-something couple next door. Tressa does her best to ignore the temptation, but she can't hold out forever. Not sure if this was an intentional ploy or some kind of strange accident, she gradually involves herself more and more in Luke and Chia's lives. (Naturally, hijinks ensue.)
For more info: www[dot]iceninefilms[dot]com
LUKE (18-25). Male. Sexy, bohemian stoner, just a hint of street kid in him. Good looking and knows it, easygoing and laidback. Unambitious and unassuming, full of love for everyone. Dynamite in the sack, but otherwise not an aggressive bone in his body.
CHIA (22-28). Female. Offbeat, sexually confident, a little bit punk (tattoos and piercings, hair-dye maybe; or the kind of girl who WOULD do those things even if she hasn't). Very sensual and open personality -- friendly flirting is her normal manner. Just at the age/ mindset where "doing nothing" and "having a good time" aren't quite enough for her, but she doesn't know what she wants yet.
TRESSA (30-40). Female. Greasy-spoon waitress, still decent looking but no longer feels like it, and is starting to give up on herself (socially, romantically). No close friends or family, so it's been alone a while since she just relaxed and had a nice time with people; unless she's asking how you like your eggs, her social skills are pretty rusty.
*************
Nudity Required: Actors must be comfortable being (tastefully) nude and portraying intimate situations on film.
Schedule: Shooting will take place no more than eight days between August 9th and 24th. Compensation: This is a low budget production. Starting at $70+ per day. Payment
depends on experience.
Audition Date and Location: Auditions are being held Saturday July 9th at The Northwest Film Center 934 SW Salmon St.
Contact: To schedule an audition time or for more information, contact Laurel Degutis by responding to this ad.
