This post contains auditions posted on November 29, 2012.
As you know, the available work is always limited this time of year as we hit our slow season in the PDX market. That being said I will still update the blog as work comes along, minimally once a week.
I am glad that this blog is a helpful and reliable resource for those in the PDX community, and it is great to know people are booking work from using this blog.
Thanks for visiting and supporting this blog.

WHEN: Wednesday, December 12th from 12pm - 4pm.
Callbacks to be held the following Wednesday, December 19th between 10am and 4pm.
WHERE: Third Rail Rehearsal Space @ 1621 NW 21st Ave.
WHO: Equity and Non-Equity Actors
ROLE: Srinivas (20s-30s) - Extremely intelligent, Oxford-educated Indian man. Suave, charming, and attractive. Runs a children's charity in India. Portland Playhouse seeks actors of Indian heritage for this role but encourages all actors of color to audition. This is a paid role. AEA actors: SPT minimum contract, no health. Rehearsals will be held during the day.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
Young wife and mother Jane (Nikki Weaver), gripped by personal and moral crisis, flees her family and her home in the UK without word. Jane’s husband discovers her recuperating in rural India, cared for by an English expat artist (Gretchen Corbett) and counseled by an attractive, Oxford-educated Indian do-gooder. In this stirring play about love, choice, and personal responsibility in a global age, acclaimed British playwright Helen Edmundson urges us to consider how we set our own priorities.

DP and Director - Micro Budget Holiday Film shooting early 2013 (Medford, Oregon)Looking for a DP (with camera) that would like to join a team shooting a micro-budget Christmas/Family feature just after the new year in Southern Oregon. This is a 3 week shoot, and the budget is very small, but if it works, and we make something magical, there will be more projects.
I am also searching for the perfect director to join our team that has experience with family films.
As stated, this is a micro-budget feature, so if you need to make a normal rate, please don't respond. We don't expect people to work for free, but this budget is very small. We will provide money for travel expenses and housing as well.
Please email if interested with a link to previous work, and a little information including type of camera you own plus the lowest rate you will take for a shoot with 14 camera days.
