Actresses wanted for silent comedies
Producing a collection of silent comedies in the vein of the classics of the genre like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton and am looking for interested and enthusiastic actresses to perform in the individual pieces. Each film will be a short, of the 5 to 10 minute variety, and are engulfed in wacky scenarios that are driven by active and physical comedy. A few of the storylines include a young woman who must teach herself to die and another one follows a young person who believes they have accidentally killed their landlord. As mentioned before, I am looking for upbeat and enthusiastic actresses interested in the lost art of true comedy.
Compensation: no pay

specific extras needed! (downtown portland)
An independent Portland film director is seeking ten key extras for the shooting dates of September 1- 3. From 10 am to noon downtown.
Unpaid, but it's a great chance to be part of a passion project with an incredible script that'll have lots of local Northwest press as well
as being screened in the Northwest film festival and also be out in festivals through out the country (and abroad) next year.
NOTE: Three lucky extras will have one (very simple) line of dialogue.
'The Bus' tells the story of a beautiful, snobby socialite who is in town for a weekend but misses her flight and reluctantly takes the bus to the airport. Disgusted and feeling out of place inside the bus she
falls asleep on the shoulder of one of the passengers and a surprising thing happens...."
DATE - SEPTEMBER 1 - 3
TIME - 10AM - 12 NOON
DESCRIPTION OF EXTRAS - Any age. We would love to see men and women over forty and fifty years old as well as twenty and thirty somethings. Glasses, no glasses, crazy hair, no hair. And all the random, interesting looks that make up a city like Portland is a plus.
An attached photo with your email is a plus.
Lunch provided.
We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible!
Compensation: no pay
